Canon Innovations Inside
ARCHIVAL LUCIA INKS
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.
