The Canon ImagePROGRAF iPF5100 is a wide-format printer integrated with an intuitive interface and better colour profiles for consistent, high-quality results and ease of operation. The ImagePROGRAF iPF5100 inkjet printer is aimed at professional photographers and small businesses involved in poster-making, proofing, and fine art, but it is oversized, heavy, and overwhelming to use.
Design
Designed for wide-format printing of high-quality vivid graphics and photographs, the Canon ImagePROGRAF iPF5100 large format printer is integrated with the 12-colour pigment ink system and bubble jet on-demand print heads. The intuitive controls are easy to navigate because of the large LCD screen. The wide and sleek frame of the iPF5100 weighs 52Kg and measures 31.9 inches deep and 13.5 inches tall. Connectivity is between USB and Ethernet, with the printer having enough RAM at 192MB for consistent speeds.
Advantages
Excellent customer support is available for the Canon ImagePROGRAF iPF5100. It is well-constructed for resiliency and longevity, with a built-in roll field that saves users from installing a separate one. The very fast print speeds make the Canon ImagePROGRAF iPF5100 more impressive and time-saving for businesses. It is easy to programme the ImagePROGRAF 5100 printer to meet specific print needs like borderless printing.
Disadvantages
The low-yield ink cartridges make the Canon ImagePROGRAF iPF5100 colour inkjet printer expensive to run. Some users find the control panel overwhelming and difficult to use when navigating through menus. Size is another drawback, as well as the weight of the Canon iPF5100 printer model. This device could be better if it supported wireless connectivity and direct printing, and high-yield cartridges would also make a big difference in terms of affordability.
