Canon's imagePrograf iPF820 has scooped an award from Buyers' Lab Inc (BLI) for its multi-purpose printing functionality.

The iPF820 model was recognised for its ability to fulfil applications for both the technical and graphic arts sectors with a 'Pick' award.

BLI said it also acknowledged that the imagePrograf's economy mode was around 50% more productive than rival machines.

The printer, a model in a range of large-format imagePrografs, is designed for architectural and construction-related applications.

It is targeted at companies carrying out mid- to high-volume colour technical document work and features a single input roll configuration.

David Sweetnam, BLI European lab and research manager, said the imagePrograf iPF820 "displayed very good print quality across a wide-range of applications", from maps and architectural plans, to photograph printing.
