The name Canon carries such meanings as “criterion or standard of judgment.” It effectively captures Canon's corporate spirit, which aims to set a global standard for advanced technologies and service while becoming a criterion in the industry to which others will aspire.
Despite several logo modifications since 1935, the strong character reflected in the sweeping inward stroke of the "C"
has remained intact from the day that the company was founded. Striving for consistency in communication since day
one has greatly contributed to the worldwide trust that the Canon brand enjoys today.

Canon Name
The corporate philosophy of Canon is Kyosei. A concise definition of this word would be
“Living and working together for the common good”
True global companies must foster good relations, not only with their customers and the communities in which they operate, but also with nations and the environment. They must also bear the
responsibility for the impact of their activities on society.
For this reason, Canon’s goal is to contribute to global prosperity and the well-being of humankind, which will lead to continuing
growth and bring the world close to achieving Kyosei

• Crisp clean monotone output
• Less metamerism by utilizing Gray and Photo Gray inks, and reduces the number of inks needed to match colors.
• Minimizes the use of photo ink to reproduce delicate gray gradation. This prevents color shift caused by the heavy use of color inks and realizes a neutral gray balance that accurately reflects the image.

1). High-performance multi-sensor• Light source adjustment technology• FINE print head with stable ink firing makes average delta E under 2.0
2) Simple workflow of calibration• A calibration for one media type is reflected in adjustments for all the printers media • Calibration process is complete within 10-15 minutes
The built-in calibration creates a more stable, predictable printing platform on which superior results can be consistently achieved.
Built-in Calibration
Effects of calibration
1. Reduces color differences between multiple printers
2. Reduces color differences resulting from print heads replacement
3. Reduces color differences caused by environmental factors and effects of humidity
Calibration is recommended when ...
1. Printer is initially installed
2. Print head is replaced
3. Color tones are found to be different
Built-in Calibration
FINE - Full-photolithography Ink-jet Nozzle Engineering –Provides for high-resolution, smooth gradation, and reduction of graininess. At the same time, its high-drive frequency also contributes to high-speed printing.
2,560 nozzles per color for a total of 30,720 nozzles
• This technical improvement enhances high-speed printing and print head durability.
Produces a 4pl ink droplet
• The superfine 4pl ink droplets beautifully produce delicate color gradation and high–definition expression required for printing text and thin lines without graininess.
