KEY FEATURES

Key features of the M85 MFP

The M85 MFP includes the Colortrac SmartLF SC36c MFP scanner, featuring breakthrough new SingleSensor (CIS) scanning technology that boosts image quality and colour capture performance, ideal for the majority of scanning applications. The M85 MFP scans at up to 13 inches/sec (mono), and scans documents up to 38″ wide (36″ image width. The Colortrac SmartLF SC36c scanner features 1200dpi optical resolution.

The M85 MFP includes the Canon imagePROGRAF iPF 785 36″/A0 large format printer and stand, featuring a unique 5-colour dye/pigment reactive ink system designed specifically for CAD & GIS applications. This means clearer text, smoother curves, and sharp fine lines even on uncoated technical papers. Using reactive inks also improves scratch and marker resistance so prints are far more durable than those printed with conventional dye inks. The M85 MFP printer produces 2400 x 1200 dpi resolution and offers high speed (fast economy mode) printing of A0 prints in just 41 seconds.

The M85 MFP is a versatile scan and print solution designed to meet the speed and precision requirements for CAD/GIS applications. Easy to use with efficient scanning and file management, the M85 MFP can scan and save to PDF, JPEG,TIFF, AutoCAD DWF, PCX and BMP file formats. Economical and cost efficient, the M85 MFP features an accounting function which allows tracking of the cost per print, viewable via the printer driver and a selectable Economy Print Mode, which uses less ink, perfect for printing draft documents.

MORE INFORMATION

More on M85 MFP proprietary technologies

The M85 MFP includes the Colortrac SmartLF SC36c large format scanner, which features new SingleSensor (patent pending) digital imaging technology, combining Contact Imaging Sensors (CIS) in a robust design aligned in a single line array with a full width straight line image sensor of 30,000 pixels, resulting in 48-bit colour and 16-bit greyscale data capture. The Colortrac SmartLF SC36c features a dual bi-directional extra long life RGB white LED lighting system which optimises illumination, delivering accurate, consistent colour and more control over the details in the shadows and highlights. The LED lighting system features Instant-On scanning, lowering power consumption, and eliminates the effects of shaded areas caused by document creases. The LED lighting system has an estimated working life of 50,000 hours or over 5 years of continuous scanning.

The M85 MFP includes the Canon imagePROGRAF iPF785 (5-colour) wide format printer, which uses a number of advanced Canon proprietary technologies to achieve fine lines, small text and highly detailed graphics produced with incredible accuracy and sharpness.

FINE (Full-photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering) print-head technology for 5-colour imagePROGRAF printers features a total of 15,360 nozzles into a 1″ high density print head. Bi-directional printing design of the M85 MFP means print times are significantly faster than conventional print systems which require multiple passes for each line to compensate for uneven droplet size and placement on the paper. An innovative ink-nozzle manufacturing method results in precisely uniform 4 picoliter droplets resulting in 2400 x 1200 dpi (dots per inch) and outstanding print performance.

The M85 MFP features Canon’s 5-colour dye/pigment reactive ink system designed specifically for CAD and GIS applications. This unique formulation improves ink adhesion to the media, minimises colour bleeding and includes a new magenta ink for reproduction of brighter red colour. When black ink intersects with coloured ink (for example, words printed on a colour background) the black and cyan inks induce a chemical reaction that prevents black from bleeding into the colours. This means clearer text, smoother curves, and sharp fine lines even on uncoated technical papers. Using reactive inks also improves scratch and marker resistance so prints are far more durable than those printed with conventional dye inks.

The M85 MFP utilises two types of black ink for the best possible results on all types of media. For photo-type a black ink (BK) is used and for high contrast prints on matte paper, a matte black (MBK) is used. This process ensures smooth graduations across every media type and is highly efficient as the relevant ink is automatically selected for each media type.

Canon’s advanced L-COA (Large Format printer Common Architecture) image processor delivers faster high-quality output and print optimization. L-COA helps your printer carry out the most complex print jobs – where files can often exceed 200MB – with ease.
