Productivity is one of the most important features your

ductivity matters. Busy work environments that need to

output long plots, produce multiple sets and meet tight

deadlines will get more done in less time with Canon.

than the HP T1300 and T790!

The Epson SP9700 reduces image quality to 360dpi to

achieve faster output of line drawings, at 720 dpi the

Epson printer slows down to just 54.5 D size prints/hour.

Canons high speed image processing reduces the

time from click to first print.

Produce full color images 65% faster than the Epson

SP9700.

Print full color images 18% faster than the HP models!

#2: Only Canon offers a 36 wide color CADprinter.

A majority of participants in our imagePROGRAF on-line

Solution Selector indicated that when it comes to print-

ing CAD documents, 36 is the maximum size they need.

easy access to media means that these Canon printers

take up less office space yet provide all the production

capacity needed to get the job done. If a customer wants

imagePROGRAF performance and benefits in a larger size

show them the 44 wide iPF815 and iPF825 printers.

#3: Flat Stacker/Basket

A new feature of the iPF765 and iPF760 printers is the

inclusion of a flat loading stacker basket that holds up to

twenty, 24 x 36 sheets of plain paper. This unique Canon

feature helps keep your customers documents neat andorganized as they come out of the printer.

#4: Great Value and Performance

The fastest CAD and poster printers in their class, Canon

imagePROGRAF large-format printers deliver the indus-

trys best value, performance and reliability. Canons

unique High Density Print Head and Reactive Ink technol-

ogy ensure high speed throughput in every print mode

- without sacrificing quality! Easy-to-use, competitively

priced and loaded with time, space and money saving

features and functions there is no question that Canon

imagePROGAF printers are a great value, delivering yourcustomers maximum productivity and optimum perfor-

mance.

#5: Privacy, Security and Peace of Mind

Recently cloud computing has become a popular option

for low cost data storage. The new HP eT1300 and eT790

seek to capitalize on this trend. Be careful cloud com-

puting may not be appropriate for all of your customers.

Storing data to the cloud means uploading documents

to another companys server.

If that third party server is compromised - sensitive data

and important documents can be lost or accessed by

unwanted users!

The Canon iPF765 printer s large 250 GB Hard Drive en-

ables your security sensitive customers to maintain directcontrol over their files and provides them with more

options including a triple overwrite of the hard drive that

conforms to the DoD.52220.22-M standard of the U.S.

Department of Defense!

And the new Interface Lock System on both the iPF765

and iPF760 printers further enhances security functions

at the printer and provides an option for administrative

control over who has access to the printer.

#6: Largest Built-in Hard Drive Available

More memory at the printer means more power! Canons

large 250GB Hard Drive comes standard with the iPF765

large-format printer. Equipped to handle complex CAD

files, large high resolution images and GIS files, Canons

large Hard Drive with Remote User Interface and pass-

word protected, user mailboxes means multiple users can

access the imagePROGRAF printer at the same time.

HP charges up to $1000 extra to upgrade theT790 with a 160GB hard drive.

Epson does not offer a built in Hard Drive with

the SP9700.

HPs ePrint & Share provides only 5GB of storage

and files must be uploaded to HPs server.

#7: Canons Ultra High Density Print Head

The core technology in any inkjet printing system is the

print head. The capacity of the print head helps to de-

termine both the quality and through-put speed of the

printer. With two to three times more nozzles to ejectink than Epson and HP; only Canon offers your customers

the reliability, precision and high speed throughput of an

ultra-high density print head.

#8: Maximum Black Ink Printing Capacity

Yes, Canon imagePROGRAF printers produce magnificent

full color graphics and photo quality images. But black

lines and text represent the majority of what CAD, AEC

and general use customers print most often: line draw-

ings and schematics. With two dedicated matte black ink

channels, the imagePROGRAF iPF765 and iPF760 printers

deliver over 5 times more matte black ink output capacity

than HP or Epson.

#9: Canons 5-Color Reactive Ink System

Unlike Epson and HP, Canon has engineered a unique ink

formulation specifically designed to meet the needs of

CAD, AEC and general purpose printing. Canons 5- Color

Reactive Ink System minimizes bleeding between text

and colored backgrounds, so small fonts and fine lines are

easier to read even on uncoated papers!
