Canon has upgraded its large format colour printer
range with the launch of two new 36in devices with
optional MFP capabilities, the imagePROGRAF iPF760
and iPF765.
Both models feature a number of time-saving features
for the production of large technical documents, including a
horizontal stacking basket for A1 plots to ensure prints stay
organised and flat once they have been printed.
The imagePROGRAF iPF765 also features a 250 GB hard
drive, 32GB of which is dedicated file-processing memory for
streamlined workflows in a networked environment or where
large-sized documents with complex imagery are produced.
As well as applications in CAD, AEC and GIS, the new
printers include software utilities for users in the retail signage
industry and general office environments. It can print technical
documents at up to 2400 x 1200 dots-per-inch (dpi).

Asset DB on a tablet
Newfield IT has added a new module
to its Asset DB Managed Print
Services (MPS) toolset that allows a
sales person to conduct audits using
an iPad or Android tablet with a 3G
connection.
It can also be used by the customer for
remote data collection, avoiding the cost
and time of sending someone to collect
information on a small number of devices.
In addition, WebSmart, which runs on
all key web browsers and is compatible
with multiple operating systems, can be
used by the customer to view and add
comments to future state design
proposals created in the core
Asset DB application.
Robert
Newry,
managing
director of
NewField IT, said:
“Asset DB WebSmart is
another exciting development for
the toolset that further broadens the use
of the application, which is already used
by 1500 MPS professionals in 17 different
countries.”
