The Canon imagePROGRAF iPF6350 Large Format Printer accepts media as wide as 24" (61cm). A larger color spectrum is produced by Canon's re-formulated 12-color LUCIA EX pigment ink set, increasing the achievable color gamut by approximately 20% from the previous imagePROGRAF 12-color series, and allowing over 90% coverage of Pantone colors.

The iPF6350 is equipped with a large 80GB hard drive, geared to increase productivity in high volume printing and streamlined workflows, while allowing for faster processing of large files as well as the ability to reprint jobs directly from the printer. With its built-in Ethernet interface the iPF6350 can be shared on a network with multiple computers.

Canon has updated its drivers for this printer to include two high-precision printing modes, one for photos and one for text and fine lines. Together they deliver unsurpassed quality that could not be achieved with previously available modes.

The iPF6350 comes with an array of print plug-ins and productivity software which help take your print output to the high levels that photo professionals expect for their businesses. The Print Plug-in for Adobe Photoshop enables 16-bit image processing. The Media Configuration Tool provides the ability to make adjustments to printer settings for exceptional output with third party media. With PosterArtist Lite poster creation software you can quickly and easily produce beautiful large format prints, with or without borders, in four easy steps.

The quality of images produced with the imagePROGRAF iPF6350 makes it an ideal solution for graphics, fine art, photography and proofing.

LUCIA EX Ink Set
This re-formulated 12-color LUCIA pigment ink system increases the achievable color gamut by approximately 20% from previous imagePROGRAF 12-color series. With LUCIA EX, expect exquisite photographic output, more expressive black tones, smooth color gradations, and the capability to reproduce fine details, even in the shadow areas of photographs. The LUCIA EX ink set improves scratch resistance while reducing bronzing and metamerism, for consistent ultra high quality output.

This ink features:

  • Wider color gamut
  • Better scratch resistance
  • Less graininess
  • Smoother gradation
  • Reduced bronzing
  • Sharper blacks
  • Deeper dark tones
Print Plug-in for Adobe Photoshop
This export module allows 16-bit image processing, preserving the expanded color spectrum and high gradation of the original file. The Print Plug-in reduces the possibility of incorrect settings, by providing an integrated interface for print settings in Photoshop and the printer driver, enabling efficient production. In addition, the plug-in supports an Adobe Color Conversion Module (CMM) and proof printing is now possible by simulating the colors produced by printing presses.

The following enhanced features are provided in the Print Plug-in for Photoshop:

  • Adobe CMM support
  • Proof printing support
  • High-Precision Text/Line mode support
  • High-Precision Photo mode support
  • New image processing technology
  • Support for commercial profile creation tools
Print Plug-in for Digital Photo Professional
This export module allow users to directly process and print RAW image files from DPP. This plug-in bypasses the operating system's dependent print driver, allowing processing of 16-bit RGB images directly, which dramatically increases gradations and as a result, overall image quality.

Features:

  • Full screen preview
  • More print quality selections
  • Categorized paper type view
  • Roll paper layout view
  • Bi-cubic enlargement
Media Configuration Tool
Recognizing the expanding array of media options for large format printers and to further improve the versatility of these new imagePROGRAF models, Canon has developed a new Media Configuration Tool, which not only allows customers to utilize Canon-branded media, but provides the ability to make adjustments to printer settings to enhance the precision and quality of output achieved with third party media.

Settings that can be configured using media parameter adjustment features include:

  • Media weight and thickness
  • Ink drying time for rolls
  • Paper feed amount
  • Print-head height
  • Vacuum strength
  • Maximum ink usage
80GB Hard Drive
A built-in 80GB hard drive within the printer increases productivity by relieving workload from the host PC, while providing a large capacity for print job data storage and retrieval. This 80GB hard drive enables job data to be stored in protected mailboxes for easy access via web browser or at the printer for job re-printing. The embedded hard disk is ideal for medium to large workgroups to share a printer efficiently with multiple users, offering sample job storage space. To ensure security of your files, there are is a quick erase mode, high-speed mode, and a secure erase mode which meets to U.S. Department of Defense requirements (DoD5220-22M) for erasure of disk media.
High-Precision Print Modes
Two print output options have been added to the Printer Driver to give users in proofing and photography environments the ability to create exquisite prints with exceptional detail. These print modes were designed to deliver a level of quality a step above the previously available print modes, giving users more choices when creating prints.

The high-precision printing mode for photographs delivers output with less graininess, enhanced glossiness, sharper blacks and deeper dark tones.

The high-precision printing mode for text and fine lines reduces excessive thickness in text and fine lines while reducing the misrepresentation of colors produced.

Redesigned Control Panel
With an intuitive design, the control panel on the imagePROGRAF printer helps make printing easier than ever. The large, bright, and easy-to-read LCD screen has four graphic tabs for paper settings, ink levels, job information and adjustments. The tabs can be viewed "at a glance" with more detailed information just a touch of a button away. The panel is equipped with a navigation function that illustrates printer instructions. Users can follow easy illustrated steps to load paper, replace ink tanks, and other operations. This control panel also includes one-touch functions, such as Feed and Cut buttons, making the imagePROGRAF printer easy-to-use right out of the box.
Built-in Calibration
The iPF6300 printer is equipped with the ability to easily reset back to the original optimal factory settings and apply any necessary adjustments across all the printer's media types in just minutes. At the same time this creates a stable, predictable printing platform on which superior results can be consistently achieved. The system has built-in calibration sensors that help compensate for adverse environmental conditions while providing a predictable platform for color management and consistent color reproduction.
Accounting Manager
The Accounting Manager serves as a powerful feature, used for accurate management of printing costs and other information that is increasingly important in today's economic environment. With Accounting Manager feature you can track how much ink and paper is being consumed when printing large format output. Costs can be assigned to the ink and paper to determine expenses based on your own "Cost of goods". Each individual ink tank can have its own cost associated to it, as well as a variety of different paper types. The user can also input a variable cost that will be added to the total of the print cost. The data is exportable to a .csv format for Microsoft Excel so the data can be used for billing purposes. This feature will allow you to determine the cost of each print based on your actual cost.

Features include:

  • Log recording time
  • Job name
  • Client job ID
  • Client job submission time
  • Job completion time
  • Job completion state
  • Ink consumption per job
  • Media type
  • Number of completed pages
  • Media consumption area per job
Print Plug-in for Microsoft Office
This utility makes it easy to print large format documents created in Microsoft Word, Excel, or PowerPoint. The plug-in appears in a tool bar inside the Microsoft application and has an easy-to-follow "Wizard". The plug-in will bypass the printer driver to simplify the printing process. A few simple steps convert your 8.5 x 11" office document to poster size.
PosterArtist Lite

        Comments about Canon imagePROGRAF iPF6350 Large Format Printer (24", 61cm):

        I use it to produce fine art for sale. The print quality is superb. The gamut is large and detail is superb, including tonal separation in the shadows and a high Dmax. After getting the right ICC profiles and tweaking my preview adjustments, I compared 6350 prints from scanned negatives with gelatin-silver prints made on fine art paper: very similar (unless, of course, you use a loupe to pixel-peep --- but don't do that). The 6350 has never jammed. Installation and use are straightforward. In short, *highly* recommended.

        I might be inclined to gripe about the provided 90ml ink cartridges instead of the standard 130ml ones they must be replaced with. However, judging from what comes at this price, I understand that Canon had to trim costs somewhere, and they didn't do it in the unit itself. This ink is fabulous but expensive, and presumably you are selling your prints to recover the cost. Absolutely *nothing* is cheaply built or flimsy about this unit, not even the packaging.

        Comments about Canon imagePROGRAF iPF6350 Large Format Printer (24", 61cm):

        After printing on Epson large format for years, I have drawn some firm conclusions. One, Epson for the proofing industry with a forward RIP frontbox can be fantastic. Epson for photographers printing from a Mac with the newer photoshops can be...not so good. If you have ever experienced the CS5 color calibration issues with Epson, the driver incompatibilities, and the borderless printing problems, prepare yourselves for this: Canon solves all of these things. They use a plug-in for photoshop. And it works wonderfully. They seem to stay on top of the updates for OS and Adobe. Good customer service when I called for a minor questions. And no kidding, I took this thing from in the box, to making calibrated prints in about an hour and half. No issues with an xrite eye one either. As far as looks...to tell the difference between this and the Epson would take a magnifying glass. Of course the color looks a little different between all major brands, thats all based on comparison. I would take what people say about color with a grain of salt. If you've had a rough time with Epson as so many have, get this instead.

        Comments about Canon imagePROGRAF iPF6350 Large Format Printer (24", 61cm):

        We purchased this printer to produce professional, gallery quality prints on a variety of media. [...] The assembly was very simple once you finally sort through the vast array of literature to find a language that you speak. The job of carrying the printer and setting it on the stand requires two people so be prepared! Operation is very user friendly, the printer prompts during setup and while in use, the driver software also includes accounting software that can tell you the exact cost to produce a print dependent on the media. Media can also be tracked by printing a bar code on the edge of the media to tell the printer what the media is, print settings for the particular media, and how much media is left on the roll. Although we haven't put it through the production test yet i'm confident that it will perform beautifully!

        We use this printer for printing on silk. It is a replacement for the IPF5100 we have been using for 2 years with no problems. We needed 24 inches. The IPF6350 was easy to set up. The new inks are great with excellent saturation. All transport mechanisms work well although it's tricky to get non-roll fabric to feed correctly, but that's not a normal activity. We're happy.
