Disclaimers

 

1.

 

Ink droplets can be placed with a pitch of 1/4800 inch at minimum. 

2.

 

Up to 100 Years’ Life in a Photo Album when printed with ChromaLife100 ink on selected Canon photo papers. Kept in a photo album, shut out light and air (gas), temperature 23 degrees and 50% 
humidity. Predicted value from the accelerated test. Result may vary based on individual environmental factors. For more information, please visit canon.com.au/ChromaLife100 

3.

 

Print and copy speed dependent on system configuration, image/document complexity, type of paper used, software, print mode and does not take into account data processing time on host computer.  

4.

 

PictBridge camera direct and mobile phone printing requires PictBridge compatible digital cameras and phones in order to function. Check with your manufacturer or users guide to determine PictBridge

5.

 

USB 2.0 Hi-Speed performance requires Windows Vista, Windows XP with Service Pack 1 or  Windows 2000 with Service Pack 4 with pre-installed USB 2.0 Hi-Speed port. 

 
* Ink yield calculation is based on printing Canon 24 standard digital images on Photo Paper Plus Glossy (6” x 4” borderless print) with default settings in Windows XP driver and printing on Plain Paper (A4-ISO/IEC 
24712). The figure above is an average value, measured when printing continuously using the ink immediately after it is unsealed, until the ink is out. Ink yield may vary depending on photos/documents printed, 
applications software used, print mode and type of paper used. This should be used as a guide only and does not take into account ink that might be used for head cleaning or head refreshing to maintain printer 
performance. Please visit our website for further details.
