Canon’s Alliance Program for large-format
image
PROGRAF
products was created to
identify, develop, and market software solu-
tions that not only add value to Canon’s
products, but also address customer and
industry-specific needs in the marketplace.
A Canon Alliance Partner is a company that
has applied to be in the program and was
approved by Canon. The Alliance Program
provides a process in which the partner can
conduct compatibility testing with the prod-
ucts in our image
PROGRAF
line, ensuring that
the product is compatible and the company’s
software solution enhances the value of the
image
PROGRAF
printer. Although we are
highlighting the members of the Alliance
Partner Program, there are a number of other
vendors with customized solutions for the
imagePROGRAF line. Please check the com-
pany’s Web site for more detailed compatibil-
ity information.
With a full line of Canon large-format printers
designed to be incorporated into a variety of
market segments, customers are assured
the best software to suit their needs. These
software solutions can be integrated into
a range of market segments, such as the
Proofing/Prepress, Photographic,
CAD/GIS
,
Poster/Signage, and Scan/Copy to address
customer-specific needs. Cost-tracking solu-
tions are also available for those who would
like to monitor specific expenses associated
with making production pieces by providing
detailed reports of the information. These
software RIPs will add functionality to the
image
PROGRAF
devices that are not available
in the native print driver. For example, they
will accept a broader range of file formats and
add features such as tiling, queue manage-
ment, the ability to create
ICC
profiles, and
ink tracking capabilities. With this added
functionality, the image
PROGRAF
printer
becomes a complete workflow solution.

monly used for specific targeted applications
