Canon iPF6200 Printer Review
When it comes to large format inkjet printers, the Canon imagePROGRAF iPF6200 is among the leaders on the market. There have been similar models released by Canon, but this one seems to have the edge by just a few features. For instance, the iPF6100 has 256 MB of memory but the iPF6200 has 384 MB. This unit holds 12 printer ink colors, which make for some excellent graphics printing. Designed mainly for businesses that require printing on large media types, such as banners and blue prints, the iPF6200 certainly isn't a best seller. However, for the purpose it is meant to serve, it is hard to beat.
Weighing just less than 150 pounds and measuring 46.5x34.3x39 inches, the iPF6200 is a powerful machine that will take up a good amount of space and be impossible to move by oneself. However, it does come equipped with wheels on the bottom to make transportation a bit easier. Maintenance on this inkjet printer will not be cheap, especially with 12 Canon iPF6200 ink cartridges. The colors of these are cyan, magenta, yellow, black, blue, green, gray, red, photo cyan, photo magenta, matte black and photo gray. The addition of the specialized photo imagePROGRAF iPF6200 ink cartridges will guarantee that images and graphics come out looking professional and vivid.
The Canon iPF6200 ink has the ability to reach resolutions as high as 2400x1200 dpi, which is about average. The Canon FINE technology uses nozzles to produce 4 pl dots of printer ink that blend together to form the impressive tones. When more imagePROGRAF iPF6200 ink is needed, replacements can be found online from the manufacturer or third party vendors. OEM ink is available, but may seem a bit pricey to many. Remanufactured Canon iPF6200 ink can be purchased from online vendors with a guarantee to produce the same number and quality of prints as the OEM.
