5-Color: Reactive Ink Printers for Technical Documents and General Use Applications 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. Canon Innovations Inside COMPUTER-AIDED DESIGN (CAD) • Produce intricate drawings with accurate lines as thin as just 0.02mm thick.* • Two Matte Black ink channels maximize output speed for text and line drawings. • Printing support for AutoCAD®, HP-GL/2, and HP RTL Files GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS (GIS) • Print detailed maps and graphs with small fonts that are easy to read on colored backgrounds. • High-resolution 2400 x 1200 dpi output means solid fills, smooth curves, and intricate details. BUSINESS • Assemble spreadsheets, pictures, and graphics onto one page and print them together. • Make your own enlargements. EDUCATION • Create classroom materials and learning aids. • Produce posters for special events, banners for pep rallies, and signs for fund-raisers. 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 increases 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. * Theoretical data based on data resolution. 8
