Dual Color Gamut Technology
Dual Color Gamut Processing Technology improves colour
faithfulness by switching the processing method depending
on whether the original is a photo
or a document and whether the
copy paper is photo paper or plain
paper. This technology makes it
almost impossible to perceive
colour differences between the
original and the copy and gives
the copy rich gradation.
Experience the ultimate performance in professional
photography with the newest edition to Canon’s EOS
System, the PIXMA Pro9000 Printer. Combined with
Canon’s EOS cameras, lenses and flashes, the PIXMA
Pro9000 allows you to optimize Canon’s technology
with impressive, high-quality output.
