Part 2: Product Specifications

BJC-7100

1.2 Features

1.The new 600dpi BJ cartridge provides high-resolution printing at up to 1200 (H) × 600 (V) dpi when using the exclusive printer driver.

There are three types of new BJ cartridge: BC-60, BC-62e Photo, and BC-61. (Note that the BJ cartridge configuration differs according to the country.)

2.The printer is equipped with two BJ cartridges.

The BC-60 is normally installed in the printer and either the BC-62e Photo or BC-61 is installed as required for the type of printing to be carried out.

3.The print process uses an ink optimizer to enable maximum water resistance when printing on plain paper (and envelopes).

In this new printing process, the surface of the paper is coated with the ink optimizer prior to being printed. The ink optimizer is discharged from the special BJ head of the BC-60.

4.The straight manual insertion path allows printing on a wide variety of papers.

In addition, the automatic platen-head adjustment mechanism obviates the need for levers for selecting papers and platen-head gap.

5.The printer performs high speed print; HQ: 5.8ppm, HS: 7.6ppm (BK; PC magazine)

6.The printer is equipped with an ink-out detection function based on the conduction of static electricity.

An electrical signal is input to the ink path in the BJ cartridge. This signal is picked up by the electrode on the carriage, and the signal level is used to determine the existence or absence of ink.

7.The printer is equipped with an IEEE1284-compatible bidirectional parallel interface. This interface is compatible with nibble mode and ECP mode.

8.The built-in control mode is the Canon extended mode.

The host computer sends print signals in Canon extended mode, generated by the special printer driver.

9.The printer is supplied with Windows 3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98 special printer driver.

10.The printer is powered by an AC adaptor, installed by manufucturing.

The ink optimizer printing process can be used in both monochrome and color printing when the printer driver is set to plain paper (including postcards and envelopes) in all but Draft mode. It cannot be used if the driver is set to other than plain paper (special papers and film, etc.).

The ink-out detection mechanism confirms that the BJ cartridge is out of ink. The mechanism does not measure the amount of ink remaining in the cartridge and therefore does not necessarily indicate an error at the point where print quality deteriorates as the ink runs out.

One of the main features of the QY8-1360-000 is its precision engineering, which allows for a high level of accuracy in ink application. This print head utilizes a micro-nozzle technology that enhances the distribution of ink onto the paper, minimizing the potential for blurriness or color bleeding. The micro-nozzles work in conjunction with a sophisticated ink delivery system, ensuring that colors are produced as intended by the original digital file.

Another key characteristic of the QY8-1360-000 is its ability to support a wide range of media types, ensuring flexibility for various printing projects. Whether it’s glossy photo paper, fine art paper, or even canvas, this print head can accommodate different textures and finishes, making it ideal for both professional photographers and graphic designers.

Additionally, this print head is designed to achieve high resolution printing, with capabilities that can reach up to 4800 x 1200 dpi. Such high resolution allows for exceptional detail and color accuracy, which is particularly critical when producing photographic prints. The print head can also handle a broad color gamut, facilitating rich and vivid color outputs that elevate the overall quality of printed materials.

Technologically, the QY8-1360-000 incorporates Canon’s FINE (Full-Photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering) technology. This innovative technology allows for the quick heat-up and ejection of ink, ensuring rapid print speeds without compromising quality. By combining speed with precision, it significantly enhances productivity in a professional setting.

In summary, the Canon QY8-1360-000 print head is an essential component for anyone seeking exceptional print quality and versatility in their printing endeavors. With precision engineering, support for multiple media types, high resolution output, and advanced FINE technology, it represents a significant advancement in Canon’s commitment to delivering outstanding imaging solutions. Whether used in a studio, print shop, or home office, the QY8-1360-000 enhances the quality and efficiency of printing workflows, making it a vital tool for creative professionals.
