Canon Rolls Out 'Solid' Printer

New Wide-format Printers

The company has also rolled out a new line of wide-format printers—the imagePROGRAF W2200, W7200 and W7250.

"In the ink-jet business, we have been a player for quite a while," boasted Marketing Director Amit Bagchi, claiming that the new products would cement this reputation.

The imagePROGRAFs have a large 1.06˝ head that carries six high-infiltration inks: CMYK, plus photo cyan and photo magenta. With each color connected to 1,280 nozzles, the 1˝ head carries a total of 7,680 nozzles for a 1200 dpi resolution.
