A Comprehensive BLI Laboratory Evaluation



OCTOBER 2008

Exhibiting the fastest colour and black print speeds of any wide-

format printer tested to date, the Canon imagePROGRAF iPF820

performed commendably during its 969-square-metre BLI evalu-

ation, demonstrating that it can capably satisfy the needs of Ar-

chitectural, Engineering and Construction (AEC), Computer-Aided

Design (CAD) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) profes-

sionals, as well as many general corporate wide-format workﬂows

and print for pay/production environments. The 44-inch image-

PROGRAF iPF820 generated a broad range of architectural plans

and maps with exacting detail, as well as high-quality mono-

chrome and colour graphics on heavyweight coated media. Its

dual-roll design offers users the ability to quickly switch between

two different media types. The ﬁve-ink set, which includes both

dye and pigment black inks, produced colour that remained highly

consistent throughout the testing period. This highly reliable unit

also offers very good ease of use, with BLI technicians citing very

few incidences of incorrect ﬁrst-time loading due to operator mis-

alignment during feeding, and comprehensive guidance from the

control panel.

BLI highly recommends the Canon imagePROGRAF iPF820 for

AEC, CAD and GIS professionals. Furthermore, when used with

premium media, this device provides acceptable high-quality

graphics, including sign applications as well.
