The Canon ipf9000 is Canon's launch into the 60" wide format
printer market segment. The Canon ipf9000 serves to fill a needed void
in the marketplace for a high quality, production-friendly wide format
inkjet printer that is larger than 44" and still affordable. The release
of the Canon ipf9000 60" printer and Canon ipf8000 44" printer began a
direct attack on the already well established Epson printer market.
One
of the major criticisms on Epson to date has been their reluctance,
whether through choice or contractual boundary, to release an inkjet
printer wider than 44". The market has been demanding such a printer for
some time since the only models available were from lower quality
brands such as Roland, which were slow and used old ink sets. Canon's
decision to release the Canon ipf9000 immediately expressed their
determination to fulfill this void in the race to establish a base of
users. The release of the Canon ipf9000 should have happened years ago.
Unfortunately for Canon, word on the street is that Epson is due to
release a 64" wide format inkjet printer some time in July 2007 that is
expected to seduce the market into forgetting that the Canon ipf9000
ever existed in the first place. We will have to wait and see.
Until
then, we should analyze the Canon ipf9000 and its unique features
because some very notable advancements have been made. In this article
we will analyze the different features and advantages of the Canon
ipf9000.
