S. $1 Canon Hardware FINE Technology: The difference is in the details The same technology that goes into the design of semi-conductors goes into Canon print head technology. [. . . ] This creates a more stable, predictable printing platform on which superior results can be consistently achieved. Perhaps the best way to describe the impact this technology can have on your business -- is to give you a scenario for consideration. Think of a photographer who has produced a large format portrait for a customer, a designer working for a corporate client, or an artist producing and oversized museum quality piece. Each has worked hard on their piece giving careful attention to every detail, the color and resolution are just right -- and the print is perfect. Then a few months go by and their customer wants to order additional copies -- perhaps for family members or a collector. This may sound easy enough, however, time and environmental conditions can effect any printer's performance and color reproduction. When this happens it could be difficult to reproduce a print that is a perfect match to the original made only a few months earlier. If you work in a busy multi-printer environment, the problem can be even more complex. This is when Canon's unique calibration function can make all the difference. To help ensure the best results, Canon has created a solution that simplifies sophisticated color science with a highly accurate sensor that scans and reads a calibration chart, makes calculations for color density, light and media and then automatically applies any necessary adjustments across all of the printer's media profiles. The profiles applied have been specifically optimized by Canon to address the unique requirements of printing large format images. Free-layout function: This feature allows nesting of multiple documents, of different formats onto one page for printing. Users can choose desired pages from documents created with various office applications including Powerpoint, Excel, Word, and graphics applications, then layout, edit and print them together as a single job. (PC only ­ Mactinosh includes Autolayout). Integration with Canon imageRUNNER device: Seamlessly connects an imagePROGRAF printer with an imageRUNNER device with Universal Send to create enlargements of existing hardcopy documents at the touch of a button. Ambient Light Color Correction Function With Kyuanos Technology Canon Kyuanos Technology Kyuanos Technology is Canon's proprietary high-precision color matching engine for advanced graphic arts applications. It manages color by compensating for the differences in color performance which is common when you're working with various input and output devices such as digital still cameras, scanners, monitors, and printers. Kyuanos is included in Vista, the latest generation of Microsoft's Windows operating system. HDI Driver for AutoCAD++ Included with imagePROGRAF Corporate and CAD printers, the HDI Driver converts line drawing data directly from AutoCAD for accurate renderings and faster processing speed. + Operating Systems: Windows 98SE/Me/2000/XP/2003 Server, Vista, Macintosh OS 9. 1/X/10. 2/10. 3/10. 4 (Power PC or Intel). ++ For AutoCAD or AutoCAD LT 2000, 2000i, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007. · WORKFLOW Canon Software Technology Software Solutions: Advanced technology that makes work simple As sophisticated as the technology is, Canon software is all about simplicity. Canon's intelligently designed systems feature a number of integrated tools and automatic settings that streamline workflow, improve efficiency and expand the user's capabilities. In other words, Canon software technology helps you do more, in less time -- easily. Canon's software solutions integrate seamlessly with imagePROGRAF large-format printer systems. See individual printer specifications for the software included with each model. [. . . ] Digital Photo Front-Access: makes it faster and easier to select, edit and retouch your digital photo files. TECHNICAL DOCUMENTS CAD and Architectural, Engineering and Construction FINE Technology: enhances resolution, creates smooth gradations and reduces graininess. Reactive Ink Technology: prevents dot gain and ink spread to ensure clear text, smooth curves and sharp fine lines on any media, even on non-gloss technical papers. HDI Driver: converts line drawing data directly from AutoCAD for accurate renderings and faster processing speed. * Not all technologies are available in all products - visit www. canon. com for more information.
