Canon Pixma mini260 News Release Summary:
LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., Aug 24, 2006 – Canon focuses in on
ease-of-use, style and image quality with its new line of 4 x 6
inch compact photo printers - the PIXMA mini260 inkjet photo
printer and the SELPHY CP730 and SELPHY CP720 dye sublimation
photo printers. Offering a range of solutions that meet
virtually every picture-taker's needs, Canon's new compact photo
printers let people print wedding photos while at the wedding or
prom night fun at the prom. The PIXMA mini260, SELPHY CP730 and
SELPHY CP720 photo printers will be available this fall for
estimated selling prices of $199.991, $149.991 and $99.991
respectively.
"Whether people capture photos from a digital camera, camcorder,
cell phone, or even a PDA, Canon's new compact photo printers
make it easy to quickly print beautiful photographs from nearly
anywhere." said Yukiaki Hashimoto, senior vice president and
general manager of the consumer imaging group at Canon U.S.A.,
Inc. "These printers provide consumers with portable digital
imaging solutions that yield brilliant photographs."
According to a recent Consumer Electronics Association (CEA)
study of consumer buying habits, women influence about 88
percent of consumer electronics purchases. The study further
revealed that women are motivated to purchase products that
emphasize form factor. Based on this data, Canon optimized the
new printers' product design and ease-of-use, while maintaining
interest to all potential customers through image quality and
performance.
The PIXMA mini260 Photo Printer: Let Consumers Print Portably
in Style
The inkjet based PIXMA mini260 Compact Photo Printer allows
consumers to generate high quality photographs with or without a
computer from almost any location. Using the optional
rechargeable battery pack (LK-61 model, estimated selling price
$79.99), people can print photos from compatible memory cards2
digital cameras or DV camcorders, Bluetooth devices3, or camera
phones4, whether they are in the backyard, kitchen, or living
room.
Canon's new PIXMA mini260 model is the world's first compact
photo printer to incorporate the Easy-Scroll Wheel interface.
Canon designed this interface for rapid access to all printer
functions. Consumers can utilize available printer options by
simply rotating the wheel to the desired feature and pressing
the "OK" button.
People can now keep their eyes on the screen while selecting and
executing functions, giving them full control at their
fingertips. Canon has also added the "HOME" and "NAVI" buttons
to the device's operational panel.
The NAVI button displays context-sensitive how-to explanations
for often-used printer functions. For maximum simplicity, the
HOME button instantly returns users to the main menu.
In addition to the Easy-Scroll Wheel interface, Canon has also
included a large, high definition TFT LCD screen, which
consumers can use to preview images before printing and photo
editing. The screen is viewable at a 170-degree angle, so
everyone around the unit can enjoy images displayed, rather than
just the person sitting directly in front of the screen.
For beautiful and long lasting photos, the PIXMA mini260 printer
uses Canon's exclusive ChromaLife100 system. This system can
produce prints on a wide range Canon photo papers that resist
fading for up to 100 years when stored in an archival quality
photo album5. The PIXMA mini260 model is also equipped with the
latest generation of Canon's FINE (Full Photolithography Inkjet
Nozzle Engineering) print head, which produces the highest
resolution in its class at up to 9600 x 2400 dpi6, with color
ink droplets as small as one picoliter for exceptionally smooth
tonal gradation. Its Smart LED equipped 4-color ink tank easily
snaps in, producing high-impact, high-intensity colors which are
further enhanced with the addition of a true photo black. The
PIXMA mini260 model prints out beautiful, borderless 4 x 6 inch
color photos in approximately 59 seconds7 when using the
built-in PictBridge connection.
Not only does the PIXMA mini260 model deliver exceptional photo
quality and performance, but Canon has designed it to accept
interchangeable color panels for fashion conscious consumers
interested in personalizing their own compact photo printer. Out
of the box, the PIXMA mini260 printer comes equipped with "Blue
Steel" colored panels. This fall, consumers who purchase the
mini260 compatible genuine CLI-36 ink and paper combo pack
(estimated selling price of $29.991) will find that Canon has
included pink "Berry Frost" panels inside the ink and paper
packaging. Next spring, Canon will release new panel colors, so
consumers should stay tuned.
Wireless Photo Printing
Canon's three new compact photo printers - the PIXMA mini260,
SELPHY CP730 and CP720 models - are compatible with Canon's
BU-20 Bluetooth Adapter. Available as an optional accessory,
this petite adaptor allows consumers to print photos wirelessly
from a variety of nearby Bluetooth enabled devices, like mobile
phones and PDAs3. Please check www.usa.canon.com. for more
