Take Your Office on the Road with Canon's New Portable iP100 Printer

PRLog (Press Release) - Jun 24, 2008 -
When the road calls, Canon's new PIXMA iP100 portable inkjet printer is the ultimate travel companion, providing professional-quality documents and photos from any location.  Successor to the highly acclaimed PIXMA iP90V, the new model is designed for mobile businesspeople and busy students looking for a portable printer that combines convenience with superior quality.

"Flexibility with work and study is now more important than ever, making the PIXMA iP100 a valuable printing solution for our busy lives," stated K.C Lu, Brand Manager, PIXMA, Consumer Imaging Products Group, Canon Australia. "Its sleek design and print quality allows for easy portability and endless possibilities wherever you are, whether at home, hotel room or car."

Pack and print with PIXMA

The light and compact PIXMA iP100 printer is small enough to fit in a work travel bag and a great accompaniment to the professional or personal laptop.  Leave the power cords at home the next time you need to travel. The PIXMA iP100 includes a battery for added mobility, enabling users to print out approximately 290* documents on one three-hour charge, perfect for finishing a last-minute report at the airport or a university assignment in the library. A new optional in-car adaptor unit even allows for recharging the PIXMA iP100 via your vehicle, while the optional Bluetooth adaptor delivers prints wirelessly from your laptop.

Office quality on the go

For its strides in portability, the PIXMA iP100 printer certainly does not lose out in performance and speed.  Boasting 9600dpi high-speed printing, black and white documents can be quickly printed up to 20 ppm and colour at 14 ppm to meet those tight deadlines.  When it's time to share photos, the PIXMA iP100 includes four colour photo printing for lab-quality results, and can quickly print in approximately 55 seconds for a borderless 6"x4" photos. PictBridge on the PIXMA iP100 allows for photo printing from compatible cameras and mobile phones, while Auto Image Fix brings out the best in those happy snaps.
