: Canon has released details of its i9950 Bubble Jet printer, the first desktop A3+ photo printer to use Canon’s ChromaPLUS eight-colour ink system.
Designed for working photographers and photo enthusiasts and priced at $999, the i9950 Bubble Jet printer features the longest and highest nozzle-density print head in a consumer product, with 6,144 nozzles, capable of ejecting a staggering 123 million droplets per second. The print head uses Canon’s advanced MicroFine Droplet Technology to deliver an ‘industry-leading’ 4800 x 2400 dpi maximum colour resolution plus microscopic 2 picolitre ink droplets. The ink set includes two new tanks containing red and green inks. The red ink tank increases in the orange/red gamut by approximately 60%, while the green ink boosts the green gamut by roughly 30% and creates more accurate and deeper greens in grass and foliage. Print quality is comparable to that of silver halide photos and the new model claims print speeds that are one of the fastest on the market. It can produce a 10 x 15 cm borderless photo in as little as 38 seconds.

The i9950 Bubble Jet is both Direct Print and PictBridge compatible, allowing users to print straight from the camera via a USB cable. No computer is required. It also allows printing directly onto printable CDs/DVDs. This means disks can have thumbnail images and text printed on them, making it easy to identify the files they contain, an invaluable facility for archiving image and video files. Optimal results are obtained with Canon’s high quality photo papers through a synergy of printing and paper technologies, including accurate colour reproduction through the printer’s Colour Management system. Users can print borderless photos in 10 x 15 cm, 13 x 18 cm, A4, A3 and A3+ sizes.
Supplied with the i9950 Bubble Jet printer is Canon’s comprehensive suite of supporting software packages and print driver controls. Product details can be found at www.canon.com.au and details of stockists are available by phoning 1800 021 167.
