Canon I455 User Manual

Advanced printer technology delivers both speed and quality.

The Canon i455 Desktop Photo Printer delivers professional-looking photos and enables easy Web page printing. It uses pigment-based black ink for laser-like text on reports and e-mails along with high intensity color inks for brilliant photos. To further improve color reproduction, Canon advanced MicroFine Droplet Technology™ uses an innovative 1,088 nozzle print head that ejects consistent, prescribed-volume droplets. This technology delivers a maximum resolution of 4800 x 1200 color dpi* with droplets as small as 2 picoliters for improved photo details.

Introducing PictBridge direct printing technology.

With select Canon digital cameras you can enjoy printing photos without a computer using Bubble Jet Direct** technology. To appeal to a wider digital camera audience, PictBridge** direct printing technology has been developed as the next step in PC-free photo printing. Simply connect any PictBridge-compatible digital camera or camcorder directly to your i455 printer and print! You can even select paper size, layout and other settings right on your camera’s display. With the versatile i455 printer you can print edge-to-edge, true borderless photos with the look and feel of traditional photographs. Print 4 x 6, 5 x 7 or 8.5 x 11 in. borderless photos with stunning quality, perfect for framing or the scrapbook. Produce great-looking 4" x 6" borderless prints in approx. 93 seconds,*** without ever leaving your home.

Canon software tools for Photo and Web printing.

The included Easy-PhotoPrint†software, an Exif Print 2.2 compatible application, makes it simple to print brilliant digital photos. It faithfully reproduces the colors digitally captured, while improving image quality by virtually eliminating “Photo Noise” and boosting color saturation with “Vivid Photo” driver enhancements. The result: more perfect-looking photos that you can’t wait to share. Canon developed Easy-WebPrint

software to help eliminate the hassles of Web printing. Now, Web pages are automatically

formatted, so they’ll print properly with full color and without trimming off the right-hand margin.
