The Pride of Canon Print Technology

NEW 1.07-inch, 7,680-nozzle High-density Head

The imagePROGRAF W7200/W7250's newly developed head–with a width of

1.07inches–is the jewel in the crown of Canon's print technology. The 7,680 nozzles (1,280 per color) significantly raise total quality, while also providing remarkably fast printout speeds.

Wider Head

Users want ever higher quality and ever faster printouts. However, improvement in quality generally leads to loss of speed, and increased speed has a negative effect on quality. The technological challenge is to enhance both at the same time. At the core of Canon's latest original achievement in this critical area is its MicroFine Droplet Technology,TM made possible by high-precision manufacturing technology for the head, and a completely new ink-firing system.

Ultra-high density

The development of new manufacturing tech- nology for the head drew on Canon's specialty expertise in semi-conductor manufacturing technology, original materials technology, and innovative process technology. The integration of the heater, circuits, and nozzles on a silicon wafer allowed the development of a wider head with semi-conductor levels of precision, while maintaining a high nozzle density of 7,680 nozzles.

Ink-firing mechanism

The consistently uniform, powerful, high-precision dot placement at high speed is derived from a new mechanism developed by Canon. A heater mounted on the end of each nozzle generates a bubble that fires ink straight down, as opposed to horizontally.
