Canon began offering innovative large format printers in 2006 with the rollout of the imagePROGRAF iPF line. Since then, Canon has built its lineup of imagePROGRAF printers to include more than 20 versatile models that address the various large format printing needs of engineers, graphic art designers, photographers and professional printing services. Canon has quickly established itself as a major player in the large format market...in fact, capturing the #2 market share position in the wide format aqueous inkjet market above 24-inches in 2008, according to InfoTrends, a leading worldwide market research and strategic consulting firm for the digital imaging and document solutions company.
Why 28seconds?
28second comes from the performance of the new imagePROGRAF models. All new models are capable of printing a D/A1 color line drawing in approximately 28 seconds*. These versatile, compact, high-performance printers were engineered with engineers in mind, packing the print power and critical features needed for AEC, CAD, GIS and other technical applications.
