Canon’s new entry-level PIXMA All-In-One debuts ChromaLife100+ for longer-lasting prints

PIXMA MP240
Amstelveen, The Netherlands, 26th August, 2008: Canon has bolstered its entry-level line-up of Inkjet All-In-One printers with the addition of the PIXMA MP240. The stylish device offers print, scan and copy functions with PictBridge in a compact form at a more affordable price point.

Chief among the improvements to be incorporated into the PIXMA MP240 is Canon’s enhanced ChromaLife100+ system, delivering longer lasting, more vibrant prints. The new system combines the latest FINE Cartridges with a 4800x1200dpi, 2pl FINE print head, new ink and genuine Canon photo paper to deliver substantial improvements in print longevity.

Improved ink system
Canon’s new FINE Cartridges bring outstanding colour reproduction and clarity, with one cartridge using dye-based CMY colours that give great, glossy photo prints and a Black pigment ink cartridge for crisp text reproduction. The microscopic 2pl ink droplets also help to achieve smooth, grain-free photo prints, making the most of your digital images.

Ease of use
Digital photographers will find the PIXMA MP240 ideal, with its PictBridge compatibility allowing speedy direct printing from the camera without the need to switch on a PC. With Quick Start the PIXMA MP240 is turned on and ready to use in seconds, while the self-opening paper tray will automatically open to collect your prints if closed. There’s no need to wait around, either, with a photolab quality borderless 10x15cm print ready in approx. 45 seconds.

Further enhancing the ease-of-use aspect is the inclusion of an updated version of the Canon Easy-PhotoPrint EX software. The new software contains the versatile Auto Photo Fix for automatic optimisation of your images via an intelligent portrait/scene analysis function that now also includes automatic red-eye correction.
High-resolution 1200dpi scanning is also available through the bundled
MP Navigator EX software. This user-friendly program has a new feature called Auto Scan Mode that assesses the document or photo to be scanned and adjusts the resolution and crop accordingly.

Key features:

  • Print, copy and scan
  • Photolab quality, 10x15cm borderless prints in approximately 45 seconds
  • PictBridge
  • New FINE cartridges with 2pl ink droplets and up to 4800dpi resolution
