Canon IPF9000s
IPF 9000s has been released into the market in 2010, I was very pleased with this printer so far we have been doing alot of work for mobile brands which the colours come outstanding. This machine does a self clean and you wont see no bandings. I was like WOW, Really quick turnaround. I'm looking to invest another canon machine in 1 years time as this will be paid off in 6 months by the way things are running here.
I found some info about this machine on signs 101.
Durability of Prints
It uses pigmented inks and gets typical pigmented ink durability. Up to 1 year outdoor, 100 years indoors, etc.
Print Quality
This printer has a maximum print resolution of 2400x1200 dpi. That’s all good and all but completely unnecessary. 1200x1200 dpi is the typical resolution you’ll be running. The color on this printer is awesome. Far better than the HP Z6100 and better than the Epson 9800. The print quality is immaculate.
Print Speed
The IPF 9000s produces 1200x1200 dpi prints at 400 sfph. This is not really recommended for glossy media but, damn, that is fast and it looks good, too. Really good. Really fast. At 2400x1200 dpi it hit 105 sfph on glossy media. Awesome. Made possible by packing in over 30,000 nozzles. Holy crap.
Miscellaneous Rants
Doesn’t include RIP software. We use Shiraz RIP, It's preety good.
Miscellaneous Raves
Very easy to use while still giving you versatility. Instead of taking away the ability to change settings like the HP it makes it easier to change settings and apply the change to a range of medias. This printer is user friendly but it isn’t coated in armor to protect it from idiots. It’s the perfect balance, as far as I’m concerned.
Did I mention how fast this thing is on real photo medias? Hell yes.
The ink tanks are nice. First of all, they’re really big. They’re 700ml. Second, the printer has intermediate ink reservoirs so if you run out of ink in the middle of a job you can change ink cartridges on the fly.
Definitely built better than that damned HP. We had the priveledge of introducing the IPF9000S at a tradeshow and people were walking right past the HP like it wasn’t even there and crowding around the Canon.
If you need a 60” printer for indoor and short term outdoor, this is it. To hell with the others. Seriously. It runs for just under $6,000.
) because the amount of profiles already available for it is immense!! I believe it was the first printer they profiled in RGB on as well.
