Description
The Canon iX6780 is an A3+ inkjet printer that clinics and diagnostic centers use to print X-ray, CT, MRI, CR and ultrasound images on blue PET inkjet film. Paired with DICOM printing software, it connects to PACS workflows and prints radiology films without chemicals or a darkroom. With a maximum resolution of 9600 × 2400 dpi and support for 14×17 film, it is an affordable alternative to a dedicated thermal imager for routine radiology output. Unison Bio-Medical supplies the Canon iX6780 together with compatible medical dry film.
Why Choose an Inkjet-Based Setup?
Not every facility needs an expensive thermal imager. The Canon iX6780 suits you when you want:
- A lower upfront investment than a dedicated dry imager
- Flexible printing across different media
- Simple installation without complex infrastructure
- A practical step up from outsourced or wet-processed film
Works with 14×17 Blue Film
The printer supports 14×17 blue film, the standard format for X-ray imaging, and A3+ media in general. Use it with our medical dry film, a blue PET inkjet film made for Epson and Canon printers, for consistent grayscale and dark blacks. It also works with clear medical film.
DICOM and PACS Integration
The printer becomes a radiology printer when you add compatible DICOM printing software. With the software installed, you can:
- Connect to PACS systems
- Print DICOM-based images directly
- Output CT, MRI, ultrasound and X-ray images
The result is a smooth digital-to-film workflow for everyday diagnostics.
Dry Imaging: No Chemicals, No Darkroom
- No chemical processing
- No darkroom setup
- Less complex maintenance
- Faster installation and a cleaner working environment
This makes the setup a practical choice for clinics moving away from traditional wet film systems.
Print Quality for Daily Radiology Use
- High-resolution printing, up to 9600 × 2400 dpi
- Clear grayscale reproduction
- Consistent output for reporting
- Well suited to routine imaging, documentation and diagnostic reference
Applications
- CT scans. Clear grayscale for cross-sectional images.
- CR (computed radiography). Reliable output for digital X-ray systems.
- MRI. Smooth gradients for soft-tissue images.
- Ultrasound reports. Clean, readable prints.
How It Fits Your Workflow
- The imaging device generates the image (X-ray, CT, MRI).
- The image is sent through DICOM printing software.
- The software processes and converts it for printing.
- The image prints on 14×17 blue film or compatible media.
Inkjet vs. Thermal X-Ray Printing

|---|---|---|
| Initial cost | Low | High |
| Running cost | Low | Medium |
| Image quality | High | Diagnostic-grade |
| Setup | Easy | More advanced |
| Best suited for | Clinics, diagnostic centers | Hospitals |
The iX6780 is a smart entry-level alternative to thermal radiology systems. For high-volume hospital work, see our medical thermal printer.
Canon iX6780 vs. Epson L1300
| Feature | Canon iX6780 | Epson L1300 |
|---|---|---|
| Max resolution | 9600 × 2400 dpi | 5760 × 1440 dpi |
| Media size | A3+ | A3+ |
| Ink system | Standard inkjet | Refillable ink tank |
| Connectivity | USB | USB |
| Film | Blue PET inkjet, clear medical film | Blue film, 14×17 |
Both work with our medical dry film and DICOM printing software. Choose the Canon for the higher maximum resolution, or see our Epson L1300 if a refillable ink tank system suits your running costs better. Confirm the Canon’s ink system before publishing that row (see the notes below).
