Canon imagePROGRAF iPF6300 Ink Cartridges

Canon iPF6300 Printer Review

The Canon imagePROGRAF iPF6300, also referred to as iPF6300S, is a 24" large-format inkjet printer designed to be used for advertising, marketing, and wide photographs. This machine is also used in offices that produce banners, blueprints, and various types of signage. Weighing close to 150 pounds with the stand and measuring approximately 39x46x34 inches, more than one person will be needed to install or relocate the unit.

The primary operating systems used in work environments are supported by this device, including Windows and Mac. A USB 2.0 connection is available, though most offices will prefer to connect via ethernet interface, which will allow anyone within the network to connect to the iPF6300. 160 GB of hard drive space is provided, and the unit has 384 MB of memory.

In a step up from similar 8-color models that have come before it, this color printer offers LUCIA EX Canon iPF6300 ink, which is said to provide a 20% increase of the color gamut. Though the machine can handle up to 8 imagePROGRAF iPF6300 ink cartridges at one time, there are actually 12 different colors of printer ink available for users to choose from. The options include cyan, magenta, yellow, black, matte black, gray, photo gray, photo magenta, photo cyan, green, red, and blue Canon iPF6300 ink cartridges.

Because it is a large-format printer, a paper roll that is 59 feet long is the primary canvas. However, there is an option to manually feed single sheets of alternative media if needed. Over 30,000 nozzles are used to eject the imagePROGRAF iPF6300 printer ink, creating a maximum resolution of 2400x1200 dpi. Each droplet is approximately 4 picoliters, which is considerably smaller than a raindrop.

It may seem complicated to have 12 different colors of Canon iPF6300 ink to choose from, but this feature allows the machine to reach new levels of detail when printing graphics and images. Because of the size and specific purpose, the iPF6300 inkjet printer is not a good fit for all offices, but it certainly is a reliable addition for large-format production environments.
