New Canon iPF9000 printer - 60" WIDE FORMAT!!!


DTG recently exhibited the new Canon iPF9000 printer at Decor Expo in Atlanta. To our knowledge, DTG is the first dealer in the country to receive and demonstrate this 60 inch, wide format printer. We are now testing the Canon 9000 printer in our demo facility.

The Canon ipf9000
is a 12 color, 60 inch wide, inkjet printer. It uses aqueous based pigmented inks that are indoor archival and outdoor stable. So, this printer performs equally well in the signage, photo, giclee, and graphics markets.

Our initial impressions of the Canon ipf 9000 are very favorable. This printer is fast, very fast. Many printers claim faster speeds (at lower qualities) but this printer actually produces high quality, (sellable) prints in speeds that exceed 100 square feet per hour. In fact, we were printing at these speed/quality settings at the Decor show in front of fine art customers accustom to seeing giclee prints and they were in agreement that the Canon ipf9000 produces extremely high quality giclee prints at these speeds.


We have been waiting for a 60 inch, highly productive printer that is as easy to use and maintenance free as the Epson printers that we've been so spoiled by for the last several years. Until now, our only solution for high speed 60 inch printers has been printers costing 40k plus which require daily maintenance. The Canon iPF9000 printer fills a huge need in this wide format inkjet market with its low-cost, quality, speed, and ease of use.

At DTG, we have been profiling the Canon 9000 inkjet printer with a variety of substrates including giclee canvas, fine-art papers, photo papers, and banner materials. Look for profiles soon on dtgweb.com for Hahnemuhle, Canon, Moab, Fredrix, BullDog, Kodak, Ilford, and other medias.

DTG will start shipping the Canon ipf 9000 printer to customers in the 3rd week of September. Please call 1-800-681-0024 if you have any questions.
