Six new models have been unveiled by Canon U.S.A. in its imagePROGRAF lineup that include four new five-color, large-format inkjet printers, and two new large-format imaging systems. These devices offer faster printing speeds, lower operation costs, along with upgraded software for an enhanced user experience particularly in mobile and cloud-based printing applications.
These products for the in-plant market will be on display at Graph Expo.
