Optimum Image Generating System: The Optimum Image Generating (OIG)
System utilizes two major
technologies implemented in the
PIXMA Pro-100. The first is a
sophisticated mixing balance of
inks determined from numerous
ink combinations and advanced
analysis. During this analysis,
the OIG System carefully
calculates the best results for
each print mode and paper type
used while looking at various
image factors including color
reproduction, tonal gradations,
black density, low graininess,
glossiness, anti-bronzing and
anti-metamerism. These critical
ink balancing principles are
derived from Canon's expertise
in imaging technology, as well
as the familiar colors of life
that people see and remember on
a daily basis. The second is the
balancing of color reproduction, tonal gradations, and uniform glossiness.
Resolution: Canon's Full-photolithography Inkjet Nozzle
Engineering (FINE) uses a high-performance print head with an amazing 6,144
nozzles, ejecting precise, consistent droplets as small as 3 picoliters. The
result is 4800 x 2400 dpi max resolution for color and black & white prints producing richer images with improved brilliancy, rivaling that of positive film.
Built-in Wi-Fi and Ethernet Connectivity: The Pro-100 has
built-in Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n) and an RJ-45 Ethernet port to allow you to place
the printer where it's convenient, especially when there isn't room near your
computer. Multiple users can print from several computers, either wirelessly or
networked together.
USB Connectivity: The printer has two USB inputs: a Type B
Hi-Speed USB port for connecting your computer to the printer, and a Type A USB
"PictBridge" port for printing directly from a compatible digital camera,
camcorder, or camera phone, without a computer.
Apple AirPrint: The printer is compatible with Apple
AirPrint, which enables you to print photos, email, Web pages, and documents
directly from your Apple device to the printer without installing a driver.
Functionality requires an iPad, iPhone 3GS or later or iPod touch 3rd generation
or later device running iOS 4.2 or later, and an AirPrint-enabled printer
connected to the same network as the iOS device.
PictBridge: You can
connect this printer directly to any PictBridge-compliant digital camera. The PictBridge standard allows you to connect a PictBridge-compliant
digital camera directly to a PictBridge-compliant printer and make prints,
regardless of brand.
Print Sizes: The Pro-100 can
make various sizes of bordered or borderless photos. It can print 4" x 6", 5" x 7",
8" x 10", 8.5" x 11" (letter), 11" x 14" (legal),
11" x 17", and 13" x 19" sized photos. It can also print letter and legal sized documents.
Paper Type: The Pro-100 printer is compatible with many
varieties of Canon photo and fine art paper. In addition, you can use papers
from numerous non-Canon brands. Plain paper, including recycled paper, from 17
lb to 28 lb can be used as well. The Canon paper recommended for the Pro-100
include:
- Photo Paper Pro Platinum (PT-101)
- Photo Paper Plus Glossy II (PP-201)
- Photo Paper Plus Semi-gloss (SG-201)
- Photo Paper Plus Luster (LU-101)
- Matte Photo Paper (MP-101)
- Fine Art Photo Rag (FA-PR1)
- Fine Art Museum Etching (FA-ME1)
Dual Paper Path: The Pro-100 has two paper sources. The rear
tray (or "auto sheet feeder") allows you to load up to 150 sheets of plain paper,
up to 20 sheets
of photo paper, up to 10 sheets of Letter/8" x 10" photo paper, or 1 sheet of
A3+ photo paper. Single sheets or particularly thick paper up to 14" x 17" can be fed from the
Manual Feeder.
Disc Label Printing: In addition to conventional printing,
the Pro-100 has a tray that allows you to print directly onto the printable
surface of a CD or DVD. You can use standard sized 12 cm or the smaller 8 cm
discs (with supplied adapter). The discs used must be specifically compatible
with inkjet printers. The printable area of the disc excludes the 1 mm area from
the internal and external diameters of the label.
Print Speed: The printer can produce an 8" x 10" bordered color photo in approximately
51 seconds. An 11'' x 14" color and grayscale photo can be
printed in approximately 1 minute and 30 seconds. The USB Hi-Speed interface enables fast data transfers
from your computer, reducing total print time.
Grayscale: This printer allows you to
print full-color digital photos in grayscale. The printer uses black and gray
ink for grayscale printing together with the minimum amount of color ink
required. This prevents color inconsistency in grayscale photos. In addition,
you can print grayscale photos with a cool bluish tint or a warm reddish tint.
Ink Level: You can confirm the ink level using the printer
status monitor, displayed every time you print from your computer. You can also
confirm ink status using the ink lamps on the printer. LEDs above each ink tank
will flash slowly or quickly to indicate whether the ink is low or out.
