Canon's proprietary Bubble Jet Canon's trade name for its thermal drop on demand inkjet printer technology. The ink is heated, which produces a bubble that expands and ejects the ink out of the nozzle. As the bubble cools, the vacuum created draws fresh ink back into the nozzle. technology offers the highest resolution for this class of MFPs at 1440x720 dots per inch (dpi) resolution at print speeds faster than most in its class at nine pages per minute (ppm) in monchrome (using the optional BC-30e cartridge) and four ppm in color; the Super G3 facsimile features both black and color high speed faxing at 33.6 kbps(4); and the Canon Think Tank System offers a technology which Canon has pioneered and which is attracting end-users with its no-waste, cost-savings benefit now using new, improved "e" series inks. Shipping in September, the MultiPASS C755 MFP has an estimated street price of $249(1). "Canon's strength in the MFP market is based on our technology expertise in printing, faxing, scanning and copying -- SOHO customers know Canon is a leader in all these individual areas -- we have a brand name they trust," said John Arnos, senior vice president of sales and marketing for CCSI. "With the new MultiPASS C755 MFP we're offering the best value for the money -- increased print resolution and speeds, a high-speed fax and individual ink tank system which actually save money -- all that power and performance in one product is sure to maintain Canon's strong Number Two position in the MFP market." (market position based on information from IDC, Framingham, Mass., 1999) "Canon's use of individual ink tanks on the MultiPASS C755 MFP separates it from the pack and places this product on a very short list of MFPs with this configuration," said Virginia Higgins, facsimile and image communications analyst with CAP Ventures (market analyst firm based in Norwell, Mass.) "And in doing so, Canon has eliminated what might have been the remaining obstacle for printer and fax buyers in this segment." About The MultiPASS C755 MFP Color Bubble Jet Printing: Canon has incorporated the printer engine from its current desktop ink jet printer, the BJC-3000 printer, into the MultiPASS C755 MFP for 1440x720 dpi resolution and up to 9 (with optional BC-30e cartridge) and 4 ppm print speeds. The C755 MFP also features Canon's proprietary Drop Mopdulation Technology which offers better color gradations and reduces graininess graininess a fault in x-ray films in which there is clumping together of the silver particles in the emulsion, causing the image to lose its homogeneous appearance and to give an impression of lumpiness. by dropping both full and half size drops in the same scan line with the same printhead printhead n → cabeza impresora printhead n → tête f d'impression printhead print n → Druckkopf m . The Canon Think Tank System, which Canon pioneered over five years ago, continues to be a key feature for Canon in both the standalone ink jet printer and MFP segments of the market. By only replacing the color ink which has run out, end-users do not have to discard the entire print cartridge as they do with most competitive products. In addition, this unique system offers an optical ink sensor which alerts the user when ink is running low.

Black and Color Faxing: By offering the Super G3 high-speed fax at 33.6 Kbps, Canon transmission speeds are just three pages per second(6) This is another cost-savings benefit for customers since the faster fax transmission speeds can save phone service costs.
