Canon Arizona IJC257 UV Ink

Your printer is optimized for UV-curable ink supplied by Canon. The ink is supplied in a collapsible bag. To install ink on the printer, the bag is inverted and a quick connect coupler is engaged. This opens up the flow path for the ink. The bags contain tags that identify them to the printer when they are loaded. This allows the printer to ensure that the correct ink is loaded.

Ink bags have several benefits over bottles or cartridges:

Self-collapsing bags make it easy to see how much ink remains in each bag.

• Virtually all the ink is successfully extracted from the bag by the printer, reducing the otherwise costly waste of usable ink.

• Ink changes are performed without mess or spills, keeping the environment around the printer clean.

• Ink changes can be performed during printing. This prevents wasted prints and lost time.

Only qualified ink can be used. If a bag of ink with an invalid serial number, expired use-by date, incorrect color placement in the ink bay, or if an expired tag is connected to the printer, then the operator is alerted, and an error message is displayed.
