Overview
The High-Performance Home Printer.
The Canon i550 Color Bubble Jet Printer delivers professional-level performance with the ultimate home-printer value. Speeds of up to 18 ppm in black and up to 11 ppm in color will let you race through Web pages and documents faster than you ever thought possible. Quality is amazing with an ultra-high resolution of up to 4800 x 1200 color dpi. The i550 printer even turns your desktop into a virtual photo lab-enjoy stunning borderless 4" x 6" prints in less than 48 seconds and photos in sizes up to 8.5" x 11". The i550 printer features the unique Canon Think Tank System™ that combines individual ink tanks with intelligent ink management for ease-of-use and lower printing costs.
Advanced printing technologies for better color reproduction at faster speeds.
The i550 printer features several Canon exclusives: Advanced MicroFine Droplet Technology™ dramatically improves resolution and detail. It has a revolutionary nozzle system that ejects consistent prescribed-volume droplets in ultra-fine sizes with remarkable accuracy. Precision Color Distribution Technology features a symmetrical printhead design with 1,088 nozzles to virtually eliminate color variance and banding problems typically found with conventional high-speed, bi-directional printing.
Easy-PhotoPrint software and Exif Print: smart photo processing of digital camera images.
The i550 printer supports Exif 2.2 (Exchangeable Image Format File), a new worldwide standard for higher quality digital photos, and features exclusive Canon Easy-PhotoPrint software (Windows® only) that delivers the potential of Exif Print-and more. When an Exif compliant digital camera captures a photo, important camera settings and shooting conditions are saved in the JPEG image file. Simple-to-use Easy-PhotoPrint analyzes the recorded data then automatically adjusts printer driver settings for optimum image processing. The result: digital photos that more closely match the photographer's true intentions.
