Top Canon Pixma MP600 Photo Printer Reviews
Trusted Reviews wrote a review of the
Canon Pixma MP600 and said: "While the speed results
may not be close to Canon's claim for this machine, in most
other respects it does very well. Print quality is good, page
costs are commendably low and the flexibility of the PIXMA MP600
– with its dual paper sources, duplexing and innovative control
method – make it good value at just over £100."
Canon Pixma MP600 News Release Summary:
LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., Aug 24, 2006 – Canon's stylish new PIXMA
MP810 and MP600 Photo All-In-One (AIO) printers give consumers
high quality photos, fast scanning and copying in a package that
is easy-to-use and looks attractive in a home environment. With
the new Easy-Scroll Wheel interface found on these two models,
consumers can control device functions quickly and simply. In
addition, the bright, high-definition TFT LCD screens allow
consumers to view and edit photos directly from the all-in-one.
"The Canon PIXMA MP810 and MP600 models' stylish design and
innovative interface makes these new multi-function devices an
attractive addition to any home, that any member of the family
can easily use," said Yukiaki Hashimoto, senior vice president
and general manager of the consumer imaging group at Canon
U.S.A., Inc. "Now all generations within the family, from
grandparents to grandchildren, can easily copy and print vivid
photos or produce crisp, professional-looking documents with
great ease."
The Easy-Scroll Wheel and TFT Screen add to ease of use
Canon introduce the world's first multi-function printers with
the Easy-Scroll Wheel interface. Consumers can access document
operations at a glance, including the copy, scan, or print
functions by simply rotating the wheel to the desired feature
and pressing the "OK" button. Users can now keep their eyes on
the screen while selecting and executing functions, to give them
full control at their fingertips. What's more, Canon added the
"HOME" and "NAVI" buttons to this device's operational panel.
When consumers push the NAVI button, it displays the machines on
screen guide, which includes how-to recommendations for the most
common functions. The HOME button allows users to return to the
main menu, regardless of where they are in the sub-menus,
assuring users that home is always just a click away. By adding
the Easy-Scroll Wheel, HOME and NAVI buttons, Canon has been
able to reduce the number of total buttons by approximately half
compared to competing multifunction models.
The Easy-Scroll Wheel also includes a large, bright and colorful
TFT-type 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 what is
displayed, rather than just the person sitting directly in front
of the AIO.
The PIXMA MP600 Photo All-In-One: An Easy Way to get to the
Photo-Lab
The Canon PIXMA MP600 AIO brings the photo lab to the home at an
affordable estimated selling price of $199.996. It delivers
stunning photo-lab quality prints at up to 9600 x 2400-color
dpi1 and can produce a 4 x 6 inch borderless print in
approximately 28 seconds2 with the look and feel of a
traditional photo. The Easy-Scroll Wheel interface makes it
simple for users to access the copy, scan and print functions
quickly plus navigate and preview their photos on the 2.5-inch
color TFT screen. Five individual ink tanks equipped with the
Canon Smart LED technology can produce ink droplets as small as
one picoliter for laser-sharp documents and virtually grain-free
photos. The PIXMA MP600 Photo All-In-One supports auto-duplex
printing for two sided documents or photos while users can also
store up to 300 sheets of plain paper in the two included paper
trays. Consumers can also scan images at a maximum of 2400 x
4800 dpi, while automatically performing reductions,
corrections, and enlargements of their documents and photos.
When used with a supported Canon digital SLR, these new photo
all-in-ones support the user-friendly Canon-to-Canon Direct
Advantage. Connected via the PictBridge port, the Canon-to-Canon
connection allows users to brighten faces, print shooting
information on a print, or even print a contact sheet with up to
35 images - all directly from the camera controls without a PC.
The Canon-to-Canon workflow allows consumers to take advantage
of added convenience and power to produce outstanding image
quality directly from the camera to the printer without the need
for a PC.
Improved Copy Technology
All new additions to the Canon AIO line-up employ advanced copy
technology to help give the user amazing reproductions of
original images and documents. Dual Color Gamut Processing
Technology improves color accuracy by independently controlling
brightness, hue, and other elements to make sure that there are
minimal differences between the original and the copy. Users can
now avoid the frustrations that come with poor quality when
making a copy of a copy. With Dual Color Gamut Processing
Technology, documents remain sharp and photos look like they
came from your neighborhood photo mini-lab. In addition, with
Text and Image Separation Technology, the system can actually
differentiate text from an image, making black text and fine
lines dark and sharp when printing with pigmented black ink. Now
when black text appears over an image, the text on the following
generations of copies can be virtually as clear as the first.
These technologies plus hardware improvements in scanning and
printing can help make a copy almost indistinguishable from the
original.
ChromaLife100 System
These new PIXMA photo AIO's use the Canon ChromaLife100 system,
including the FINE print head technology for great photo
printing. When using select genuine Canon photo papers and inks,
prints can resist fading for up to 100 years when stored in an
archival quality photo album3. The up to 100-year-lifespan
rivals that of many traditional film based photos, long
considered by consumers to be the benchmark for image
permanence. Prints produced on Canon Photo Paper Pro with
ChromaLife100-compatible inks have an up to ten-year gas
fastness when exposed to open air3. Prints created with the
ChromaLife100 system, comprised of genuine Canon ink and photo
paper, like Photo Paper Pro or Photo Paper Plus Glossy, have up
to 30-year lightfastness when displayed under glass3.
