Published by ClubPrinter, on Jul 06 2010, in the categories: Canon
The Canon PIXMA iX7000 InkJet Business Printer suits well small offices and home environments. It has a premium 11 x 17 in powerhouse, which offers very good plain paper quality, photo lab quality, and three types of paper handling.
You will benefit from built-in Ethernet connectivity, a big cassette which can store up to 250 sheets of plain paper. If you need to create business-like presentations, such as brochures or other materials, you will appreciate the quality of the printings. There are some special LUCIA color pigment inks, which have a clear ink technology, together with high-intensity Black pigment ink. Thus, the texts have a very good quality, and the pictures will turn out to be very clear, as well as the graphics will be. The speed of this printer is also very fast, which is important for sparing some valuable time as well.
There are also six individual ink tanks, and a clear ink that is used at cleaning the printer. The ink tanks are easy to be replaced each time a color runs out. The resolution of the Canon PIXMA iX7000 InkJet Business Printer is very good, of 4800 x 1200 maximum color DPI, using the Canon Full-photolitography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering (FINE) that uses a patented printhead that provides small ink droplets of 2pl. This technology will improve your business technology clarity even more, no matter if they are text documents or photos.
You don’t have to turn the document manually when you print it on both sides, which turns it into a great green device. This method is also valuable for saving 50% of your paper tray, as well as time, money and paper.
The front paper cassette has a large paper capacity that can store up to 250 sheets of plain paper. The Auto Photo Fix II is another technology provided by this printer, which will categorize the images into Portrait, Night Scenery, Scenery, Snapshot with Scenery, and Snapshot with Night Scenery. After the pictures categorization, they can also be corrected with the optimal image and multi-zone exposure correction.
The easy connectivity is provided by the Ethernet interface, which permits you to connect to either a home or office network, with computers that share the power of the Canon PIXMA’s iX7000 InkJet Business Printer. You can also connect your computer through an USB 2.0 Hi-Speed port.

Canon Stand Alone Photo Printers
Published by ClubPrinter, on Apr 19 2010, in the categories: Canon
Multifunction printers are the most sought after and common devices you can find on the market. They are so common that you can hardly find a standalone printer anymore. The question 'why would you even want a standalone?' does have its point but there is a field in which a standalone is worth it.
I'm referring to printing photography. Except for some very expensive multifunction printers, other all-in-ones simply have too much focus on office features to offer good photo quality printing. This is the primary reason why, if you want a printer specifically for photo printing and don't need anything else, you should get a standalone. But since this is the era of mobility and portability, you shouldn't settle for a larger device that takes up half of your desk. You can simply chose a model out of Canon's compact printer line called Selphy.
The Selphy line includes Canon stand alone photo printers that come in small sizes and offer portability. Hence you'll be getting a good quality photo printer that you may actually take along with your digital camera outside the house. Even if you chose not to do so, Selphy printers still take much less space on a desk and can be moved around from room to room with ease. In 2009 the Selphy ES40 was introduced to the market. What's special about the ES40 is its multitude of features and ease of use.
The printer makes perfect use of the dye-sublimation printing technology which means you'll be getting better photo quality and won't ever be seeing the small dots inkjets sometimes seem to produce. The common point between the ES40 and other printers from the Selphy line is definitely the design that makes it look simply adorable.
Something about it makes it look like it was designed for children but this won't stop mature users from enjoying it either. A very interesting feature is the voice guidance that really does make it possible for children to print and get instructions.
The control panel is hard to miss as it occupies the whole front of the printer. It includes a 3.5 inch color LCD, an easy to use scroll wheel for navigation and a series of smaller and larger buttons for various features. On the top you'll find the memory card reader that supports SD, miniSD, microSD, SDHC, MMC (and variations), xD, Memory Stick and others. On the left you'll find the PictBridge/USB port that allows direct printing from compatible digital cameras. Replacing the consumables (paper and ink) is extremely easy since Canon included both of these into a photo pack. On the right side there's a flap that opens and you simply insert the pack there and you're set to go.
The speed of this printer is relatively good. Not as good as Canon claims, but you'll generally get a 4 by 6 inch done in a bit over a minute. The photo quality proves to be good and results are vivid and sharp. What might upset you about these mini Canon stand alone photo printers is that they limit you to 4 by 6 inch prints. You can print smaller (2.1 x 3.4 inch) but that's not of much interest for most users. If you can get past this then Canon's Selphy ES40 is a great family-oriented printer.

Office Photo Printers
Published by ClubPrinter, on Apr 16 2010, in the categories: Canon
Generally office printers and office printers are two different breeds of devices that don't mix. You find them at separate ends of the scale targeting completely different audiences. But the fact is some offices do need to print high quality photos for various presentations of brochures.
This is where the Canon Pixma MX700 multifunction office photo printers come in handy. The MX700 offers photography of impressive quality at high speeds even on regular paper and can do most of what any other office dedicated all-in-one prints.
The reasonable mid-range price also doesn't chase potential customers away. As design the Canon Pixma screams 'professional' as soon as you set your eyes on it. The silver and gray exterior seems high quality and looks pretty good. As size it will comfortably fit on most desks as it measures 18.9 x 18 x 9.5 inches and weighs just around 23 pounds. On top of the printer you'll find the ADF that also supports legal size documents. Whenever you have a large number of pages that are waiting to be scanned, you'll appreciate the ADF because it lets you avoid scanning every single page individually.
On the front you'll find the control panel, two memory card slots and a PictBridge USB port that allows direct printing from compatible digital cameras. On the control panel there's a 1.8 inch color LCD screen that pivots and is of much use when navigating through the printer's menu or previewing photos. There's a specific button for each of the printers functions, copy, fax, scan and another for memory card. Those buttons allow you to switch the mode of the device.
As always the pages per minute the manufacturer claims and the actual reality of the situation aren't one and the same things. While Canon claims faster speeds, the Pixma MX700 office photo printers can reach 10 pages per minute for text and about 3.5 pages per minute for graphics. While still fastest than most of its competition, it would be nice if you could rely upon what print speeds the manufacturer gives for once. Paper capacity consists of a 150 sheet rear input tray and a front input tray of 110 sheets of paper.
The front tray only supports regular paper while the back tray can handle several types of media including photo paper. Under the shell reside four separate ink tanks, a pigment based black ink, and three dye-based color inks. As for printing quality, text is nice and crisp, not identical to the quality of a laser but nothing to complain about. For photos the only thing you can really complain about is the tendency of the printer to make flesh tones look slightly orange.
Along with the printer you'll be getting plenty more from Canon in terms of software. There is a lot of software bundled that includes stuff for scanning and photography. As a conclusion, the Pixma MX700 is one of the top multifunction printers that can serve offices well and provide good photo prints at the same time.

Canon Portable Photo Printers
Published by ClubPrinter, on Apr 10 2010, in the categories: Canon
Many dedicated photo printers have been released in the past few years and it's up to the user to select the one that they like most. Some people prefer printers they can hold in the safety and comfort of their home, on their desk while others would be more enthusiastic about portable photo printers that they can take along anywhere.
Professionals who need to print photos on the go, at various fairs or events are also not to be ignored and manufacturers are well aware of that. Canon is one of the companies that specializez in offering quality photo printers for many many years. The lineup of Canon portable photo printers includes quite a large number of such devices. One of them would be the Selphy CP400.
This little printer is easy to set up as well as use and offers enough versatility for users who love printing their photos wherever they may travel. Aside from printing while connected to a computer through USB, the Canon Selphy CP400 can also print directly from a compatible digital camera through PictBridge. The technology it uses is dye-sublimation. Opposed to inkjet, dye-sublimation doesn't produce small droplets of ink but actually uses heat to turn solid ink into vapors that are then transferred to the paper.
This technology has many advantages. The print quality is higher, photos look more realistic and the finished product is both smudge and waterproof. You get photographs that will last for almost a hundred years if stored correctly which is more than many of us would ever need.
The printer is also capable of handling several paper sizes from credit card to 4 by 8 inch. While most people mainly use 4 by 6 inch paper, it's nice to have several options just in case you ever need them. Printing speed was never impressive for portable photo printers. The Selphy CP400 has a satisfying output speed of 1 minute and a half for a 4 by 6 inch photo. While this might not blow your mind away, most users that want to print photos are well aware that quality needs time and are rarely in a hurry.
Printing from a digital camera may result in an even faster printing speed. Photo quality is definitely very good for this printer. The only problem with it is that it on occasion may print out a photo that tends to look overexposed. Dye-sublimation technology, that most Canon portable photo printers use, means you'll be replacing consumables with the kits of ink and paper the manufacturer provides. They aren't cheap but can't be considered extremely expensive either. The 108 photo pack will lead you to around 46 cents per print.
If you're a photo enthusiast that needs to print on the go and wants a good and light travel buddy to accompany a digital camera, the Canon Selphy CP400 is a good choice provided you're okay with how much the consumables will cost you throughout use.

Canon Pixma Ix7000 Inkjet Business Printer
Published by ClubPrinter, on Mar 25 2010, in the categories: Canon
Canon has been offering quality printers for many years and has come to a point where it can offer any type of printer for any type of user. This is best proved by their Selphy line of photo printers that are family oriented, offer good photo quality and look like a child's colorful sand bucket.
I've pointed this fact out because if you can find a Canon printer looking like that, that still delivers high quality prints, then there's a chance you'll find absolutely anything you're looking for in Canon's lineup of printers. Both old and new generation printers behave remarkably. The Canon Pixma ix7000 Inkjet Business printer for example was, as the name suggests made for office use. It was designed to offer a combination of great quality on your average paper, photo lab quality when using special paper and multiple ways of paper handling. Since it's a large format printer, it's only obvious that you're dealing with a big device.
But what you don't know yet is how big. At 25.5 inches in width and a 20.4 inch depth you'll have a rather hard time fitting this device on most desks. But let's assume that it's no problem for offices to provide a special place for their dedicated printer to sit on. The design of the printer inspires style. Dark-gray plastic combined with metallic-silver plastic areas turn it into a modern device that will look good in professional environments.
Among the first things that you'll notice is that this printer has three paper paths. There's a 250 sheet casette mounted straight on the front of the Canon Pixma ix7000 Inkjet Business printer, and also a 250 sheet top-mounted tray. On top of that you'll also get a manual feeder that can handle up to 10 sheets of paper. Setting this printer up is relatively easy. Connections are limited to either Ethernet or the usual USB. Because there's no LCD screen this printer is basically stuck to a computer. The software instal is just a matter of pressing 'next' as many times as you have to and then you'll discover the printer is ready to work.
Inside the printer you'll find six individual ink tanks, five of which are pigment-based and the last one being clear ink that's meant to provide laser-quality text and amazing photo colors, according to the manufacturer. Because you get individual ink tanks this means you can replace each one separately as soon as it runs out. The pigment inks make use of the LUCIA technology.
So what's not so great about the ix7000? Apparently the printing speed. It's slower than most other inkjet printers. Maximum speed is estimated at 10 ipm in black or 8 ipm in color. Add to that about 18 to 20 seconds for the first page out and you'll discover that you'll have to wait a while for the ix7000 to get things done. But since patience is a virtue and from every other aspect this printer offers great quality, it's probably one of the best choices your money and office can buy.
