The Canon imagePROGRAF iPF6400 24" Wide Format Printer was designed for professionals in the graphic, fine art, photography and proofing markets that seek the highest possible standards for quality-control and image reproduction. An incredibly large color spectrum is produced by the 12-Color LUCIA EX pigment ink set, which also provides better scratch resistance and smoother gradations. The Multi-sensor included with this printer provides improved color density detection and allows for a full calibration to be completed within 15 minutes, with the ability to use non-Canon branded media.
A Color Calibration Management System allows for color calibration targets to be created using the iPF6450 with optional spectrophotometer and shared across all iPFX400 12-color printers and the included software allows for all printers on the network to be monitored from one central location. The printer supports ink tank sizes of 130ml and for the first time, 300ml and the sub-ink tank keeps some ink in reserve to allow for tanks to be changed without interrupting a print. In highest print mode, the order of ink application and layering is optimized to maintain the highest print quality with fewer passes, making this mode twice as fast compared to previous models.
To expand printing options and capabilities, the iPF6400 printer comes bundled with a Print Plug-in for Adobe Photoshop, Digital Photo Professional and Microsoft Office. The enhanced Print Plug-in for Adobe Photoshop includes a Adjustment Pattern Setting which allows for multiples of an image to be printed at once with different color values implemented and displayed. Gallery wraps for canvas prints can now be created using the Gallery Wrap Feature.
To improve versatility, the iPF6400 has a media configuration tool which allows customers to not only utilize existing Canon-branded media, but also with third party media. Designed for efficiency, reliability and above all quality, the iPF6400 is the professional's answer to superior quality large format prints.

Tip: Has your Canon imagePrograf Printer Plug-In and Print Studio Pro Plug-In disappeared after Adobe updated Photoshop via the Creative Cloud? Don’t worry, Adobe has not deleted your plug in. It is still in the old Plug Ins folder for your previous version of Adobe Photoshop. Just drag it from the old Plug-Ins folder to the new one. You can also download the installer again and reinstall it in to your new Plug-Ins Folder. Still not working? You can reach out to Canon Tech Support here.
