Ultrahigh-Density Print Heads for Superb Resolution

The print head is the key component of Canon's Bubble Jet printers. To increase output resolution, it is necessary to raise the density of nozzles in the print head by reducing nozzle size. In the BJ F850, for example, we applied ultrahighprecision processing technologies derived from semiconductor production processes to lay two lines of 600-dpi nozzles, separated by a half pitch, resulting in a print head with 256 nozzles per color and an impressive 1,200-dpi resolution. Moreover, by positioning the 256 nozzles of each of the print head's six colors in parallel rows, we were able to incorporate an incredible 1,536 nozzles, meaning that 1,200-dpi resolution, or the output of more than 1.44 million dots per square inch, is possible with a single pass of the print head. Furthermore, the bi-directional printing action of our multiple-nozzle head provides users with photo-quality images at high speeds. A postcard-size photograph, for example, prints in about a minute, while a letter-size image takes around two minutes.
