Conversion Module (CMM) and proof printing is now possible by simulating
the colours produced by printing presses.
The following enhanced features are provided in the Print Plug-In for Photoshop:

dramatically increases gradations and as a result, overall image
quality.

Media Configuration Tool
Recognizing
the expanding array of media options for large format printers and to
further improve the versatility of these new imagePROGRAF models, Canon
has developed a new Media Configuration Tool, which not only allows
customers to utilize Canon-branded media, but provides the ability to
make adjustments to printer settings to enhance the precision and
quality of output achieved with third party media.
Settings that can be configured using media parameter adjustment features include:
Media weight and thickness
Ink drying time for rolls
Automatic cutting settings for rolls
Borderless printing for rolls
Paper feed amount
Print-head height
Vacuum strength
Maximum ink usage
High-Precision Print Modes
Two
print output options have been added to the Printer Driver to give users
in proofing and photography environments the ability to create
exquisite prints with exceptional detail. These print modes were
designed to deliver a level of quality a step above the previously
available print modes, giving users more choices when creating prints.
The
high-precision printing mode for photographs delivers output with less
graininess, enhanced glossiness, sharper blacks and deeper dark tones.
The
high-precision printing mode for text and fine lines reduces excessive
thickness in text and fine lines while reducing the misrepresentation of
colours produced.
Accounting Manager
The
Accounting Manager serves as a powerful feature, used for accurate
management of printing costs and other information that is increasingly
important in today's economic environment. With Accounting Manager
feature you can track how much ink and paper is being consumed when
printing large format output. Costs can be assigned to the ink and paper
to determine expenses based on your own "Cost of goods". Each
individual ink tank can have its own cost associated to it, as well as a
variety of different paper types. The user can also input a variable
cost that will be added to the total of the print cost. The data is
exportable to a .csv format for Microsoft Excel so the data can be used
for billing purposes. This feature will allow you to determine the cost
of each print based on your actual cost.
Features include:
Log Recording Time
Job Name
Job Owner
Client Job ID
Client Job Submission Time
Job Completion Time
Job Completion State
Ink consumption per job
Media Type
Number of completed pages
Media consumption area per job
Print Plug-in for Microsoft Office
This
utility makes it easy to print large format documents created in
Microsoft Word, Excel, or PowerPoint. The plug-in appears in a tool bar

process. A few simple steps convert your 8.5" x 11" office document to
poster size.
