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.
Designed for both technical document printing as well as general purpose output applications,
these highly versatile systems go from printing oversized office documents to intricate technical
drawings to posters and back….effortlessly.
Canon’s 5-color Reactive Ink printing systems are ideal for businesses, schools, architects,
engineers, or anyone who wants to print spectacular, full-color presentations, signs, posters,
CAD drawings, GIS maps, and other types of large-format output.
