Canon's innovative color bubble jet printers lead the way in high-quality output


In 1977, Canon researcher Ichiro Endo accidentally touched a needle full of ink with a hot soldering iron. The ink inside heated up suddenly, increased in volume, and spurted forth. That discovery by Endo, now Canon's Director of Product Development, led to the development of the ink jet printer.

Their quiet operation and energy-saving features make them a natural part of the modern office environment. Even late-night printing can be performed free of worries.A significant cost-saving feature of the Color Bubble Jet line is the use of an independent ink tank system that allows users to replace individual colors of ink rather than an entire cartridge. "In most situations, the four ink colors: cyan, magenta, yellow and black - are almost never used up at the same rate," Lau says. "Typically, yellow is used at nearly ten times the rate of cyan. Yet, when one color of an integrated cartridge runs out, you have to throw away up to hundreds of pages worth of the other colors. The Color Bubble Jet's independent ink tank system means no wastage and much lower ink costs."In recent years, Canon has been an international leader in transforming ink jet printing from a low-resolution technique to an affordable, high-quality technology suitable for business applications. Partly as a result of Canon's innovations, sales of ink jet printers have soared past their laser counterparts. According to International Data Corporation (IDC), approximately 12.4 million ink jet printers were sold in the United States in 1998 versus 2.9 million laser printers. That figure is projected to jump to 22 million in 2001."Our new product line is ideal for corporate use," says Eugenio Lau, Marketing Manager for Canon's Printer Products Group in Miami. "Our Color Bubble Jet printers can be connected to a network with an optional print server, or be used for printing reports, presentations, newsletters and many other applications right from the desktop. Our Color Bubble Jet printers are ideal for printing high-quality full-color materials for sales meetings."* Drop Modulation Technology for faster, high-resolution printing.My big soldering gun heats up fast and has a nice storage case, but when I have to deal with small electrical applications, the big gun is more of a liability than an asset. Hobbico's 30W and 60W soldering irons are perfect pegboard-size tools that have enough muscle to handle most ordinary soldering tasks because of their mica heating units. Each iron has an octagonal shield that prevents it from rolling off the bench, and the 5-foot-long electrical cord lets you reach all around your projects. The irons' large, round, heat-resistant grips protect your hands while you solder, and an included sturdy metal safety stand protects the workbench top when you need to set the iron down. Hobbico includes a regular and a chisel-point tip for the 60W iron and has replacement tips for both irons. -Craig TrachtenFor more information about our products, please visit us at www.canoniatinamerica.com"If one of the inks runs out midway through a printing job, the Color Bubble Jet printer simply stops," Lau says. "You can then replace that ink tank and resume printing without having to start over again. This is a time-saving feature, especially if you're on a tight deadline."According 'to Lau. "All our new printers have USB and parallel ports so they can be used with computers running with Windows or the Mac operating system," he says."Our new product line is ideal for corporate use," says Eugenio Lau, Marketing Manager for Canon's Printer Products Group in Miami.

Our Color Bubble Jet printers are ideal for printing high-quality full-color materials for sales meetings."Once the ink tank is nearly empty, a dot counter ink level detector monitors the number of ink dots actually printed. When the threshold for that ink is reached, a warning is displayed on the monitor screen.One of the reasons the Color Bubble Jet line is able to provide high output speeds while maintaining image clarity is Canon's Drop Modulation Technology. This technology allows the printer to output half-size drops in areas where greater detail is required, such as printing the image of a person's face. On the other hand, in "high-density" areas of the image, such as a dark background, the Color Bubble Jet uses larger drops of ink, thus improving printing speed.Ink tanks on the Color Bubble Jet printers are transparent, allowing users to visually inspect them to see if they're running low. In addition, these Canon printers also have optical systems that monitor the amount of ink remaining by measuring the light reflected from prisms in each tank.* Drop Modulation Technology for faster, high-resolution printing.In recent years, Canon has been an international leader in transforming ink jet printing from a low-resolution technique to an affordable, high-quality technology suitable for business applications.

These products are available throughout Latin America and the Caribbean through their authorized* An optional scanner cartridge that allows the printer to also serve as a scanning device. This option is available for the BJC-50, BJC-85, BJC-2000, BJC-2100, BJC-3000, BJC-6100 and BJC-8200.Three decades later, Canon remains a leader in printing technologies with its innovative line of Color Bubble Jet printers, which deliver photo-quality lull-color output in an office setting, at home or on the road.A significant cost-saving feature of the Color Bubble Jet line is the use of an independent ink tank system that allows users to replace individual colors of ink rather than an entire cartridge.
