Canon iPF6100 Review

The Canon iPF6100 is a substantial printer, which you'll discover as soon as you see the box and palette, weighing in at about 175 pounds. Setting up the iPF6100 is a two-person job, so plan on having someone around to give you a hand with it....

If you're in the market for a 24 printer, the Canon iPF6100 should be high on your list. Print quality is excellent with color images that rival or exceed anything I've done on an inkjet printer. ...

ImagePROGRAF iPF6100 pro printer

The imagePROGRAF6100 should put an end to talk that Canon can't compete in the professional photo printer market. With a better ink formulation and an improved print head, this 12-ink printer produces excellent images on both glossy and fine-art media.

Handles roll and sheet-fed media up to 24 inches wide ; Great print quality ; Speedy

ICC profiles not named correctly ; Build quality feels cheap ; Documentation could be better

The $3,495 iPF6100 is one of two new wide-format printers from Canon, both of which use the same 12-ink printing architecture. The iPF6100 prints on roll paper up to 24 inches wide, although like many roll-fed units it can take sheets one at a time,...

Canon imagePROGRAF iPF6100 Printer

The introduction about a year ago of 12-color pigment printers by Canon was a major addition to the fine art and photo printing area. No longer did only Epson own this category. For the first round, Canon brought out the 17" iPF5000, 44" iPF8000 and...

If you're in the market for a 24" printer, the Canon iPF6100 should be high on your list. Print quality is excellent with color images that rival or exceed anything I've done on an inkjet printer. Print speed is amazing - this is the first printer I've...

Object of Desire: Canon imagePrograf iPF6100 Printer

Canon adds another heavyweight to its large-format printer line.

Pricing for the 5100 has not been released but it should be somewhere near the 5000's initial $1,945 price tag, while the price on the 5000 should drop. The imagePrograf iPF6100 will have a list price of $3,495

imagePROGRAF iPF6100

Large-Format Printer

Great color saturation, print speed, detail; quiet

Website difficult to navigate for ICC profiles, drivers, etc

Overall, the Canon imagePROGRAF iPF6100 produced stunning prints at a variety of sizes. Its quick and quiet output was a welcome feature and its ease of use made for a pleasant print experience. While the ICC and driver problem was a bit of a turnoff,...
