Q.

 

Has anything been changed in the driver? 

Its usability has been enhanced with some changes, such as a new web link feature and 
improvements of user’s manual and user interface, providing a better environment for easier and 
more casual use of large format printers. Specific improvements are described below.

Ambient Light Adjustment   

Ambient Light Adjustment feature has been incorporated. It is based on Kyuanos, a 
next-generation color management technology of Canon. When a print is viewed under different 
lighting conditions, the printed colors look different. This feature adjusts colors before printing in 
accordance with the specified viewing environment to ensure optimum color reproduction in the 
finished prints.   
(Refer to the section on 

Ambient Light Adjustment feature (and Kyuanos)

 for more details.)

Web link feature and enhanced accessibility to user manual   

An html-based utility, the “imagePROGRAF Support Information” has been newly set up.
