The customer is a regional interior design company that take care of all aspects of interior and the exterior design covering the portfolio such as retail, hospitality, residential and commercial industries.
The company’s existing HP Designjet 500ps, 42” wide format inkjet printer has broken down and the spare parts have been obsolete. Leaving with no choice, the customer need to purchase a new large format printer for replacement.
The Canon imagePROGRAF large format printer authorized reseller; Automate System Sales & Services Sdn Bhd was invited to make a proposal on the above requirement. A detailed user requirements study has been conducted by Henry Hea, the sales consultant of Automate System with the findings as below.
In the past, the HP Designjet 500ps is used to print line drawings such as schematic layout, final scale layout and construction drawings. A part from the HP Designjet 500, the design house is also having one unit of Canon Pixma IX4000 A3 size inkjet printer which caters for design concept printing where colour color accuracy is very critical.

During the user requirement study, Henry also found that the design company is outsourcing jobs like fine arts reproduction to print studio. As quality is always to primary priority to this design company, quality control is one of the challenge to them in ensuring the color output matched the original artwork on these out source tasks.
The Canon iPF8100, 44” 12-color large format inkjet printer was proposed to meet the user requirements as below:
1. Print CAD drawings up to B0 size.
2. Produce quality prints with high color accuracy. ∆E < 2.0
3. Versatile to print on wide variation of media type for fine arts reproduction.
4. Savings by lower cost per print
5. Piece of mind- All Canon iPF series LFP are covered by 3 years on-site warranty in Malaysia.
6. Trade-in Rebate.
To ensure WYSIWYG output, both of the monitors of the graphic art designers have been calibrated with X-rite Eye-One Pro calibration tool and Profile Maker 5 calibration software.
Total of 4 PC and 2 MAC systems are connected to the Canon imagePROGRAF 8100 large format printer. CAD and graphic arts users were trained to operate the Canon iPF8100, all of them are satisfied with the performance and user friendliness of the new Canon iPF8100, 44" large format inkjet printer.

Is X-rite Eye-One Pro good? Plan to buy one calibration tool. Don't know which one to buy...
The alternative for X-rite Eye-one Pro would be X-rite Color Munki Photo, the latter is more suitable for pro-consumer.
