Because having control over the production of our inks gives us greater control over the results. the photography, proofing or fine art fields, you'll appreciate the smoother gradations, sharper details and finer overall image quality produced by these inks. LUCIA inks are formulated to minimize graininess, improve scratch-resistance and prevent "bronzing" (that unwanted sheen that occurs when viewing output from different angles and/or under light), while enhancing color-fastness and fade resistance. Canon LUCIATM Inks: Engineered to improve print quality G ink GY mixture Canon Reactive Ink Technology: When precision is paramount When precision is critical, Canon's breakthrough 5-color dye/pigment Reactive Ink technology makes all the difference. Canon imagePROGRAF Corporate and CAD series printers feature an ink technology developed specifically for printing detailed business documents and engineering applications (CAD/GIS) with fine lines, small text, detailed graphs and tables. This unique formulation improves the ink's adhesion to the media and minimizes color "bleeding". The secret is in the chemistry of the ink. When the black ink intersects with a colored area (for example words printed on a colored background) the black and cyan inks cause a chemical reaction that prevents the black from bleeding into the colors. As a result, you get clearer text, smoother curves and sharp fine lines, even on uncoated technical papers. What's more Canon Reactive Inks also improve scratch and marker resistance so prints are more durable than when printed with conventional dye inks.

If you're in Color ink Matte black ink Chemical reaction Black doloplet with minimal diffusion Better Adhesion And Less Bleeding With Canon Reactive Inks Auto-switching technology: Always the right black ink for the media All imagePROGRAF printers include multiple types of black ink. By using different types of black ink, better results can be achieved on a wider variety of media types. A pigment matte black ink may print better on matte papers, while a dye black may print better on glossy media. So how do you know which is the right black ink to use?You don't need to, because imagePROGRAF printers are able to recognize the type of media being used and will automatically select the right black ink!What's more, because all ink types are online at all times, there is no wasted time or ink when switching. The system automatically picks the correct black ink so you always get the best quality printing possible on each type of media. Corporate and CAD Series C M Y BK MBK MBK Graphic Arts Series R S-Series G B C PC M PM Y BK GY PGY MBK C PC M PM Y BK GY MBK INK TECHNOLOGY Workflow Solutions Canon Printer Driver+ Canon Printer Driver for Windows® and Macintosh® optimizes printing of high-quality, large-format prints by incorporating simple page setup options, one-click borderless printing, color settings and more. The Easy Settings mode is just that -- easy. Operators simply choose from a variety of application targets such as photo enlargement, poster making or maps to rapidly print standard jobs at the optimal value for the media and type of image being printed. If you need more control over print settings or for multiple jobs that require different output options, the Advanced Settings mode enables user-friendly manual operation. When it comes to workflow Canon's goal is simple -- to give you easy and effective ways to produce beautiful prints while improving productivity. The Canon Printer Driver makes the following functions available with the ease of one-click operation: · · Borderless printing: Print large-format photographs, posters and spreadsheets -- edge to edge. Free-layout function: This feature allows nesting of multiple documents, of different formats onto one page for printing.
