Hi Nightpiper,
A i9950 killer from the PIXMA series? You mean an A3+ photo printer will be available from the PIXMA line-up? Woah... the i9950 is pretty incredible with its speed and 8-colour photo printing already... What's next? 10 colours? Heheheh! ![]() |

Eh... I think Canon "smoke" me leh... I called them asking about the "secret" A3 photo printer, but they say no A3 model for the PIXMA series. Since the new A4 PIXMA printers can print on CDs, maybe the A3 printers can print on LDs? Heheheheheh!

![]() There's still the 5000 and 8000 series that's not released, maybe those are the A3/A3+ models. ![]()

SO far, Canon only bring in printers till 4000R. There are also 5000, 6000 and 8500. Took from Canon USA - This powerhouse printer combines next-generation print head technology with advanced 5-color printing, for fast, high-definition photos. Canon Full-photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering (FINE) uses a high-performance 1,856-nozzle print head that ejects precise, consistent droplets as small as 1 picoliter. The result? An amazing resolution of up to 9600 x 2400 color dpi,1 for detail and clarity unmatched by comparable printers. Plus, the ContrastPLUS™ 5-color ink system - with four dye-based inks plus a pigment-based black ink - produces true-life photos, along with laser-quality text. Your output will simply amaze you. I must say that I like the PIXMA design alot. I think it looks cool. |

Hahaha... yah... tokking about the i865... my friend bought one for his office... and he bought the optional duplex unit and optional paper cassette tray... maybe I should buy a PIXMA printer which has ALL these goodies BUILT-IN for less than a basic i865, just to agitate him! Hahahaha!
9600x2400 dpi? 1 picolitre ink droplet? Really... the technological advancements today are astounding... ![]() |

Canon Pixma range almost same as Japanese Pixus range. Pixma here is A4 range, A3 i9950 is same as Japanese Pixus 9900. Top of the line still 8 colour.
Eg. Top of line Pixus (maybe same as yet to be released Pixma 8500) http://cweb.canon.jp/pixus/lineup/ip8600/index.html |
