COLOR ACCURACy
Color Accuracy
refers to a device’s ability to not only
reproduce colors the same way every time, but also
ensure that the color’s output is, in fact, the color
that’s required in the image. The new imagePROGRAF
12-color printers include an upgraded, built-in multi-
sensor designed to offer even more precise
calibration
and color matching
. Automatic color calibration is
finished quickly after a few simple steps on the printer’s
operation panel. A single color calibration performed
with one type of media can be applied to media in all
printing modes.
COLOR CONSISTENCy
Color Consistency
is a device’s ability to produce and
reproduce colors without a shift or change in tone,
hue, or density. An image printed on a device that’s
producing colors consistently will always look the
same any time that image is printed on that device on
the same media in the same mode. Canon includes
the
multi-sensor
to help ensure color accuracy and
consistency for a single printer when more than one
is being used in a printing environment.
OPTIONAL SPECTROPHOTOMETER FOR iPF6450
As an optional add-on to the
iPF6450
printer, the
SU-21 spectrophotometer is essential for anyone
who’s looking for efficiency in the proofing industry.
This easy-to-install solution attaches onto the front
of the iPF6450 printer and provides the foundation
for an advanced color management system.
The SU-21 spectrophotometer device includes:
•
A fully automated
mobile carriage
for the sensor,
allowing for media of different thicknesses to be
loaded and used with this device.
•
A
single-piece
backing plate that’s unique to
Canon’s device and has a black and a white
side on it.
•
User-switchable
UV blocking filter
that can be
switched on and off according to paper type; no
need to purchase individual sensors for each stock.
•
Scan speed of
10 inches per second
.
•
The ability to generate color calibration charts is
possible for
third-party-media
, allowing users
to expand their workflow options.
•
Conforms to 2010
XRGA
measurement standard.
COLOR CALIBRATION MANAGEMENT CONSOLE
The Color Calibration Management Console (CCMC)
allows for centralized management of networked
printers in a system from one easy-to-use software
tool. This
unique
feature enables color calibration
targets created using the iPF6450 printer with the
optional SU-21 spectrophotometer that can be
linked
across the entire line of new 12-color
imagePROGRAF devices. A printer’s administrator
can monitor and manage each printer from a remote
location.
Linking color calibration
targets among
multiple printers allows color calibration for custom
media to be performed on printers not equipped
with a SU-21 spectrophotometer unit.
