The ink manufacturer has launched inks for both OEMs, including HP’s Officejet Pro X.
The Canon inks are designed for use with Canon’s PGI-550, CLI-551, PGI-250 and CLI-251 cartridges, and include a new black pigment ink, photo black ink, grey ink and “three new colour dye-based” inks for “OEM-like printing results”. The company added that “all cartridges are available as standard and XL cartridges”, and that “amples are – as always – available” in 250g packaging.
The manufacturer also announced the release of inks for use in HP’s Officejet Pro X machines, which are said to be the fastest inkjet machines released at this time. The four machines in the range include the single function Officejet Pro x451dn and x551dw, as well as the multifunction Officejet Pro x476dn and x576dw.
The machines use HP’s PageWide Technology, “enabling single pass prints with speed of up to 70 ppm in General Office quality mode” according to OCP, with “high quality prints at up to two times the speed and half the printing cost of laser”. The cartridges, 970 and 971, are single ink cartridges containing “all-pigment inks” that are “vibrant”, “water-resistant” and “will last for decades”.
OCP noted in turn that its research and development department developed “brand new Pigment inks for the HP 970 and 971 cartridges, giving OEM-like properties”, and added that the new cartridges “are also equipped with a chip which is recognized by the printer”, for a which a “replacement chip as well as a reset solution currently does not exist”, adding that it doesn’t have information “about if or when such a solution will be available”.
