Canon’s 2009 PIXMA All-In-One, Home, Photo and Business Printer range: smart printing technology, intelligently applied

PIXMA MP490
United Kingdom / Republic of Ireland 19 August 2009: Canon has announced a new range of PIXMA All-In-One and Photo printers that offer intelligent, high-quality printing for everyone - while also making them easier to use. The range - comprising of six new All-In-Ones, a premium quality A4 Photo Printer and an A3 office printer - harness the latest Canon printing technologies for photo-lab quality results.

New to PIXMA in 2009 is Auto Photo Fix II, an improved version of the automatic image-correction function first introduced in Canon’s Easy-PhotoPrint EX software in 2008. Canon is also making webpage printing simpler and smarter with the introduction of Easy-WebPrint EX allowing users to clip webpage information and build their own relevant, printable documents. Canon’s 2009 PIXMA inkjet All-In-Ones are also easier to use with the introduction of larger colour TFT LCD displays and improved Easy-Scroll Wheel with 4-way cursor controls on some models.

All 2009 PIXMA printers offer class-leading print speeds that are even faster than last year’s models, while Canon has also become one of the first printer manufacturers to adopt ISO/IEC 24734, 24735 print and copy speed measurements across its entire inkjet range – making it simpler to make direct model-to-model comparisons using industry standards.

These new features join existing Canon technologies like FINE (Full-photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering) printhead technology and ChromaLife100+, enabling users to produce high quality, long lasting prints with any kind of document.

All-In-One PIXMA Printers
Canon’s six-model strong PIXMA All-In-One line-up includes two new entry-level models aimed at first-time users and students – the PIXMA MP270 and PIXMA MP490. Two mid-range models – the PIXMA MP550 and PIXMA MP560 – offer ease of use and quality thanks to single ink tanks, while two flagship All-In-Ones – the PIXMA MP640 and PIXMA MP990- are suited to any user, from digital camera enthusiasts or professional photographers, to creative business users.

Like the rest of Canon’s 2009 PIXMA range, the entry-level PIXMA MP270 and PIXMA MP490 both feature Auto Photo Fix II - an improved version of the image correction function included in last year’s Easy-PhotoPrint EX software. Auto Photo Fix II makes it easy to correct underexposed images by using multi-zone algorithms to assess each area of an image before intelligently applying just the right amount of correction, ensuring you get beautifully balanced prints.
Easy-WebPrint EX enables web-users to clip key parts of a webpage that they’d like to print. The software, which is available to download from www.canon-europe.com, allows users to collect, edit and combine web content from different web pages. This ensures that users only print the information that is useful to them and affords them the potential to save paper and ink.

Other key features of the PIXMA MP270 and PIXMA MP490 All-In-Ones include a 2pl FINE Cartridge system, which makes them simple to replace when the ink runs low, while also offering superior quality printing at 4800dpi resolution. The PIXMA MP270 and PIXMA MP490 are also noticeably faster than their predecessors, using ISO/IEC speed measurement tests.
