Canon IPF605 A1 Plotter in action

Canon IPF605 Plotter, plots an A1 colour in 33 seconds
available from wydos.co.uk for under £995 + vat
Stands are optional £250 + vat
The plotter takes 6 cartridges , these are large 130ml , instant drying inks
great for photos and CAD
but not a dedicated graphics machine , for this I suggest the new IPF6300 - a fine machine
If you require an A0 machine look no further than the IPF 750

hello i am a architecture student... i m going to buy a plotter but i don't know witch one. so can you help me please! Between IPF605 and hp 510( canon costs 805€ and hp 1600)? I think canon will be a good choice. but is the maintenance more expensive then the hp?and Does canon works with mac?thanks;)

@suixxxo Hi there

The HP510 is old technology 10 years old + , they are very reliable and cheap to run BUT struggle with graphics and very slow, and suffer from clipping problems (missing edges etc),memory problems , not great for visuals, and a low dpi

The Canon is 5 times quicker and double the quality , instant drying inks

free networking built in, superfast graphics/photo processing , automatic paper loading...etc

but yes, they are more expensive to run.

Hope that helps

@suixxxo forgot to mention ,Canon works fine with Mac OSX

check out the drivers sections of canon.co.uk or .com

Thanks for the video. What's this plotter like doing posters or large graphics? What is the quality like?

[wydos1234]

superb for graphics and posters

but not lightfast.

It is a CAD/ Photo printer

@wydos1234 Thanks for your response. Do you have a video of that? Doesn't have to show the whole print, just want to see the quality really. I've only seen black and white prints

[wydos1234]

the quality is great

2400 x 1200 especially on glossy paper

I have two boxed machines in stock

and I can't unbox and set one up for one print.

I have two machines out on 7 day trial. If one comes back I will do a full colour a1 and post the video
