BACKGROUND ART

An ink-jet recording apparatus is usually equipped with an ink-jet recording head which is mounted on a carriage and moved in the widthwise direction of recording paper, and paper feed means for moving the recording paper in the direction orthogonal to the traveling direction of the recording head. On the basis of print data, ink droplets are ejected from the recording head, thus recording the data on the recording paper.

The recording head is mounted on the carriage, and is capable of ejecting ink droplets of, for example, black, yellow, cyan, magenta, etc. Accordingly, the ink-jet recording apparatus enables full-color printing by changing the proportions of ink types, as well as effecting text printing with black ink.

Filed under: Print Cartridge — Cheap Ink Cartridge @ 5:32 pm

The CP760 is Canon’s latest addition to their Selphy line of portable photo printers. The CP760 is clearly much smaller than the average inkjet printer since it doesn’t print on regular sheets of paper. The printer measures only 3.3 inches tall and 7.9 inches wide, so the printer can comfortably travel in a bag without becoming much of a nuisance. The stock bundle includes the printer, a wired power adapter, a paper cassette, and some trial sheets of 4-by-6-inch paper.

The top of the Canon Selphy CP760 has a 2.5-inch TFT display to preview pictures before printing. There’s also a PictBridge and USB port for direct printing from a digital camera. There are also a few auto-editing settings, including Red-eye Elimination, Portrait Image Optimize, and Scene Select. The cheap CP760 uses dye-sublimation ink technology to heat transfer images onto their proprietary paper, and Canon sells different media options, including greeting cards, postcards, and 2-by-3-inch credit cards. The dye-sublimation printing process is different from typical inkjet; the paper makes four passes through the machine: the first three lay down the base colors (cyan, magenta, and yellow), and the last pass places a thin overcoat on the image to prevent discoloration and extend durability.

The Selphy cheap CP760 prints photo at an average rate of 0.79 pictures per minute, faster than last year’s Selphy CP740. These types of printers are marketed as fast, easy-to-use printers that people can use at social gatherings immediately after taking a photo. The Selphy handled a wide range of color with precise detail and separation.
