New Canon Photo Printers

The Photo Marketing Show is in Las Vegas this week, and Canon has already announced three new photo printers. The Canon i9900 is an eight-color (red, green, cyan, magenta, yellow, black, photo cyan, and photo magenta) photo printer that can print photos up to 13 by 19 inches, with a maximum resolution of 4800 by 2400 dots per inch. The $499.99 printer won't be on the shelves until May, 2004. For photographers on the go, Canon's i80 mobile printer can handle edge-to-edge borderless printing in 4x6, 5x7, and 8.5x11 inch sizes, with resolutions up to 4800x1200dpi. The device is scheduled to ship in mid-February for $249.99; if you're willing to pay a bit more, you can add a power unit that plugs into a car cigarette lighter, or a lithium ion battery. Finally, for companies that need wide-format printing, Canon's ImagePrograf W6200 prints images up to 24x60 feet. This high-end printer is scheduled to ship in February for $3,495.
