The iPF8100 is twice as fast and has a larger,
smoother color gamut than any other
printer I've used."
I
n today's competitive market, a complete color-
managed high-efficiency workflow from capture
through output is a must. I shoot my EOS-1Ds
Mark II RAW and work in 16-bit color. With the
iPF8100, I can now maintain that high-bit-depth
workflow without having to "dumb down" the
image to 8 bits for the printer. Of course, I am
still a visual person, and there are times "per-
fect," profile-matched color is not what I want.
The Canon export module lets me make changes,
just like I used to in the
darkroom, without altering
my original file. And I can
easily catalog all of my
settings for consistency
and repeatability.

Uncompromised High-Speed Output
Canon engineers have created ingenious export modules for imagePROGRAF printers that
bypass the operating system's 8-bit restriction. The export module circumvents the operating
system and is designed with a much more intuitive interface than printer drivers. In
addition, because the export module is independent from the operating system, it
uses only Canon optimized math resulting in higher quality prints. Canon Digital
Photo Professional (DPP) software offers numerous output enhancement
features, such as layout templates, Soft Proof, and Real Preview. Using the output
enhancement features, along with Canon's export modules for imagePROGRAF printers,
allows direct 16-bit printing from DPP and Adobe Photoshop CS/CS2/CS3 for true
wide-dynamic-range workflow options from capture to output.
