Welcome and thank you for purchasing Canon's Creative Craft Bubble Jet Media. Here, at Canon, we would like to share a few important pointers with you to ensure you get the best quality result with your Canon products. Many users perceived that good quality print-outs come solely from the printer. However, there are 5 other main components, when put together, will give you the best quality prints you ever dream of. Printers This is your hardware with all the technologies packed inside this marvelous little machine. High-end Canon printers like the BJC-8200 comes in 1200 x 1200 dpi for serious colour graphic/photo prints. Canon has also developed Drop Modulation Technology (DMT) which is capable of ejecting both small and large ink droplets, instead of just one uniform size. Smaller droplets means smoother prints as it will fill up the gaps left behind by large ink droplets. What's more, the small droplets are 3 times smaller than the conventional droplets, all adding to the improved quality of colour graphics and photographic output. The BJC-8200 employs the new MicroFine Droplet Technology produces microscophic droplets in high resolution, multi gradation and image stability. With these great features, you are able to produce images with "Zero-Graininess". All these hardware are developed and ready to give you the challenges ahead. Although it is ready to serve the many hungry users, it does not work alone. It needs the following components to achieve your desired results. Inks Try using our Photo Ink and you'll be truly amazed at how vibrant the colour reproduction is. What makes the colour so vibrant lies in the special colour tonage itself where each colour ink can produce up to 33 levels of colour tone instead of 1 which is often found in other standard colours. This feature coupled with our specially designed drivers will better enhance the print quality. (see Drivers below). You can also print bright contrasting cartoon characters, luminous signages, etc with our revolutionary fluorescent ink. Canon ink cartridges are constructed in a way which is convenient to use especially with the new drop in loading system with the BJC-2100SP. We have also come up with individual replaceable with Think-Tank Technology found in printers as low as the BJC-3000. Water resistant inks are also made available on the BJC-7100 with our P-POP Technology to avoid any water smudges on the prints.

You can choose from High Resolution or Matt Coated Paper for simple graphics. Canon's Glossy Photo Paper will set the rest apart when it comes to photo quality printing and of course you can choose to print T-Shirt by using our T-Shirt transfer paper. The types of media selected will give you different result with true to life vivid colours which is especially noticeable with Canon High Gloss Film. Drivers Many of us do not realise what a driver can do. Your print quality also depend heavily on the type of drivers you're using. This is why all Canon printer drivers are specially designed with customers' interest in mind. You can choose from the various function available from our drivers. Image Optimiser has the smoothening effect to ensure no jaggedness in your lettering and images. This technology optimises low resolution screen images, e.g. those downloaded from the web, and print them out at the maximum resolution supported by the printer. Notice the smoothening effect on the curve of the letter "B" Image colour matching will match the colours you see in your monitor screen. You can also do a test print, head cleaning and demonstration at a click of your mouse. The automatic cartridge detection will tell you when to replace a cartridge. Software The software that you're printing from does have an effect on the final print-out. This is because not every software is suitable for graphics printing. A designing software will give better resolution and colour reproduction than a word processor software. Therefore, to maximise the printer capability, graphics printing should be done using designing software.
