Canon i560 Series User manual

High speed and high performance.
The Canon i560 Desktop Photo Printer delivers fast, professional-level performance for the home—or home office. It achieves
speeds of up to 22 ppm in black* and up to 15 ppm in color*, along with a maximum resolution of 4800 x 1200 color dpi.**
Canon advanced MicroFine Droplet Technology™ uses a revolutionary nozzle system that ejects consistent prescribed-volume
droplets in sizes as small as 2 picoliters, for smoother, more photo-realistic images. It features a symmetrical print head design
with 1,600 nozzles to virtually eliminate color variance and banding problems typically found with conventional high-speed,
bi-directional printing. The i560 printer uses pigment-based black ink, for bold, sharp text on reports and e-mails. The i560
printer features the unique Canon Think Tank System™ that combines four individual ink tanks with intelligent ink management
for more efficient ink usage and lower printing costs.***
Print photos direct from select digital cameras.
With select Canon digital cameras you can enjoy printing photos without a computer using Bubble Jet Direct†technology. To
appeal to a wider digital camera audience, PictBridge†direct printing technology has been developed as the next step in PC-free
photo printing. Simply connect any PictBridge-compatible digital camera or camcorder to the convenient front-panel Direct Print
Port and print! The i560 printer enables you to print edge-to-edge, true borderless photos with the look and feel of traditional
photographs. A 4" x 6" borderless print takes only about 50 seconds*.Produce enlargements—up to a breathtaking 8.5" x 11"—
and you’ll see your photo memories come to life in vivid color and precise detail.
Photo and Web printing made easy.
The included Easy-PhotoPrint†† software, an Exif Print 2.2 compatible application, makesitsimple to print brilliant digital photos.
It faithfully reproduces the colors digitally captured, while improving image quality by virtually eliminating “Photo Noise” and
boosting color saturation with “Vivid Photo” driver enhancements. The result: more perfect-looking photos that you can’t wait to
share. Canon developed Easy-WebPrint†† software to help eliminate the hassles of Web printing. Now, Web pages are automatically
formatted, so they’ll print properly with full color and without trimming off the right-hand margin.
