Canon PIXMA photo printers
Important photographs still need to be printed, and for that Canon has introduced three new PIXMA printers. Professionals will likely prefer the portable iP90v, which has a maximum color resolution of 4800x1200dpi, and a speed of up to 12 color pages per minute (ppm) -- though a lab-quality 4x6" photo should take about 81 seconds. The printer also has a built-in infrared port, and can print directly from cameras using PictBridge, or any Bluetooth device using an optional kit. Other kits exist to extend battery life or charge the printer in a car. The iP90v will cost $250 and ship in April.
Conversely, the iP1800 and iP3300 are cheaper and have similar or better performance, but are meant to stay on a computer desk. The 3300 can print a 4x6 in 47 seconds; meanwhile, the 1800 will print the same in 70 seconds, with a top color speed of 16ppm. Both printers will arrive in March, priced at $80 for the 3300 and $50 for the 1800.
