imagePROGRAF iPF780 & iPF785
The Canon imagePROGRAF iPF780 & iPF785 36-inch large format printers build on Canon’s award winning line of 5-color printers, and provides enhancements in both hardware, and software capabilities. The iPF780 & iPF785 devices are capable of producing an Arch D (24″ x 36″) print in up to 21 seconds using Economy mode, and an Arch E (33.1″ x 46.8″) print in up to 41 seconds! The printer has the capability of accommodating 300ml ink tanks, geared towards lowering the cost per print. The included Sub-ink tank system allows for users to use all of the ink in the tank before replacing, while also replacing the empty ink tanks on-the-fly without having to stop a job mid-print and sacrifice print quality.

High Speed Printing
The imagePROGRAF iPF780 & iPF785 printers have the ability to output a D (24″ x 36″) sized drawing in Economy mode in approximately 21 seconds! It can also produce an E (33.1″ x 46.8″) print in approximately 41 seconds! When you need to keep projects moving forward and meet deadlines, this kind of speed is critical. Powering these incredible print speeds is Canon’s L-COA (Large Format Printer COmmon Architecture) print controller, driving the imagePROGRAF print engine to lay down ink with exceptional speed and precision. This high-speed processor enables the print system to process large volumes of data while optimizing output of complex high-color GIS images and architectural renderings for maximum readability and color accuracy.
