Canon I450 - i 450 Color Inkjet Printer User manual

Advanced printer technology at an exceptional value.
The Canon i450 Color Bubble Jet Printer delivers high-quality photos, detailed printing from the Web, crisp text and exclusive
Canon features—all at a great value. It achieves print speeds of up to 18 ppm in black and up to 12 ppm in color along with
resolution of up to 4800 x 1200 color dpi.* Canon advanced MicroFine Droplet Technology™ uses a revolutionary nozzle system
that ejects consistent prescribed-volume droplets in microscopic sizes for remarkable print clarity. The i450 printer’s newly
designed print head produces 5-picoliter and ultra-fine 2-picoliter droplets, helping you to produce smooth, more photo-
realistic images. Your photos, graphics, Web pages and reports will look clean and professional.
Borderless printing for professional-looking photos. Like yours. Direct.
The i450 printer brings you a new level of photo printing for the home: edge-to-edge true borderless printing, with the look and
feel of a traditional photograph. Now you can produce 4" x 6", 5" x 7" or 8.5" x 11" borderless prints** with stunning quality,
perfect for framing or the scrapbook. With Bubble Jet Direct printing,*** you can print with or without a computer—just connect a
compatible Canon digital camera or digital camcorder to your i450 printer and print. Save yourself a trip to the local photo mini-
lab—produce great looking 4" x 6" prints in approximately 90 seconds.
Exclusive software makes photo and Web printing easier than ever.
The i450 printer supports the worldwide standard Exif 2.2 (Exchangeable Image Format File), so when an Exif-compliant
camera captures a photo, important camera settings and shooting conditions are saved in the JPEG image file. Our exclusive Easy-
PhotoPrint software analyzes the recorded data and automatically adjusts printer driver settings for optimum image processing.
To eliminate the trial and error of Web page printing, Canon includes Easy-WebPrint†
software. It’s fast and simple—pages print just as they’re seen on screen.
Beautiful Photos. Sharp Text.
