Canon announces new Pixma printers
And scanners, and a photo printer
Canon has announced a veritable slew of new printers and scanners, including the new Pixma range, two CanoScan and the Selphy Cp800 photo printer.
Canon has a well-established brand in the printer world and the latest Pixmar range brings 'some of the most dynamic models in the market' according to the company.
"With the new Intelligent Touch System, Full HD Movie Print Function and direct Flickr access from Easy-PhotoPrint EX software all enabling you to increase your creativity, anything is possible. The new PIXMA range does it all in unrivalled style."
Flagshiprinters
The flagship printers are the new Pixma MG8150 and the Pixma MG6150 – two All-In-Ones that Canon thinks look good and are easy to use.
"Boasting a sleek, deep black exterior that adds style to any space, both models come to life when switched on, instantly illuminating the TFT display and a large central control panel that guides users through a simple, step-by-step interface using Canon's intuitive new Intelligent Touch System.
"All models in the new range feature Canon's groundbreaking new Full HD Movie Print Function, an incredible new software that allows users to print their favourite moments from full HD movie captured on Canon's Digital SLR range or HD movie captured on Canon Digital Still Cameras."
