Ink Model
44''
The arrival of the Canon imagePROGRAF W8200 44" pigment ink model is
a truly ground-breaking event. In addition to ultra-high quality and ultra-
high speed, this model delivers brilliant, and color-fast prints that go far
beyond what is currently expected for a printer of this type. That means its
printouts can be used in a wider range of sites and environments.
Unrivaled new standard in ink performance
Superb color reproduction
Superior light fastness
Thanks to Canon's original technology, the imagePROGRAF W8200 pigment ink
model exploits the light fastness advantage of pigment ink to a level that others
still only aspire to. This is especially true of light fastness, particularly with 1/6
density photo ink (Photo Cyan, Photo Magenta). In the case of interior display in
the right conditions, the color achieves especially long resistance against fading.
Outstanding color stabilization
The colors of Canon pigment inks stabilize quickly. The time required for the
color to stabilize is extremely short, allowing color proofing right after printing.

Test Conditions
•Temperature: 23° – 25° C/73° – 77° F
•Humidity: 40% – 60%
•Pattern: Density patches of 100%, 90%, 85%, 80%, 75%, 70%, 65%, 60%,
55%, 50%, 45%, 40%, 30%, 20%, 10% for each color: R, G, B, C, M, Y, K
Measurement Procedure: Color difference E is determined by comparison with
standard color, defined as the color one week after printing. Maximum Color
Difference: The largest color difference value among all patches of the pattern.
Measurement is started immediately after printing. Test is conducted by Canon.
With respect to color gamut, there’s little difference between the imagePROGRAF W8200
pigment ink and imagePROGRAF W8200 dye ink models—both are brilliant.

Tested conditions
•Temperature: 24° C/75° F
•Humidity: 60%
•Light source: White fluorescent light 70,000 lux
•Layer of air and 2mm thick glass on the sample
Presumed conditions: Assuming one day’s illumination as 500 lux x
10 hours in-house evaluation criteria (Based on ISO)
Single color/Composite color: A color change has occurred if the
density is under 70% (OD: 1.0 ➔ 0.7)
Process black: The fading ratio between each color is within 15%, and
a color change has occurred if the density is under 70% (OD: 1.0 ➔ 0.7)
The expressed number of years is the result of simulated tests conducted
by Canon Inc. and is not guaranteed.
