The iPF8400SE features 256BM Buffer RAM for more efficient printing of complex jobs, making it easier to handle larger amounts of data, store larger print jobs, and reprint them easily without resending from a PC.

Easy to change ink tanks, located at the front of the iPF8400SE are replaceable without having to stop printing. Custom media and sizes can be pre-loaded into the printer and the drivers. Borderless printing means no need for offline trimming, saving time and money and Automatic Skew Correction allows for unattended printing by automatically adjusting for any skew in orientation and fees the paper/media correctly. A thoughtfully designed fan system ensures the quietest of operation. The media catch basket has three settings for convenience.
In addition to the easy access to sophisticated functions on the LCD panel, keep track of printing costs with Canon’s built-in cost management software, the Status Monitor, calculating print costs and tracking ROI. The accounting functionality calculates pages printed and the associated costs, customisable, enabling the monitoring of printing costs while also helping understand and manage paper use.

KEY FEATURES

The Canon imagePROGRAF iPF8400SE is ideal for retailers who need to print on demand and require a low cost of ownership. The iPF8400SE creates great quality, durable, long lasting posters and point of sale displays using the Canon LUCIA EX 6-colour pigment ink system.

Print quickly in fast economy mode, minimising production time and keeping costs low. Productivity is improved through a new mirrored nozzle layout and the option to print in Fast mode, which enables the print speed to be as much as doubled, while still maintaining a level of print quality that rivals that in standard mode.

More on Canon imagePROGRAF proprietary technologies

Canon ImagePROGRAF wide format printers use a number of advanced Canon proprietary technologies. FINE (Full-photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering) print-head technology features a total of 15,360 nozzles into just one 1″ 6-chip high density print head. There are 2,560 nozzles for each colour, black, matte-black, magenta, cyan, yellow and red. Bi-directional printing design of the ImagePROGAF printers means print times are significantly faster than conventional print systems which require multiple passes for each line to compensate for uneven droplet size and placement on the paper. An innovative ink-nozzle manufacturing method results in precisely uniform 4 picoliter droplets resulting in 2400 x 1200 dots per inch (dpi) resolution and outstanding photo-quality print performance.

Canon’s unique LUCIA EX pigment ink systems incorporate 6 colours and superfine 4-pl (picoliter) ink droplets ensures a wide colour gamut, smooth gradation, reduced graininess and reduced bronzing. LUCIA EX ink systems increases the colour gamut by around 20% and have an innovative polymer structure that results in exceptional scratch resistance and protection from colour fading, while reducing bronzing to ensure durable, stable output. Specific technology controls ink placement according to the ink’s characteristics resulting in superb contrasts and detailed graduation in dark areas.

Canon’s advanced L-COA (Large Format printer Common Architecture) image processor delivers faster high-quality output and print optimization. L-COA helps your printer carry out the most complex print jobs – where files can often exceed 200MB – with ease.
