® imagePROGRAF LARGE-FORMAT PRINTING Printing Solutions Big Ideas for Large-Format CANON INNOVATION IN EVERY SOLUTION
Canon Technologies Innovation: At the core of every Canon solution What makes one large-format printer a better fit for your needs than another? At Canon, we believe innovation makes the difference. We put our most advanced technology into every imagePROGRAF system — so that you can get the highest quality out — with printers that not only deliver brilliant color and exceptional detail, but also help you to be more efficient, productive and profitable.

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.
Calibration: For when consistency is critical The newest imagePROGRAF Graphic Arts printers are uniquely equipped to overcome the effects of time and environment with the built-in ability to calibrate back to the original, optimal factory settings and then apply any necessary adjustments across all of the printer’s media types in just minutes! This creates a more stable, predictable printing platform on which superior results can be consistently achieved.
Canon Ink Technology The technology that goes into the ink you use makes a big difference in the results you get. Through advanced chemical engineering Canon specifically formulates all of the inks used in Canon large-format systems for optimum print performance. Why? Because having control over the production of our inks gives us greater control over the results.
Auto-switching technology: Always the right black ink for the media All imagePROGRAF printers include multiple types of black ink. By using different types of black ink, better results can be achieved on a wider variety of media types. A pigment matte black ink may print better on matte papers, while a dye black may print better on glossy media.
