Why the users of Canon large-format printers really should be using genuine manufacturer inks
by Liz Seyi Digital marketing managerWhen you
acquire a Canon wide-format printer, such as one of our Canon
ImagePROGRAF PRO-1000 printers here at Prizma Graphics – or
for that matter, any other machine from the recent ImagePROGRAF PRO, TM or TX
series – there are certain things you can be absolutely sure of. Among those is
the very highest print quality.
One key factor that will always impact on the print results you
achieve, however, will be the inks you use. In this regard, it is
understandable – to a certain degree – why you may be initially drawn to the
various non-genuine inks on the market, including the popular ‘compatible’ or
‘remanufactured’ options.
After all, if these inks have a lower headline price, how likely
is it that many observers will actually notice the difference between the
results of non-genuine and genuine inks?
If you desire peace of mind,
seek out genuine Canon inks
There are many good reasons why, here at Prizma Graphics, we
especially urge the users of Canon
ImagePROGRAF PRO-1000 printers and other
popular devices from this brand – such as the PRO-2100 and PRO-4100
models – to only place their trust in genuine Canon inks.
The purchasers of such Canon large-format printers typically do
so for highly specialised applications, such as the creation of banners, signs,
photographs, posters, fine art prints and/or technical drawings, for which it
is of critical importance to achieve the best possible print quality.
Furthermore, the most recently developed genuine Canon inks
designed for use with today’s Canon wide-format printers incorporate various
innovations to help make these high standards a reality.
The ImagePROGRAF PRO, TX, TM and TA series devices, for
instance, have been designed to use inks that are UV-resistant, capable of
lasting for as long as a century without noticeable fading. These inks can also
stand up to humidity and rain, which makes them an excellent choice for outdoor
applications.
LUCIA: a name synonymous with
the highest print standards
When comparing the specification sheets of Canon wide-format
printers like those in our stock at Prizma Graphics, you may have noticed the
frequent mention of the ‘LUCIA’ name in reference to their inks. These inks, in
themselves, are a great reason to choose a current Canon large-format printer.
Such inks in use across the present Canon printer range include
the LUCIA TD inks of the ImagePROGRAF TX, TM and TA series machines. These
five-colour pigment inks have been specially developed with water-resistant and
uncoated paper types in mind, which helps them to deliver superb-looking print
results on such surfaces. Furthermore, in the case of the matte black ink, a
high level of surface tension prevents the ink droplets from running on the
paper.
As for if your Canon printer is a PRO series model, the LUCIA
PRO ink system used with these devices consists of no fewer than 11 colours, as
well as the Chroma Optimiser. The latter is a clear coat finish covering the
tiny gaps between individual ink droplets, thereby warding off bronzing effects
and creating an even surface. The LUCIA PRO pigment inks themselves, meanwhile,
are characterised by high colour dynamics and print results that show
ultra-fine nuances in the details.
When choosing between genuine
and non-genuine inks, don’t take a chance
Your chances of achieving remarkable print outcomes like the
above are put at risk when you use non-genuine inks with your Canon
large-format printer. These inks have not been tested by Canon, so it is
impossible to be certain about the results that they will produce.
In fact, not only can the print results be underwhelming when
you use non-genuine inks with your Canon device, but in doing so, you may also
heighten the risk of leaking cartridges or your printer malfunctioning.
By contrast, Canon’s own inks are rigorously tested to ensure
they can be depended on to consistently produce the vivid colours, fine lines
and outstanding image quality that users across the world – and across the
industries – associate with Canon. That’s why Canon themselves – and our own
team – strongly urge you to choose genuine Canon inks.
