August 17, 2009: October will mark the release of three new Canon A4 PIXMA printers that offer fast and easy photo and document printing for families and small office operators.
The new additions are the multifunction MP640 and MP990 and the single function iP4700 all of which feature auto duplex printing and offer compatibility with Microsoft’s new Windows 7 operating system. Designed for the durable Chromalife 100+ dye inks, the new printers feature Canon’s FINE print head technology and offer 9600 x 2400 dpi resolution. All three models can print on specially-coated CD and DVD disks. They are also PictBridge compatible for direct printing from a USB-connected digital camera.

The PIXMA MP640 and MP990 come with card slots for direct printing from most popular memory cards and also offer wireless printing and scanning capabilities, enabling users to print or scan from anywhere in the house. New Easy-Photo Print (which includes Auto Photo Fix II to ensure correctly-exposed, colour-correct photo prints) and Easy WebPrint EX software make it simple to print high-quality photos and customised documents from the web.

A new Auto Scan mode can identify the type of original and save scanned documents as PDF files and photos as JPEG images with one click of the ‘Scan’ button. With Easy WebPrint EX, users can easily select only the web page content they need to print or combine content from multiple pages to minimise paper wastage. While the MP640 only scans documents and photo prints and uses five ink cartridges, the MP990 includes film and slide scanning and features six individual ink tanks, including grey, for better tonal rendition in photo prints.

The PIXMA iP4700 is a single-purpose, five-ink printer with that is designed to produce high-quality photo and document prints. Like the PIXMA MP640 and MP990, the iP4700 can print a 6 x 4 inch photo in approximately 20 seconds. Two-way paper feeding enables users to load photo paper in the rear tray and document paper in the cassette, eliminating the need to change paper when switching from photo to document printing. Easy-Photo Print with Auto Photo Fix II is included in the software bundle.
The new printers will be available through Canon retailers from October. RRPs have still to be determined. For more information on all four models, phone Canon on 1800 021 167 or visit www.canon.com.au.
