Features

With the varioPRINT iX-series press, Canon launches iQuariusiX, the next generation of this proven technology.

iQuariusiX technology takes the guesswork out of the science that enables ink and paper to work together. It makes it possible to handle a wide range of media and to print at incredibly high speeds while retaining razor-sharp details, outstanding color, and a perfectly flat finish.

iQuariusiX is based on four technology innovations:

  • Quality control: For consistent quality on all applications
  • Ink innovation: For superior quality on a wide range of media
  • Drying technology: For a robust end result, ready for post-processing
  • Media transport: For reliable and accurate, non-stop operations and handling of all media

Stack and finish

Straight stack delivery ready for processing. Online connection to finishers for end-to-end automated workflows.

iQuariusiX Quality control

Nozzle activity control

Automatically detects and corrects nozzle failure or misfiring in near real-time

Nozzle uniformity control

Controls individual nozzles to ensure consistently high, smooth print quality

True 1200 dpi print process

Co-developed 1200 dpi printheads optimized for use in iX-series and true 1200 dpi image processing

iQuariusiX Ink innovation

iX performance ink

Water-based inks with a proprietary formulation for excellent image quality and robustness on many different media types

Next-generation ColorGrip

Special formulation promotes production performance of the water-based iX inks on a wide media range.

Paper input modules

Climate-controlled and vacuum-fed paper input modules supporting all media from all trays

iQuariusiX Drying technology

Drying system drum

First drying step. Hot air impingement evaporates water from the ink on the print.

Post-fixation unit with InkFusion technology

Second drying step. Heat with humidification for robust ink layer so prints can be cut, stitched, perforated, and folded without issue.

iQuariusiX Media transport

Precision sheet control

Seamless stainless steel belt with small perforated holes and air suction accurately positions and transports sheets at high speed. Enables a combination of papers with outstanding registration.

Sheet entry control

Sheets with deformations automatically detected and discarded before entering the print process.
