Due for release in November, and designed for photo enthusiasts and professional users who need to print with dye-based inks, the PIXMA PRO-200 replaces the PIXMA PRO-100S. The latest model features a new eight-colour dye ink system with updated magenta and black inks that support an expanded colour gamut for reds and blues and provide more faithful reproduction of blacks while also improving black densities. The new printer is also more efficient, with the ability to print standard high-grade A3+ bordered colour prints in approximately one minute and 30 seconds. It is also more versatile and can print on a range of photo paper surfaces and finishes up to 0.6mm thickness, with panorama size prints and gallery wrap support functions also available.

The PIXMA PRO-200 integrates seamlessly with professional print workflows and is compatible with Canon’s Professional Print & Layout PC software. It also supports various software and application extensions including the Media Configuration Tool PC software utility, and image editing software such as Digital Photo Professional and Adobe Photoshop. three connectivity methods – Wi-Fi, Ethernet and USB – allow it to be used in a wide range of environments including the office or studio, or remote cafes, shared spaces, and home. It will be available from authorised local dealers from mid-November 2020. Pricing will be set at dealers’ discretion. Click here for full details.

The new PIXMA Home Office TR8660 and PIXMA Home Office TR7660 multi-function printer/copier/scanners have been designed for home office use and developed to meet the needs of businesses and families as they adapt to the new home-based and remote-working lifestyles. Both models can print, scan, copy and fax, with each function within easy reach via the printers’ large LCD colour touch screen displays and simple-to-navigate interfaces. Each model includes an Auto Document Feeder (ADF) that allows a maximum load of 20 pages, and makes continuous document reading possible when using copying and faxing functions. Both models offer print speeds of approximately 15.0 ipm for B&W documents and 10.00 ipm for colour files and feature compact designs, measuring approximately 438 x 351 x 190 mm when stored. Improved Wi-Fi connectivity provides direct printing from computers and mobile devices. Available for iOS devices only, Canon’s QR Code Direct Connection enables users to scan the QR code displayed on the printer’s LCD screen to create a direct connection, negating the need to input information such as the printer’s SSID or various passwords. The new PIXMA Home Office TR8660 also comes with an SD card slot for direct printing.
