Toner particles of each color are first transferred to the Intermediate Transfer Belt from the drum cartridge. When the Intermediate Transfer Belt has all the color toners on its surface, it will transfer the toner onto the paper as it passes under it. The paper remains straight and flat throughout the entire process. Straight paper path lets you choose the right output for your needs. Automatic Image Refinement (AIR) This proprietary smoothing technology from Canon is designed to ensure crisp color resolution between and among different colors in a given print job. By adding or subtracting pixels from the edges of each of the four print image colors (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black), it works with the C LBP 460PS's scanner to help to create crisper and more realistic color output. New Toner Technology Previous generations of color laser printers need a silicon oil cartridge in the machine to ensure that the toner particles of separate colors would combine smoothly together. A new toner technology in the C LBP 460PS eliminates the need for silicon oil cartridges. The spherical toner particles contained a small bead of wax inside. The Intermediate Transfer Belt applies toner particles to the paper and the paper moves on to the fusing unit where heat is applied and toner particles are pressed together. When the toner particles are crushed, the wax contained within is evenly distributed. There is just enough wax to ensure that when the color particles are mixed together, the result is smooth, bright, high-quality color and oil free output. Canon Advanced Printing Technology (CAPT) This unique technology increases productivity and overall ease-of-use. CAPT also reduces the amount of on-board memory required for printing to just a fraction of that of used in conventional laser printers.
