Canon Lifts the Veil on Its Newest UV Curable Ink |
Canon has released details about a new UV curable ink that, the company, claims, will transform wide-format printing. The ink gels instantly upon contact with a surface and printers using it will fill a price niche in the mid-range that is currently empty. The ink will be used in wide-format printers equipped with Canon’s also new piezoelectric printhead tech. The two systems, the printhead and the UV curable ink release system are independent from each other, which, according to Canon, enhances the accuracy of the print job. At the same time, the new ink system lowers costs because it achieves the same quality print with smaller amounts of ink. Printers using the new ink system will be from the interior décor and signage segment, with print runs of around 10,000 sq m annually. |
