The above were the frequent asked questions during the recent IPMEX 2011, PWTC, Kuala Lumpur. The latest Canon iPF8300S was making a debut in IPMEX2011, together with Canon iPF6300 and Canon iPF750, visitors were able to witness the print speed and quality of the imagePROGRAF 5, 8 & 12-color series.

I was there for half a day, hanging around the Canon LFP corner, testing the printers with various files and medias. I noticed that many job printers, fast print operators, photo studios operators, and pre-press operators were among the visitors that interested on Canon iPF5300, Canon iPF9300 and Canon iPF9300S.

There is no information reveal from the Canon Malaysia at this moment.  To all my blog readers whom are  having the same questions in mind, please stay tuned, I will definitely make known to you as soon as I received information on the release date of Canon iPF5300, iPF9300 and iPF9300S via this blog.

HP Designjet T2300 eMFP vs. Canon iPF750 MFP Review

MFP or Multi Function Printer is not something new  in the office equipment or office automation industry. Nowadays, copier is also known as multi function printer. As for large format printer, most of the LED large format printer like Océ Plotwave, Océ Colorwave, Fuji Xerox DocuWide and Ricoh Wide Format Photocopier are a ready built wide format multifunction printer.

Océ Plotwave 300

HP Designjet and Canon imagePROGRAF series are single function large format printer. By adding-on a large format scanner, the entire device will be capable to perform tasks like copy, print, scan & network (depending on the scanner model).

Colortrac Ci40 Large Format Scanner

HP Designjet T2300 eMFP is a breakthrough as a 36-inch scanner is integrated into the printer. But, I still believe that HP Designjet T1200 HD MFP (HP Designjet T1200 + Contex Scanner) or Canon iPF750 MFP (Canon iPF750 + Colotrac Ci40 series) are a better option as compared to HP Designjet T2300 eMFP in term of functionality, reliability and cost effectiveness. 

Below is the video comparing HP Designjet T2300 eMFP vs Canon iPF750 MFP that covers most of the FAQs from the large format printer users.
