Canon i900D - Professional Quality Photo Printing

The Canon i900D Photo Printer is the successor to the S830D Photo Printer and is designed for today's digital photographers that need fast, high-quality prints at home or work - with or without the use of a computer. The i900d features 4800 x 1200 dpi print resolution thanks to its microscopic, 2-picoliter ink droplet size that sets new standards for professional photo printing. With the i900D you can print without a computer. Remove your flash memory card from your digicam and put it in the printer's front-mounted card slots. Select the desired image(s) to print on the large 2-inch color LCD and press the PRINT button. Or connect any Bubble Jet Direct or PictBridge-compatible digital camera or camcorder to the convenient front-panel Direct Print Port, and print!

You can choose standard 4" x 6" prints or enlarge your favorite photos to either 5" x 7" or 8.5" x 11" - perfect for framing. The included 4" x 6" photo paper tray attaches to the auto sheet feeder, so you'll always have your choice of paper ready for printing. The Canon i900D features photo printing speeds of approximately 75 seconds for a 4" x 6" borderless photo and approximately 3 minutes for an 8.5" x 11" borderless photo (using Canon Photo Paper Pro and High quality color setting.) The i900d supports borderless photo printing in 4" x 6", 5" x 7" and letter sizes all without the need to trim the borders or tear off perforations.

Individual Ink Tanks -- The i900d employs Canon's hallmark Canon Think Tank System. This unique technology that Canon invented, offers users a cost performance advantage, especially when printing photos. End-users only replace the individual color ink tank they have depleted which helps to eliminate ink waste. In addition, the Canon Think Tank System has an optical ink sensor that triggers an on-screen warning so that users are alerted when the ink has run low.

Shipping with the i900d printer is the latest version of Easy PhotoPrint and Easy- PhotoPrint Plus, a web-printing application called Easy-WebPrint, PhotoRecord, PhotoStitch, ZoomBrowser and ImageBrowser. This version of Easy-PhotoPrint Plus has borderless photo printing for 4"x6", 5"x7" and 8.5" x 11" paper sizes. The printer driver features a Photo Noise Reduction function that helps reduce speckle noise often found in blue areas such as the sky. To further enhance your photos, Canon has developed additional software technology designed to reduce red-eye problems and smooth out facial imperfections. Easy-PhotoPrint also includes Exif technology and is available for Windows and Mac.

Mechanics & Performance

The i900d is a compact and stylish looking, gray and silver colored printer that will easily fit into your computer workspace. Setup is straight forward and can be accomplished by following the steps outlined on the included big page of directions. You first install the removable print head assembly and then unwrap and install the six ink tanks (more on this on the next page), install the software and then connect the USB cable and turn on the printer. Windows finishes loading the drivers and within a minute or two you're up and printing. In actual use the i900d is so quiet that you almost don't even know that it's working.

The i900d supports the new USB 2.0 Hi-Speed standard for Windows PCs and the slower USB 1.1 standard which is compatible with older Windows systems and Mac OS 8.6-9.X and OS X v 10.1 or later. This is no parallel port connection, only USB.

Included with the i900d is this handy 4x6" paper tray that attaches over the top of the existing sheet feeder. It doesn't block the sheet feeder so you can have both letter size and 4x6" media in the printer at the same time. You simply rotate the knob and the 4x6" tray is lowered into feed position. When you want to print on letter size media rotate the knob again to raise the 4x6" paper tray.

Print from Memory Cards

A veritable stand-alone print shop, the i900D features a built-in two-inch LCD display for easy viewing, editing and printing without the need for a computer.

You can preview your pictures on the color LCD and then set the desired printing options with easy-to-follow onscreen menus. Then select the # of prints you want and press the PRINT button, that's it.

The onboard card slots that permit direct printing from a wide variety of popular media including CompactFlash, MicroDrive, SmartMedia, Memory Stick (excluding PRO) SD Card and Multimedia Card.

Memory Stick Duo, xD PictureCard and mini SD Card can be used with the addition of a optional adaptor sold separately.

You can also use the printer's card slots to transfer image data to the host computer when connected via the USB port. No need for a separate card reader, use Windows Explorer to copy your images to your hard drive - fast and simple.

PictBridge Compatibility

PictBridge compatibility means you can plug many of the latest digital cameras directly into the front-mounted USB connector and make photo prints without the need of a computer. Shown here we have the Powershot SD10 connected and ready to make prints. You can also connect any of the Canon Bubblejet Direct compatible digital cameras to this connector too.

After connecting your camera you will see a "SET" icon in the upper left corner of your playback image on the camera's LCD screen. Scroll to the photo you want to print and then press the SET button to access the PictBridge menu.

The PictBridge menu lets you select borderless, bordered, time/date stamp, # of copies, paper size, and you can adjust the trim of the image to fit the 3:2 aspect ratio of 4x6" print media.

Select your options and then hit the SET button to print - that's it, quick and simple, "no-computer needed" printing of your digicam images.
