comps of packaging and collateral materials
Canon’s specially formulated LUCIA pigment
inks have outstanding archival characteristics.
By coating each pigment particle with a special
polymer compound, Canon has increased the
ink’s resistance to fading and scratching. These
specially formulated inks also improve image
quality by reducing graininess and bronzing—
so prints look great from every angle.
ENGINEERED FOR EXCELLENCE
The high-speed L-COA controller channels
output through two one-inch print-heads,
each with 2,560 nozzles per color for a total
of 30,720 nozzles. Superfine 4pl ink droplets
and print resolutions of up to 2400 x 1200 dpi
produce the delicate color gradation and the
high-definition expression required by fine art
applications and professional photographers.
SYSTEM CALIBRATION— SIMPLIFIED
Unlike the complex and time-consuming
calibration normally required in professional
settings, Canon offers a simplified process
that enables easy recalibration back to the
original, optimal factory settings across all
the printers’ media types.

Canon Innovations Inside
FIVE-COLOR DYE/PIGMENT REACTIVE INK
TECHNOLOGY
Canon’s Reactive Ink technology utilizes four
highly colorfast dye inks— Cyan, Magenta,
Yellow, and Black— plus two channels of
pigment-based Matte Black. The inks are
specially formulated to improve both durability
and clarity of the image. The Matte Black ink is
chemically engineered to react with the Cyan
ink to prevent “bleeding” at the border
between color and black output. This produces
clearer text and sharper lines—especially
when printing fine lines and small text fonts on
colored backgrounds. The ink’s chemistry also
improves adhesion to the media so images
are more durable than when printed with
conventional inks.
TWO MATTE BLACK INK CHANNELS
Though these printers utilize five colors of
ink, Canon has dedicated a sixth ink channel
to Matte Black ink. This effectively doubles
the rate at which most text and line drawings
can be output.
LOW TOTAL COST OF OPERATION
Canon’s imagePROGRAF printers are built for
low-cost operation. The Economy Print Mode
significantly reduces ink consumption while the
long-life print-heads deliver maximum reliability
to help keep maintenance costs down.
