Canon Pixma iP4600 Photo Printer Overview
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. The new 5-color ink system - four dye-based inks and a pigment-based black ink - produces vivid colors and bold, black text. And Canon's patented print head technology creates beautiful, long-lasting photos with resolution up to 9600 x 2400 color dpi2
You can also print photos directly from a compatible digital camera or camera phone3 - no computer required! The two paper trays let you store both photo and plain paper, allowing you to automatically print 2-sided and save on costs. Quick Start lets you power up in seconds, and the Auto Photo Fix feature corrects red-eye and enhances your images.
Features
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.
