This device utilize Canon’s superior color technology, which helps to achieve superior color imaging. This technology employs the following unique imaging techniques. Dual Direct Mapping Dual Direct Mapping consists of input direct mapping and output direct mapping. Output Direct Mapping RGB data is converted to device independent CMYK color space Input direct mapping is a feature that maps scanned images directly to the built-in three-dimensional RGB color table. The images are then adjusted to common RGB space, which helps to reduce color registration inaccuracies. Output direct mapping is a feature that maps the adjusted images and RGB data sent from PCs directly to the deviceindependent built-in three-dimensional CMYK (print colors) color table. Mapping is performed on a pixel-by-pixel basis, which helps to achieve an excellent color reproduction. Pure Black Technology This is a technique used to print black text using black toner only, instead of using C, M, Y, and K toners. This prevents the black text from exhibiting halftone artifacts and being misregistered, and eliminates blasting. Input Direct Mapping Scanned images are adjusted to common RGB color space Auto Gradation Adjustment System (Color Calibration) Auto Gradation Adjustment automatically adjusts the gradation, density, and color by optimizing toner density in accordance with ambient temperature and humidity, to help improve dot placement uniformity, accuracy, and registration. It has Quick Adjustment and Full Adjustment available. With Quick Adjustment, this device is calibrated without using test prints.
