Five Colour Dye/Pigment Reactive Ink Technology
Canon’s Reactive Ink technology utilizes four highly colourfast 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 colour and and black output. This produces clearer text and sharper lines – especially when printing fine lines and small text fonts on colour backgrounds. The ink’s chemistry also improves adhesion to the media so images are more durable than when printed with conventional inks.
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.
