8 color LUCIA Ink technology

An innovative color configuration that further increases print efficiency by dispersing eight colors of ink across twelve ink channels of the two print heads for better ink coverage with each pass and greater productivity without sacrificing image quality. The iPF8000S features 8 colors of LUCIA ink (Cyan, Photo Cyan, Magenta, Photo Magenta, Yellow, Black, Matte Black and Gray) for a dynamic color gamut. The inclusion of Gray along side Photo Cyan and Photo Magenta helps to create smooth gradations and reduced graininess, creating a crisp monotone output. Black, Matte Black and Gray help optimize black density regardless of media type to reproduce better gray tones for smoother transitions from white to black.

New Print Mode

The new Economy Print Mode produces 1200 x 1200 dpi output at 211ft2/hr on coated and uncoated paper stocks while reducing ink consumption by 10% to 20%. This new feature regulates the use of Photo Cyan and Photo Magenta inks to produce high quality output at a lower total cost.

Built in 80GB

Hard Drive Increased hard drive storage space within the iPF8000S increases productivity by relieving workload from the host PC while providing a large capacity for print job data storage and retrieval. This 80GB hard drive enables job data to be stored in protected mail boxes for easy access and printing.

Built in Calibration

The iPF8000S printer is equipped with the ability to easily reset back to the original optimal factory settings and apply any necessary adjustments across all the printer's media types in just minutes. At the same times this creates a stable, predictable printing platform on which superior results can be consistently achieved. The system has built-in calibration sensors that help compensate for adverse environmental conditions while providing a predictable platform for color management and consistent color reproduction.

Print Head (PF-03)

Engineered for speed and advanced image production, the iPF8000S boasts Canon's dual print head system to lay down ink with unprecedented speed and accuracy. Unlike conventional printers with a single print head, the iPF8000S uses two high-precision, high density print heads with a total of 30,720 nozzles. It lays down precise 4 picoliter-size ink droplets to produce sharp detail and excellent image quality. An innovative ink channel configuration accelerates print efficiency by distributing the ink across the two print heads for better ink coverage with each pass.

Print Plug-in for Adobe® Photoshop® and Digital Photo Professional — An export print module

These export modules allow users to directly process and print RAW image files from DPP or Adobe Photoshop. These plug-ins are export modules that bypass the operating systems dependent print driver, allowing processing of 16-bit RGB images directly, which dramatically increases gradations and as a result, overall image quality.
