Canon ships new multi-function printer
Canon
has begun shipping its higher-end PIXMA MP960 all-in-one multi-function
printer with a flatbed scanner and copying capability. The device
features seven ink tanks to achieve quality rivaling that of photo
labs, according to Canon, and the printer completes a best-quality 4 x
6-inch photo in about 35 seconds. The flatbed scanner achieves 4800 x
4800 dpi while minimizing light distortion, offering auto exposure
correction as a copier to prevent the transparency effect when working
with thin pages. Unifying all three roles is the previously introduced
scroll wheel interface that controls the visual menu system on the
MP960’s built-in 3.5-inch LCD, according to Electronista. The PIXMA
MP960 is shipping for $400.
