L-COA PRO Image Processing Engine​

Crystal Fidelity​

Realise how Crystal Fidelity, a Canon-to-Canon workflow solution, enables images captured with EOS Digital Camera two-dimensional expression printouts to look like three-dimensional images without any limitations. The result is a solution that delivers prints of EOS Digital Camera with full structure, clarity and textures.

High-Precision Mechanical Platform​

The PRO-series uses a printer mechanical platform with a highly precise and rigid printer frame capable in suppressing oscillation and shaking during print head scanning. Together with high-precision ink placement with little intercolour discrepancy, these greatly influences the ink ejection accuracy for high quality print reproductions.

Non-Firing Detection and Compensation System​

Equipped with in-built sensor, the non-firing detection and compensation system checks the ink ejection from print head nozzles and when a blockage is detected, another nozzle automatically provides backup. This prevents printing failures due to banding and also reduces head cleaning frequencies.
