10 reasons the new iPF765/760 large format printers are the best choice for your customer. 1. Speed - The fastest CAD and Poster Printer in its class. 2. Width - 36 width required by most CAD users. 3. Flat Stacker Basket - Included stacker basket streamlines workflows and holds up to 20 sheets of plain paper. Competitively priced and fully equipped, Canons stan- dard models include features and functions that HP and Epson either cannot match or provide at an additional cost. #1: The fastest CAD and Poster Printer in its class. Productivity is one of the most important features your customers look for in a large format printing solution. The more prints your customer needs to make, the more pro- ductivity matters. Busy work environments that need to output long plots, produce multiple sets and meet tight deadlines will get more done in less time with Canon. Produce high quality line drawings up to 24 % faster than the HP T1300 and T790! The Epson SP9700 reduces image quality to 360dpi to achieve faster output of line drawings, at 720 dpi the Epson printer slows down to just 54.5 D size prints/hour. Canons high speed image processing reduces the time from click to first print. Produce full color images 65% faster than the Epson SP9700. Print full color images 18% faster than the HP models! Top Three Competitive Advantages Competitive Analysis Fastest Possible Print Rate for Line Drawings HP T1300 103 D size prints/hour HP T790 103 D size prints/hour Epson SP9700 116 D size prints/hour Canon iPF765/760 128 D size prints/hour #2: Only Canon offers a 36 wide color CAD printer. A majority of participants in our imagePROGRAF on-line Solution Selector indicated that when it comes to print- ing CAD documents, 36 is the maximum size they need. Compared to the HP and Epson models, the imagePRO- GRAF iPF765 and iPF760 devices smaller footprint and easy access to media means that these Canon printers take up less office space yet provide all the production capacity needed to get the job done. If a customer wants imagePROGRAF performance and benefits in a larger size show them the 44 wide iPF815 and iPF825 printers. *source: www.28seconds.net imagePROGRAF Solution Se- lector: 335 out of 388 self-identified CAD users indicated that their maximum required print width is 36 or less. Fastest Possible Print Rate for Fulll Color Images Epson SP9700 Up to 445 sq ft/hr HP T1300 Up to 619 sq ft/hr HP T790 Up to 619 sq ft/hr Canon iPF765/760 Up to 733 sq ft/hr #3: Flat Stacker/Basket A new feature of the iPF765 and iPF760 printers is the inclusion of a flat loading stacker basket that holds up to twenty, 24 x 36 sheets of plain paper. This unique Canon feature helps keep your customers documents neat and organized as they come out of the printer. #4: Great Value and Performance The fastest CAD and poster printers in their class, Canon imagePROGRAF large-format printers deliver the indus- trys best value, performance and reliability. Canons unique High Density Print Head and Reactive Ink technol- ogy ensure high speed throughput in every print mode - without sacrificing quality! Easy-to-use, competitively priced and loaded with time, space and money saving features and functions there is no question that Canon imagePROGAF printers are a great value, delivering your customers maximum productivity and optimum perfor- mance. #5: Privacy, Security and Peace of Mind Recently cloud computing has become a popular option for low cost data storage. The new HP eT1300 and eT790 seek to capitalize on this trend. Be careful cloud com- puting may not be appropriate for all of your customers. Storing data to the cloud means uploading documents to another companys server. If that third party server is compromised - sensitive data and important documents can be lost or accessed by unwanted users! The Canon iPF765 printers large 250 GB Hard Drive en- ables your security sensitive customers to maintain direct control over their files and provides them with more options including a triple overwrite of the hard drive that conforms to the DoD.52220.22-M standard of the U.S. Department of Defense! And the new Interface Lock System on both the iPF765 and iPF760 printers further enhances security functions at the printer and provides an option for administrative control over who has access to the printer. #6: Largest Built-in Hard Drive Available More memory at the printer means more power! Canons large 250GB Hard Drive comes standard with the iPF765 large-format printer. Equipped to handle complex CAD files, large high resolution images and GIS files, Canons large Hard Drive with Remote User Interface and pass- word protected, user mailboxes means multiple users can access the imagePROGRAF printer at the same time. HP charges up to $1000 extra to upgrade the T790 with a 160GB hard drive. Epson does not offer a built in Hard Drive with the SP9700. HPs ePrint & Share provides only 5GB of storage and files must be uploaded to HPs server.

#7: Canons Ultra High Density Print Head The core technology in any inkjet printing system is the print head. The capacity of the print head helps to de- termine both the quality and through-put speed of the printer. With two to three times more nozzles to eject ink than Epson and HP; only Canon offers your customers the reliability, precision and high speed throughput of an ultra-high density print head. #8: Maximum Black Ink Printing Capacity Yes, Canon imagePROGRAF printers produce magnificent full color graphics and photo quality images. But black lines and text represent the majority of what CAD, AEC and general use customers print most often: line draw- ings and schematics. With two dedicated matte black ink channels, the imagePROGRAF iPF765 and iPF760 printers deliver over 5 times more matte black ink output capacity than HP or Epson. #9: Canons 5-Color Reactive Ink System Unlike Epson and HP, Canon has engineered a unique ink formulation specifically designed to meet the needs of CAD, AEC and general purpose printing. Canons 5- Color Reactive Ink System minimizes bleeding between text and colored backgrounds, so small fonts and fine lines are easier to read even on uncoated papers!
