July 18, 2005: In September, Canon will release three new Pixma printers featuring the recently-announced ChromaLife 100 inks that can produce long-lasting photo prints with a wide colour gamut.
The Pixma iP4200 Photo Printer (RRP $249) is a high-performance machine that delivers a resolution of up to 9600 x 2400 colour dpi using Canon’s FINE technology. Its 1,856-nozzle print head ejects precise, consistent 1 picolitre droplets creating photo prints with no detectable grain. Four dye-based inks and a pigment-based black ink produce photos with a wide colour palette, along with laser-quality text and the Pixma iP4200 can print a 10 x 15 cm snapshot in just 51 seconds. Other features include a dual paper path for photo and plain papers, auto duplexing and PictBridge direct printing from compatible cameras and camcorders.
The entry-level Pixma iP1600 Photo Printer (RRP $99) is versatile and simple to use with a new slanted design that looks great on a desk.

Featuring Canon’s FINE technology and an innovative print head with 1,472 nozzles, the iP1600 delivers 2 picolitre droplets with a resolution of up to 4800 x 1200 colour dpi and can print a 10 x 15 cm snapshot in approximately 70 seconds. High-intensity ChromaLife100 colour inks ensure vivid photos and graphics and a special pigment black ink delivers laser-like text – along with a higher resistance to smudging when you’re handling or highlighting a printed document.
Combining affordability and performance, the Pixma iP2200 Photo Printer (RRP $119) can produce a borderless 10 x 15 cm photo print in as little as 55 seconds and combines a print resolution of 4800 dpi with 2 picolitre droplets for photos virtually free of graininess.

This model uses the same four-colour ink set as the iP1600. Canon has tested the ChromaLife100 system against ozone, nitrogen oxide and sulphur oxide and claims prints on Canon Photo Paper Pro with the ChromaLife100 inks will resist fading for up to 100 years when stored in an archival quality photo album. They also have an up to ten-year gas fastness when exposed to open air or up to 30-year light fastness when displayed under glass.
