An 8 color ink system broadens your spectrum.
The i9900 Photo Printer features the 8 color ChromaPLUS ink system designed to extend your color reproduction range signifi-
cantly and reproduce colors that before now could only be printed professionally. The addition of red and green ink tanks will
make it possible to print richer images with improved brilliancy and more true-to-life colors. The Canon Think Tank System™
featuring individual ink tanks combined with an intelligent ink management system lets you replace only the color that runs out,
rather than an entire multi-ink cartridge containing unused ink, reducing printing costs
when ink levels are low, so you can drop in a new tank and avoid running out of ink unexpectedly.
* Photo print speed based on default printer driver mode using Canon Photo Paper Pro. Print speed will vary based on
system configuration, software, document complexity, print mode and page coverage.
