The Bubble Jet i6500 printer is a high quality, wide format A3+ colour printer, designed to deliver supreme prints and fulfil even specialist print requirements of graphic artists and other creative offices.

The printer offers efficiency, excellent print quality and maximum productivity without compromise. The Bubble Jet i6500 achieves 4800 x 1200* dpi resolution, which means that more ink can be placed on the paper for better colour range and photo quality. Greater image definition makes the i6500 ideal for discerning professional users.

The Bubble Jet i6500 produces high print quality by taking full advantage of Canon's advanced MicroFine Droplet Technology™ to deliver microscopic 5 picolitre ink droplets on to the paper accurately and consistently in all print modes. The Bubble Jet i6500 is capable of handling heavy print loads, with a ppm speed of up to 17 A4 pages in mono and up to 12 A4 pages for colour documents. The printer is also capable of fast borderless printing in A3, A3+, A4, 4"x6" and 5"x7" formats.

With the optional iProof PowerRIP 2000™ PostScript Raster Image Processor, the i6500 provides a highly competitive professional quality proofing solution that allows graphic artists to achieve perfectly accurate colour proofs.

7Precautions on Storing Printed Images: The 25 years of lightfastness may not be achieved depending on storage conditions. The expressed number of years is the result of simulated tests conducted by Canon Inc. and is not guaranteed.
This number of years does not apply for paper fading or durability. After printing allow the ink to dry completely. Store your images in albums, clear plastic folders, or glass frames in order to avoid exposing them to the open air.
Never store printed images in locations subject to high temperatures, high humidity or direct sunlight. Store them at normal room temperature.
(Do not use albums with self-adhesive pages to store your images since you will not be able to remove them later on.)
Tested on Photo Paper Pro (PR-101) under the following conditions; Temperature: 24°C, Humidity: 60%, Light source: White fluorescent light 70,000lux, Layer of air and 2mm thick glass on the sample, Presumed conditions: Assuming one day’s illumination as 5
In-house Evaluation criteria (Based on ISO)- Single colour/Composite colour: A colour change has occurred if the density is under 70% (OD: 1.0->0.7).
Process Black: The fading ratio between each colour is within 15%, and A colour change has occurred if the density is under 70% (OD: 1.0->0.7)
8USB operation can only be guaranteed on a PC with pre-installed Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows XP, Windows 2000 (This includes Windows Me, Windows XP and Windows 2000 upgraded from pre-installed Windows 98).
