Four new Canon Pixma inkjets prove printers can keep up at CES 2013

LAS VEGAS--Canon piggybacks on this morning's PowerShot N announcement with the introduction of four new Pixma inkjet printers. Flaunting larger-than-average duty cycles and shipped with high-capacity ink cartridges, the Pixma MX392, MX452, MX522, and MX922 all-in-ones all deliver copy, scan, and print functions for individuals and large work groups.

Canon focuses on professional media handling on these devices, combining stationary wireless printing with Google Cloud Printing for the mobile crowd, not to mention compatibility with the Canon Easy-PhotoPrint app for Android and iOS devices that lets users forgo a standalone digital camera for a Web-connected smartphone.

Three new Canon Pixma multifunctions target creatives

Canon just added three new Pixma multifunction printers to its arsenal of media devices that include Wi-Fi to match the company's 2012 point-and-shoot lineup, also announced today.

The announcement details the Pixma MX372, MX432, and MX512 that all feature 802.11n wireless pairing, but only the $150 MX512 lets users hook up to a network using an Ethernet port on the back.

Like past models, the Pixmas are all compatible with AirPrint and Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) that connects to compatible routers with a single button push.… Read more

Canon tries to reignite its 13x19 pro printing with Pixma Pro-1

I'm not sure why, but it feels like it's been far longer than two years since Canon released its previous desktop medium-format printer, the Pixma Pro9500 Mark II. Maybe that's because the Mark II was a minor update (some would say fix) to its predecessor, the Pro9500, which debuted more than five years ago. That model, and its even older sibling the Pro9000 Mark II--a printer that's fundamentally a redesigned version of the i9900--will remain in Canon's product line, to be joined by the Pixma Pro-1.… Read more

Canon Pixma MG5320 review: Capable performance with photocentric features

The Canon Pixma MG5320 is a worthwhile photo printer for families and work groups, and you get plenty of new features like HD Movie Print, fun photo filters, and Pixma Cloud Link that can provide new ways to bring your digital photos to life.

It's also a thinner shape that we're used to seeing from Canon, and foldable paper output trays reduce the overall footprint, so it's convenient for offices that don't have a lot of work space. The top of the printer has a 3-inch LCD display with a scroll dial for surfing the different application menus, and you also get 150-sheet paper input trays on the front and back of the unit--this is specifically convenient for amateur photographers because you can store standard 8.5x11-inch sheets in the bottom drawer and save the top one for photo paper. … Read more

Canon adds photobooth effects for two new Pixma multifunction printers

Fish-eye lenses and toy cameras make us all nostalgic for sun-bleached summer days, but they don't always take the best-resolution photos. Today, Canon adds two new Pixma photo printers to its multifunction lineup that let you add fun filters to any digital photo using Easy-PhotoPrint EX software.

PIXMA MG8220 and MG6220 All-in-Ones (AiO) are both optimized for the amateur photographer with features like built-in Wi-Fi for cordless setup, six individual ink tanks for vivid images and cartridge conservation, and Canon's convenient Intelligent Touch control panel that only illuminates the commands necessary for each function.

We got a first glimpse at this feature on the Canon Pixma MG6120 and found it intuitive and easy to use.

Both printers also make use of Canon's HD Movie Print that lets you pull still-frame snapshots out of videos recorded with compatible Canon HD video cameras, like the Canon PowerShot Elph 510 HS, just released today.

Finally, Canon's latest print technology, called Cloud Link, helps you pull images and documents to print straight from Picasa or Canon's online Image Gateway repository without ever going back to your computer. You can also download and print templates like calendars, to-do lists, stationary, and more--both printers offer Cloud Link printing out of the box, but you have to have a wireless network setup to access the content.

So what's the difference between the two? The MG6220 will debut at $200 when it goes on sale later this year, but the $100 increase for the MG8220 nets you an additional Film Adapter Unit for converting older and negatives to digital format of your choice, as well as a larger 3.5-inch LCD screen, and auto-duplexing for double-sided printing.
