Premium Photo Printer with Individual Ink Tanks and Built-In Auto Duplex.
Photo lab-quality 4" x 6" borderless prints in 20 seconds1? Yes, you can do that, and much more.

Speed & Quality
Long-Lasting Beautiful Photos—ChromaLife100+ system delivers vibrant photos that last up to 300 years⁴.

Five High-Performance Ink Tanks—The 5-color ink system consists of four dye-based inks plus a pigment-based black ink, producing exceptional photos and crisp, laser-quality text. You replace only the color that runs out, rather than a multi-color tank containing unused ink.

Spectacular Resolution—This stylish home printer delivers a resolution of up to 9600 x 2400 color dpi², with droplets as small as 1 picoliter for spectacular photo detail and document clarity. And you won't have to wait long for your exceptional photos. A beautiful borderless 4" x 6" photo takes approx. 20 seconds¹.

Ease of Use
Auto Duplex Print —The two paper trays let you store photo paper in one, plain paper in the other, so you're always ready to print either photos or documents. Plus, you can automatically print 2-sided to save paper.

Automatic Image Optimization—Just one of the features on the included Easy-PhotoPrint EX software is Auto Photo Fix, which optimizes your images for such factors as skin tone, white balance and brightness, and makes red-eye corrections.
