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 Think Tank System 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.

BJ Direct/PictBridge††† for The iP4000R printer incorporates Camera Direct, which supports both Bubble Jet Direct Fast Direct Printing 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†††, whether it is a Canon or any other brand that supports the PictBridge standard.

One of the standout characteristics of the Canon IP4000R is its capability to produce professional-quality prints. With a maximum print resolution of 4800 x 1200 dpi, users can expect exceptionally sharp images and text. This level of detail is particularly advantageous for photographers and graphic designers who need precise color reproduction.

The IP4000R employs Canon's advanced FINE technology, which utilizes a patented print head that includes over 3,000 nozzles. This ensures consistent ink delivery and reduced droplet size, resulting in smoother gradients and more accurate colors. In addition, the printer supports a variety of media types, including glossy paper, photo paper, and envelopes, catering to all printing needs.

Another notable feature of the Canon IP4000R is its versatile connectivity options. It includes both USB and Ethernet ports, allowing users to print from a single computer or share the printer over a network. This wireless capability is particularly useful in environments where multiple users need access to the printer without the hassle of wired connections.

The printer is also equipped with direct disc printing functionality. This feature enables users to print directly onto compatible CD/DVD surfaces, offering a professional touch for personal or business projects. Additionally, the IP4000R has a built-in card slot for printing directly from memory cards, allowing for easy and quick printing of photos without needing to connect to a computer.

In terms of speed, the Canon IP4000R is efficient, capable of printing black documents at speeds up to 25 pages per minute and color documents at around 17 pages per minute. This makes it suitable for users who require a fast output, whether for personal use or in a busy office setting.

The Canon IP4000R also prioritizes user-friendliness. Its intuitive control panel and easy-to-navigate menu system simplify the printing process, while the automatic duplexing feature allows for double-sided printing, reducing paper consumption and overall operating costs.

Overall, the Canon IP4000R stands out due to its quality, versatility, and user-centric design. Its combination of advanced technologies and practical features make it an excellent choice for anyone needing a reliable and high-quality inkjet printer. Whether for professional use or everyday printing tasks, the IP4000R delivers outstanding results, setting a benchmark in its class.
