Canon Europe announced the expansion of its refillable ink tank colour printer range, with two new printers designed for high volume photo printing, the three-in-one PIXMA G640 and the single function PIXMA G540.
The PIXMA G640 and G540 use six dye-based inks, including two new dedicated red and grey dyes for a wider colour range, creating deeper shaded areas and richer colours for vibrant photos with strong contrast. Both models use FINE print head technology for enhanced print quality which reduces graininess and produces rich colours.
Amine Djouahra, Sales and Marketing Director at Canon Central and North Africa said: “With a FINE print head and set of six ChromaLife 100 dye-based inks, these models produce vivid, bold prints that any photo enthusiast would be proud of. Combined with the MegaTank ink bottles, which enable high-capacity printing, simple maintenance and enhanced media support, this is the ideal solution for photo printer shops who need to meet heavy print demands.”
With reduced colour shift across different media types, from double-sided matte to conventional glossy and semi-gloss paper, users are guaranteed consistently high-quality prints on any surface, Canon explained. Photography enthusiasts who want to unleash their creativity can print borderless photos up to A4 and choose from a range of media types such as Canon’s Magnetic Photo paper for personalising fridge magnets or Restickable Photo paper for decorating walls.
Designed to meet the high-volume printing demands of commercial photo printing shops, Canon’s latest inkjet printers feature MegaTank ink bottles, which deliver high page yields. One set of bottles can print around 3,800 4×6 photo prints, meaning fewer bottle refills, less downtime and reduced cost. Coupled with the ability to print a 4×6 photo in under 47 seconds and a 100-sheet rear feed for uninterrupted printing these models increase productivity.
With useful additions such as the user-replaceable FINE print head and maintenance cartridge, the PIXMA G640 and G540 make it easy for users to manage the device themselves and reduce downtime. Saving time and effort, the MegaTank ink bottles also feature a “fool-proof”, key-type nozzle to avoid any errors and require minimal effort to refill.
The Canon PIXMA G640 and G540 offer Wi-Fi connectivity so users can wirelessly connect their computers, cameras and smart devices and print their pictures directly via the Canon PRINT App, Mopria for Android or Apple AirPrint.
