Canon iPF6000S Printer Review

Most companies in the world would be content with any laser printer on the market and most people who simply need a personal printer would find a simple inkjet machine is capable of completing all tasks. However, there are companies who specialize in advertising, architecture and even engineering that produce large-format banners or blue prints. Fortunately, machines such as the Canon imagePROGRAF iPF6000S are designed to handle the high-volume and oversized demands of these types of companies. Not only does this unit have the capacity to handle large media types, it also produces excellent color tones and does so at impressive speeds.

Using the Canon FINE technology, thousands of nozzles release 4 picoliter droplets of CanoniPF6000S ink over every inch of paper, creating intricate color schemes. Graphics and images will come out looking like they were printed at a lab. There are 8 imagePROGRAF iPF6000S ink cartridges used in the unit. The 4 standard colors of printer ink are magenta, cyan, yellow and black. This device also requires photo cyan, photo magenta, matte black and gray. The addition of the 4 extra colors of CanoniPF6000S ink is what makes the prints so clear and vivid.

Connected by USB port and ethernet interface, this inkjet printer is wired. It does offer networking for shared use in the work place and it also comes equipped with 256 MB of memory and an 80 GB hard drive. The imagePROGRAF iPF6000S ink can reach resolutions of 2400x1200 dpi, which is exceptional considering the complexity of the print jobs bestowed upon this 145 pound device. Though it is Energy Star qualified, maintenance can be a bit pricey. Replacement Canon iPF6000S ink cartridges are not cheap, but remanufactured versions are available for a discounted price. This type of printer ink will work just as well as the OEM.
