Canon products have long had a reputation
for producing outstanding image quality.
In this video, we'll review some of the key technologies
of the imageRUNNER ADVANCE C5500 Series
that contribute to stunning quality output.
First, the toner bottle itself.
The imageRUNNER ADVANCE C5500 Series
uses an IAP toner bottle, insulated and air-pressurized.
The air-assist method provides varied air pressure levels,
depending on the toner remaining in the bottle.
This helps ensure a more stable toner supply,
contributing to excellent image quality and consistency.
One single toner type, GPR55, is now compatible with all
four models in the imageRUNNER ADVANCE C5500 Series.
And the yield of the toner itself
has been increased from predecessor models.
The yield for the black toner is 69,000 images.
The yield for the color toner is 60,000 images.
These higher yields increase up-time
by reducing how often toner bottles require replacement.
The IAP toner bottle design also results
in cleaner operation compared to previous bottles,
reducing the possibility of spilled toner
and soiled hands when replacing.
This design also eliminates the traditional,
orange toner cap, reducing waste and easing replacement.
The imageRUNNER ADVANCE C5500 Series
uses a new toner, CS, or Consistently Stable toner.
This toner incorporates similar characteristics
to the toner used for the
imagePRESS C800/C700 models
CS toner contributes to enhancements in three key ways.
First, high quality on rough paper.
The toner surface characteristics provide
high transfer stability, designed
to limit irregularities and toner scattering.
Second, low power consumption and high productivity.
The toner's enhanced melting characteristics
contribute to these improvements,
resulting in proper fixing.
And third, color stability.
The CS toner's durability, charging stability, and toner
surface characteristics combined with the image control
abilities of the main unit help provide stable
and consistent color output, even over long runs.
These combine for beautiful output and highlight
the importance of using Canon GENUINE toner.
Canon brand toners are developed to optimize
the performance of Canon copiers.
And the production of these products is managed by Canon.
Naturally, no one makes better parts and supplies
for Canon products than Canon.
The imageRUNNER ADVANCE C5500 Series'
main unit incorporates updated imaging technologies,
which contribute to high-quality output.
The imageRUNNER ADVANCE C5500 Series
uses Canon's E drums for both color and black drums.
Previously, on the imageRUNNER ADVANCE C5200 Series,
only the black drum was an E drum.
The E drum adds a coating layer to the organic
photo conductor, or OPC, drum to make the surface
resistant to wear and provide high durability.
This advanced technology helps provide stable
images with little color variation.
A new coating on the intermediate
transfer belt, or ITB, provides effective
toner transfer from the belt to the media.
This allows for better filling of the concaves on the
surface of the media, improving quality on rough paper.
The fixing belt has also been
improved from the previous model.
The material is more adaptive to the rough edge
of the media, helping to maintain a consistent
distance between the media and the fixing unit
for the efficient conduction of heat.
This allows for toner to be fixed properly,
particularly noticeable with solid black content.
The V-squared color profile was first introduced
with the imageRUNNER ADVANCE C350iF, C250iF models
and has since been incorporated on
the imageRUNNER ADVANCE C3300 Series.
The imageRUNNER ADVANCE C5500 Series
also utilizes this profile, notable
for its vivid and vibrant output.
Vividness is achieved by expanding
the color reproduction range, or gamut, of the device.
This profile also enhances color
reproduction within darker areas.
And color expression is strong,
helping to increase the impact of the printed documents.
The vibrancy of the V-squared color profile
increases the visual sharpness of printed documents,
versus the predecessor model, resulting in sharp clarity.
Especially photos, which appear crisp and well defined.
As you can see, the imageRUNNER ADVANCE C5500 Series
offers several key improvements
to the toner bottle, the toner, imaging
technologies within the main unit, and the output profile.
Together, these enhancements contribute
to image quality that I'm certain you'll find stunning.
