The PIXMA tradition carries on
» The Canon PIXMA iP4200 carries on the tradition of high quality printing with Advanced Media Handling.
» The PIXMA revolution continues with yet another amazing technology, combining photo perfection, blazing speed and the new ChromaLife100.
» With the ChromaLife100, you are not only ensured with perfect photos, but also that that will last for a lifetime!

FINETM Speed and Lab-quality prints
» Canon’s Full-photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering (FINETM) patented technology uses cutting edge print head that ejects consistent, precise ink droplets as microscopic as 1 picolitre.
» Produces impressive maximum of 9600 colour dpi* for dazzling photos and outstanding detail.
» Coupled with the ContrastPLUS 5-Colour Ink System for that brilliant life-like photo print.
» Special pigment black ink has a higher resistance to smudging when handling or highlighting the document.
 
»
It also improves marker stability, greatly reducing smearing and bleeding.
» First in its class to print a speedy 4x6 borderless photo-lab quality prints in mere 51 seconds*1

Fool Proof Ink Management
» With the new smart LED ink tank system, you never have to worry about running out of ink while printing or printing awful-looking pictures due to incorrect placement of inks.
» LED indicator flashes when ink is running low and will flash even faster if the ink tank is empty.
 



» If a new ink tank is not properly installed at the correct slot, the LED indicator will also flash.

Advanced Media Handling
» 2-Way Paper Feeding allows you to keep photo paper stored in one tray and regular paper in the other without the need to switch between the two manually.
» Or load both feeder for high volume printing of up to 300 sheets
 
» With PIXMA's Auto Duplex Printing, you can save time and money printing and copying on both sides of paper without the hassle of turning your printouts manually.
 
» Forget about sticker labels! Print content listings or customise your CD/DVD with the built-in tray guide.
 

Direct Connections
» Connect your Bubble Jet Direct or PictBridge compatible camera or video camcorder to print beautiful photos directly!
 
» USB 2.0 Hi-Speed interface enables fastest photo transfers.

Memories are meant to last forever
» Canon’s new ChromaLife100 technology ensures your precious photos are as good as professional lab quality and that they last as long as 100 years*2 too!
» ChromaLife100 technology is achieved through a synergy of PIXMA’s FINETM print head technology and genuine Canon inks with several types of Canon photo papers*3.
 




30 Year Light Fastness
» Prints will resist fading for 30 years*4 when printed on several types of Canon photo paper, stored under a glass frame and displayed indoors, away from direct sunlight.
 

10 Year Gas Fastness
» Certain gases in the air are responsible for causing prints to fade; ChromaLife 100 protects your prints from the effects of these gases for up to a decade!
 

Greater Colour Migration Resistance
» High temperature and humidity can cause ink migration resulting in colour changes and softening of details.
» Canon's new ChromaLife100 technology virtually eliminates such problems.
 




Easy-PhotoPrint
» The powerful and easy to use software delivers professional-looking digital photos in sizes perfect for framing and sending to family and friends.

PhotoRecord
» Create your very own photo album by adding text and images from clip art and even re-sizing your images.
 

Easy-WebPrint
» Easy-WebPrint software allows Windows® users to print web pages, not only in full colour, but also without losing information so nothing gets cropped!

100-years life in an album:
<Criteria for estimation>
The permanence presented above is an estimated using an accelerated dark storage tests designed for in silver-halide photos (ISO/FDIS 18909). Samples are printed with an optical density of 1.0 (each black, cyan, magenta, yellow) and kept in a controlled environment of high temperature and 50% relative humidity. The test environment is designed to accelerated colour fading. The rate of the decrease in the optical density and the rate of yellow discolouration of the paper is kept in an environment of 23°C 50% RH.
 
30-year lightfastness:
<Criteria for estimation>
When displayed in a glass frame in a typical indoor space (estimating 500 lux / 100 hours per day) without direct sunlight.
Estimated lightfastness is made under the following test conditions. Light source: White fluorescent light 70,000 lux; Temperature: 24°C; Humidity: 60% RH; A 2mm thick glass is placed on the sample with an air gap between the glass and the sample during accelerated testing.
 
10-year gas fastness:
<Criteria for estimation>
Estimated gas fastness is made under the following test conditions: Temperature (24°C) and humidity (60% RH) are controlled in an environment of mixed gases of O3,NOx and SOx . The ratio of the gases is typical to indoor air composition (O3 : NOx : SOx = 3: 19: 1) with 100 times concentration in order to accelerate fading.
 
<Criteria for estimated of print longevity>
Estimated for image permanence are made using the Wilhelm Imaging Research, Inc. Endpoint criteria as follows;
The point where monochromatic/ reflective optical density shows loss of 20-35% (figure set respectively for each color, starting density of 1.0).
The point where the difference in color balance of yellow, magenta and cyan (each component in composite black) reaches 12-18%.
 
<Tips>
Note for printing and displaying photos: The image permanence estimates presented above may vary depending on display / storage conditions. The expressed number of years estimates are the result of stimulated, accelerated tests conducted by Canon Inc. and do not represent a product guarantee.
 
Making your printed images last longer: Light, environmental gases, high temperature and humidity can accelerate colour fading. When displaying your photographs, avoid high intensity lighting and use of glass-filtered frames. Photos stored in the dark, using archival quality albums or storage materials, will tend to last longer than photos exposed to light. Avoid high temperatures and humidity to promote the image permanence of your photos.
