The Digital Photographer's Choice.
Exceptional photo performance.
The Canon i960 Photo Printer offers digital photographers the superior performance,
high speed and superb quality that complements the capabilities of higher-end digital
cameras. Canon advanced MicroFine Droplet Technology™ features 3,072 precisely
machined nozzles ejecting consistent prescribed-volume droplets in a microscopic, 2
picoliter size, for ultra-fine, ultra-fast printing. Example? You can produce a stunning
edge-to-edge 4" x 6" borderless print with the look and feel of a traditional
photograph in approximately 37 seconds*. The i960 Photo Printer achieves a
maximum resolution of 4800 x 1200 dpi**, for breathtaking detail and color fidelity,
with over 5.7 million droplets per square inch. To help reduce ink waste, the Canon
Think Tank System™ was developed featuring six individual ink tanks coupled with an
intelligent ink management system. You'll replace only the color that runs out, rather
than the entire cartridge - a real cost advantage when printing high-intensity color
photos***. A USB 2.0 Hi-Speed†† interface enables super-fast photo transfers from
your computer.
Advanced photo printing.
With direct photo printing, you can print without a computer. Simply connect any
Bubble Jet Direct††† or PictBridge-compatible††† digital camera or camcorder to the
convenient front-panel Direct Print Port, and print! You can choose standard 4" x 6"
prints or enlarge your favorite photos to either 5" x 7" or 8.5" x 11" - perfect for
framing. The included 4" x 6" photo paper tray attaches to the auto sheet feeder, so
you'll always have your choice of paper ready for printing.
Vivid Photo and Red-Eye Reduction Technology.
The included Easy-PhotoPrint Plus**** and Easy-PhotoPrint*** software, Exif Print
2.2 compatible applications, makes it simple to print stunning 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. To further enhance your photos, Canon has developed
additional software technology designed to reduce red-eye problems and smooth out
facial imperfections. The result: more amazing looking photos that you can't wait to

share.
