Pages are printed at the page size of the PDF file. If the size of the paper loaded in the printer is smaller than the page size of the PDF file, part of the image might not be printed. It is not possible to print to an iPF printer if you cannot run the Canon imagePROGRAF Print Utility from the PDF application. If this happens, use a different application to open the PDF file.

“We were taking on a lot of wide format work, but didn’t have a suitable printer for the job we had to outsource everything. This meant that we weret in control of the process or costs and as the volumes increased we decided to invest in a device so that we could bring the work in-house.
