PgR a revolution in Inkjet
With Canons unique Pigment Reaction (PgR) technology, presentation-quality text, graphics and photographs can now be printed on plain paper, without the dangers of show-through, print curling, bleeding, scuffing or the images washing off with moisture. PgR brings savings to small businesses or workgroups with low-volume colour printing requirements: it consolidates all printing tasks as well as copy, scan and fax functions in a single unit; and it enables the printing of high quality materials on low-cost plain paper.
PgR works by coating the paper with clear ink as it travels towards the print head. Canon Lucia pigment inks bond to the clear ink improving saturation, brightness and ink fixation. The curling, ink bleeding, and show-through sometimes associated with colour inkjet printing is all-but eliminated by the chemical bonding of the inks, resulting in high-contrast, moisture and highlighter-resistant prints.
PIXMA MX7600 uses the PGI-9 (C, M, Y & PBk) Lucia cartridges used by the PIXMA Pro9500, together with two PIXMA MX7600-specific inks PGI-9 Clear for the pre-coating and PGI-7BK as a high capacity, high intensity black for document printing. Compared to traditional pigment inks, Lucia inks offer improved colour density, image stability and durability.
