Whether working from the home office, helping a child with his/her school project or simply printing out pictures from a family trip, Canon provides solutions that fit consumers lifestyles in look, feel, design and functionality. The Canon PIXMA MP180 All-in-One printer provides solutions for business productivity and photo creativity. With a sleek, slanted design featuring rounded corners and a space-saving low profile, Canon is kicking it up a notch with sharp new designs for the masses. As more and more consumers begin to familiarize themselves with the benefits of an AIO for the home, the demands go beyond just having the best technology. Ease of use and reliability have come to the forefront.

Home office
"With home-office AIO printers becoming everyday household items and digital photography's popularity increasing by leaps and bounds, Canon has created a new generation of multi-function printers that further links the photographic world to that of the home office," stated Yukiaki Hashimoto, senior vice president and general manager of the consumer imaging group at Canon U.S.A., Inc. "The Canon MP180 All-In-One unit brings us one step closer to harmonizing printing functionality and performance with imaging-excellence and a sense of home decor/style."

Price and Print speed
Value Plus Performance Equals a Market Standout At an estimated selling price of $99.99, the Canon PIXMA MP180 Photo AIO offers fast, easy-to-use features with the convenience of direct photo printing in all the popular sizes from wallet to 8.5"x 11" prints. Now Canon even offers ready-to-frame 8"x 10" prints that require no trimming before framing. With microscopic ink droplets as small as two picoliters, and resolution as high as 4800 x 1200 color dpi this photo AIO can print borderless photo lab quality prints, while also producing copies at a maximum rate of 22 black-and-white and 17 color copies per minute. By incorporating CanonFull-photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering (FINE) technology, consumers can produce virtually grain-free photos with the same look and feel of a traditional photo.

Copy and Print
All new additions to the Canon AIO line-up employ advanced copy technology to help give the user amazing reproductions of original images and documents. Dual Color Gamut Processing Technology improves color accuracy by independently controlling brightness, hue, and other elements to make sure that there are minimal differences between the original and the copy. In addition, with Text and Image Separation Technology, the system can actually differentiate text from an image, making black text and fine lines darker and sharp. Now when black text appears over an image, the text on the following generations of copies can be virtually as clear as the first. These technologies plus hardware improvements in scanning and printing can help make a copy almost indistinguishable from the original.

Canon ChromaLife100 System
The newest Canon PIXMA MP180 AIO uses the Canon ChromaLife100 system, including the FINE print head technology for great photo printing. When using select genuine Canon photo papers and inks, prints can resist fading for up to 100 years when stored in an archival quality photo album. The up to 100-year-lifespan rivals that of many traditional film based photos, long considered by consumers to be the benchmark for image permanence. Prints produced on Canon Photo Paper Pro with ChromaLife100-compatible inks have an up to ten-year gas fastness when exposed to open air. ChromaLife100 prints when created using genuine Canon photo paper like Photo Paper Pro or Photo Paper Plus Glossy, have up to 30-year light fastness when displayed under glass.

Inkjet Nozzle
Launched globally by Canon in 1999, the Canon Full-photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering (FINE) advanced print head technology is one of the keys to the impressive speed and high photo quality in Canon PIXMA photo all-in-one printers. Canon FINE uses a groundbreaking high-performance multi-nozzle print engine that ejects consistent and microscopic ink droplets. The results are high-resolution photos with detail and clarity in less time.
