First Mobile Printer To Deliver Up to 9600 x 2400 dpi1 Photo Capabilities in a Small, Stylish Design, Offers Many Benefits to the Mobile Professional

LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., April 14, 2008 – Today’s mobile professional has more pressure than ever to be able to conduct business almost anywhere. The new PIXMA iP100 Mobile Printer from Canon U.S.A., a leader in digital imaging, not only can address printing needs on-the-go, but can also deliver high-quality text and graphics for printing a last-minute business presentation. It affords users the ability to print beautiful borderless color photos from the car or even at the beach. Continuing Canon’s history of outstanding quality in the mobile printer category, this printer has increased color resolution with faster printing speeds than previous models, while offering a number of accessories that make it easier to conduct business outside of the office. The lightweight Canon PIXMA iP100 Mobile Printer fits easily onto a desk with limited space or into a carry-on making it the perfect laptop companion for business or personal travel.

With size being just one-half of the story, today’s on-the-go professional demands the highest level of quality and convenience to meet the demands of business. The PIXMA iP100 Mobile Printer’s new sleek and stylish design has a number of new exclusive features including increased color resolution to a maximum 9600 x 2400 dpi1, the first-ever mobile printer to have a minimum one picoliter droplet size, and increased print speed as well.

The overall size of the pigment black ink tank has been increased by 50%, reducing the risk of running out of ink during a last-minute project. A Canon first in the mobile printer category will be the addition of Auto Image Fix technology. When using a laptop, this technology automatically analyzes and categorizes the scenes in photographs and optimizes print output for each individual scene in accordance with the scene type, such as Portrait, Scenery, Snapshot, etc.
