Canon Technology: Dual Color Gamut Processing Technology

Pict. How Dual Color Gamut Processing Technology works

All-in-one inkjet printers make copying easy. Especially when making copies of color photographs, in order to achieve faithful color reproduction, it is essential to reconcile the differences between the color range of the scanned original and the range of expression possible with the inkjet printer. Canon developed its Dual Color Gamut Processing Technology to faithfully reproduce the colors of original documents in copies.

This technology takes advantage of Canon's extensive expertise in copying machines, taking into account factors such as the type of paper being used and human vision characteristics in order to achieve the same color balance and gradation as originals, even photos. By independently controlling the brightness and hue of the scanned data based on printer characteristics and paper type, Dual Color Gamut Processing Technology enables the creation of copies with rich gradation and minimal color variance.
