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. Working at near microscopic levels, the imagePROGRAF printer's 1.07 inch print heads are manufactured with Canon's proprietary FINE (Full-photolithography Ink-jet Nozzle Engineering) technology. This unique process enables Canon to manufacture high density print-heads ideal for precision printing with fine details, smooth gradations and reduced graininess. Each imagePROGRAF printer's print head has 15,360 nozzles. This remarkably high number of nozzles enables imagePROGRAF printers to eject ink faster and more accurately. Not only does this technology result in faster printing, it also reduces wear on the print head, which improves reliability, longevity and cost efficiency. So how does FINE technology benefit you? The answer is in the details. Imagine producing images with incredible resolution - up to 2400 x 1200 dpi - with finer detail and smoother gradations. The ink droplets are so fine (four picoliter) you can produce delicate color gradations without graininess and the high-definition expression necessary to capture subtle details, small fonts and thin lines. L-COA Processor: Uncommonly fast and accurate At the heart of every imagePROGRAF printer is Canon's innovative L-COA (Largeformat printer COmmon Architecture) processor delivering incomparable speed and accuracy. The L-COA processor intelligently processes print data and directs the highprecision, high-density print heads to deposit ink, ensuring image clarity and color accuracy - even for complex graphics and color-rich photographic images. When you think about the enormous amounts of data involved in large-format printing, the speed with which the data is processed, and the precision and efficiency with which the processor coordinates all of the system variables, you can really appreciate the power of L-COA processing. High-Capacity Ink Tanks 330 to 700 ml capacity tanks supply ink to the print head via tubes Platen (Document Table) Multiple holes on the surface facilitate a suction system to ensure that paper is held firmly in place during printing Carriage Transports the print head horizontally. Incorporates not only the print head, but also a sensor to read print results, and a cutter Print Head Ejects ink to form an image.
