PIXMA - New Additions to the Inkjet Printer Range
Easily create documents and photos at home with PIXMA iP4600, iP3600 and iP1900 inkjet printers.




Sydney, 26 August 2008: Creating vibrant photos and documents is now easier and more affordable than ever with Canon's new range of PIXMA inkjet printers. The stylish PIXMA iP4600, iP3600 and iP1900 make home printing quick and easy and offer endless printing possibilities.

"The PIXMA brand continues to support convenient printing for people looking to get the highest quality results at an affordable price," said K.C Lu, Senior Brand Manager - PIXMA, Consumer Imaging Products Group, Canon Australia. "These new single-function models continue to improve the PIXMA range and help users enjoy their printing experience with our brand."


Printing Effectively
Canon's new PIXMA printers feature more compact, sleek designs to integrate with the home environment, while smaller paper feeding units and adjusted rear trays on all three new models make handling easier.

Precious family memories are in safe hands thanks to PIXMA's Chromalife100+ technology.

ChromaLife100+ combines dye-based inks and new Canon photo paper for ultra long-lasting, vibrant images with an archival life of up to 300 years when stored in a photo album*.

Photo editing provides more options with PIXMA printers, featuring software functions such as free rotation of objects when viewing, Auto Photo Fix to brighten photos and Easy-PhotoPrint EX for a diversity of print options, such as calendars and creative layouts.

PIXMA and the Environment
Supporting Canon's commitment to sustainability, PIXMA printers are designed to minimise environmental impact throughout the product lifecycle. PIXMA products minimise resource consumption by using recycled plastics and less packaging. Smaller body sizes and reduced packaging also reduce carbon emissions in the transportation phase. New PIXMA printers also have been approved under very stringent ISO14001 environmental guidelines and have been Energy Star certified, helping to save money on home electricity bills and further reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

The PIXMA range offers a quick-start function to reduce standby energy consumption, while functions such as double-sided printing and document shrinking to fit multiple pages on one sheet reduce paper consumption. Canon makes recycling ink tanks easy through the nationwide Cartridges 4 Planet Ark program.
