The Pride of Canon Print Technology
1.07-inch, 7,680-nozzle High-density Head
NEW
The imagePROGRAF W7200/W7250's newly developed head–with a width of
1.07 inches–is the jewel in the crown of Canon's print technology. The 7,680
nozzles (1,280 per color) significantly raise total quality, while also providing
remarkably fast printout speeds.

Users want ever higher quality and ever faster printouts. However, improvement
in quality generally leads to loss of speed, and increased speed has a negative
effect on quality. The technological challenge is to enhance both at the same
time. At the core of Canon's latest original achievement in this critical area is its
MicroFine Droplet Technology,
TM
made possible by high-precision manufacturing
technology for the head, and a completely new ink-firing system.
Ultra-high density
The development of new manufacturing tech-
nology for the head drew on Canon's specialty
expertise in semi-conductor manufacturing
technology, original materials technology, and
innovative process technology. The integration
of the heater, circuits, and nozzles on a silicon
wafer allowed the development of a wider
head with semi-conductor levels of precision,
while maintaining a high nozzle density of
7,680 nozzles.
Nozzle
Ink-firing mechanism
The consistently uniform, powerful, high-precision
dot placement at high speed is derived from a
new mechanism developed by Canon. A heater
mounted on the end of each nozzle generates
a bubble that fires ink straight down, as opposed
to horizontally.
