Precision Printing: High-Density PF-04 Print Head
Engineered for speed and advanced image production, this printer boasts Canon's latest print-head
technology to lay down ink with unprecedented speed and accuracy. The new PF-04 print head incorporates
a new nozzle shape to reduce satellite ink, producing cleaner lines and text, and minimizing mist. The high-
precision, high-density print head, with a total of 15,360 nozzles, lays down 4 picoliter-size ink droplets that
produce sharp detail and excellent image quality. The result is consistently accurate 2400 x 1200 dpi output
with fine lines that are accurate to ±0.10% and as thin as 0.02mm.

This feature regulates the use of all inks to produce quick check plots while minimizing the cost per print.
Reactive Ink System
Ideal for technical applications, Canon's breakthrough 5-color dye/pigment Reactive Ink technology utilizes
four highly colorfast dye inks for producing bold, expressive color, plus two channels of matte black ink for
printing precise lines, smooth curves, and small text on technical and office documents. Now with new
magenta ink for richer, more vivid reds, this ink system is ideal for both GIS drawings and posters. These
Canon inks provide superior adhesion to media, scratch and marker resistance, and ensure minimal
"bleeding" between colors and text. Even small text printed on colored backgrounds or on uncoated
technical papers is crisp and legible.
HDI Driver
With the Canon HDI Driver for AutoCAD application, the driver creates a vector graphical representation of
the printed data. Here, points are defined and a curved line is calculated mathematically in order to achieve
precision. The HDI Driver creates a graphically accurate drawing of the printed data.
