After refining the core mechanisms used in inkjet printing, Canon has continued to develop new ideas and proprietary technologies. At the heart of these innovations is FINE, CanonÕs key technology. Its ink ejection system and print head manufacturing technology have helped deliver major gains in image quality, tonal gradation and image stability. Small ink droplets and highly accurate ejection are essential for producing outstanding print results.

With conventional ejection systems, the finer the ink droplets, the more easily they can be affected by airflow from print head movement and changes in ink viscosity caused by temperature variations. This can lead to uneven ejection volume and inconsistent ink dot placement. CanonÕs FINE print head is designed to push out all ink beneath the heater in a single ejection for efficient performance. Ink droplet speed is more than 1.5 times faster than conventional systems, reducing the impact of airflow disturbances and improving placement accuracy.
