Canon 8580A001 User manual

Bigger just got better.
The i9900 Photo Printer is a high-end large format machine whose remarkable output can rival that of a professional processing
lab. It’s capable of producing edge-to-edge true borderless prints, from 4" x 6" up to a breathtaking 13" x 19" size, with the look
and feel of a traditional photograph. Think of it: you can take a digital picture, set your printing parameters and be holding an
amazing 13" x 19" poster-size borderless print in under 6 minutes*. For true printing freedom you can even connect a Bubble Jet
Direct** or PictBridge-compatible** digital camera or DV camcorder to the i9900 printer’s conveniently located Direct Print Port
and print photos—without a computer.
Higher resolution—it’s all in the details.
The i9900 Photo Printer features advanced MicroFine Droplet Technology™, which combines revolutionary techniques in ink
droplet size and quality with accurate ink application and composition, for spectacular photo results. Its newly developed, high-
density print head contains an unmatched 6,144 precisely machined nozzles, delivering approximately 11 million droplets per
square inch. Providing the exceptional quality demanded by serious photographers, the i9900 Photo Printer achieves a resolu-
tion of up to 4800 x 2400 dpi*** and delivers ultra-fine 2 picoliter droplets that reveal precise details in photographs that many
other large-format printers just can’t duplicate. The quality of your photos will truly impress family and friends, while the speed
at which they print will truly impress you. Edge-to-edge borderless 4" x 6" photos can be produced in about 38 seconds* or print
your 8.5" x 11" photo enlargements in about 50 seconds*. The i9900’s performance is further advanced with the addition of both
a FireWire and USB 2.0 Hi-Speed interface for the fastest photo transfers possible†
.
An 8 color ink system broadens your spectrum.
The i9900 Photo Printer features the 8 color ChromaPLUS ink system designed to extend your color reproduction range signifi-
cantly and reproduce colors that before now could only be printed professionally. The addition of red and green ink tanks will
make it possible to print richer images with improved brilliancy and more true-to-life colors. The Canon Think Tank System™
featuring individual ink tanks combined with an intelligent ink management system lets you replace only the color that runs out,
rather than an entire multi-ink cartridge containing unused ink, reducing printing costs††
. A unique low-ink sensor alerts you
when ink levels are low, so you can drop in a new tank and avoid running out of ink unexpectedly.
* Photo print speed based on default printer driver mode using Canon Photo Paper Pro. Print speed will vary based on
system configuration, software, document complexity, print mode and page coverage.
