Canon Debuts Two Top Tier Photo Printers Featuring Six Color Printing, High Speed Capability and Amazing Affordability

Business Wire, Sept 8, 2003

Compatible with both Windows(R) and Mac platforms (Windows XP, Windows 2000/Millenium Edition/98 and Mac OS (8.6 to 9.x)(4) and Mac OS X v 10.2.1 to 10.2.x.), the i900D and i960 Photo Printers also include the PhotoRecord(4) (Windows) Zoom Browser EX(4) (Windows) and ImageBrowser(4) (Mac) image management software, and PhotoStitch(4) (Windows and Mac) that makes composite images from shots taken separately.

Time Saving, Paper Saving, Cost Saving Options

Adding to the flexibility, efficiency and high performance of the i960 photo printer are an optional auto duplex printing unit (DPU-10) that automatically reroutes the page for properly formatted two-sided printing. Both timesaving and paper saving, the Auto Duplex feature also allows for a wider printable area than other duplex-capable printers. Additionally an optional high volume, 250 sheet paper feed cassette (PFC-10) that attaches to the base of the i960 photo printer increases the paper load capacity to 400 sheets at a time.

Shipping in October, the i900D and i960 printers carry an estimated street price of $249.99 and $199.99 respectively
