Fast Direct Printing
Fast Performance
In order to achieve the fastest possible print speeds while maintaining ultra-high print
quality, ink must be ejected simultaneously from a large number of closely positioned
nozzles. High density placement of small, short nozzles reduces the number of passes
necessary for printing and increases head drive frequency. Here again, Canon avoids the
manufacturing methods used by competitors, instead employing integral formation via
photolithography to allow for microscopic nozzles with sub-micron precision. Bonding
and other manufacturing processes used by competitors make it impossible for them to
achieve the nozzle size, quantity and density of nozzles produced by FINE, so while
adequate quality can be achieved with slow multiple passes, Canon’s combination of
speed and quality cannot be matched.
Canon’s exclusive Think Tank System helps to control printing costs
*
, an important
consideration. This efficient system employs individual ink tanks for each color so that
users replace only the color that runs out, rather than an entire cartridge containing
unused ink. In addition, a unique low-ink sensor alerts users as ink levels become lower
(15%, 10% and 5%), so they can be prepared with a new tank as needed.
The iP4000R printer incorporates Camera Direct, which supports both Bubble Jet Direct
and PictBridge technology. This means that users can expect fast, high-quality direct
printing when they connect to a compatible digital camera or DV camcorder
