Description

PIXMA iP5000-- Extreme Performance That Will Raise Your Expectations. MODEL- IP5000 VENDOR- CANON COMPUTER SYSTEMS FEATURES- PIXMA iP5000 Extreme Performance That Will Raise Your Expectations. 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, 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. The PIXMA iP5000 Photo Printer has the speed to match its exceptional quality. It can produce up to 25 ppm in black and up to 17 ppm in color, and a beautiful 4" x 6" borderless print takes only 36 seconds. It also features a new drive system that not only improves speed but reduces noise. Want to simplify your photo printing? Simply connect any PictBridge compatible digital camera or DV camcorder, and print. It is that fast and easy! To reduce printing costs, the Canon Think Tank System has five individual ink tanks that lets you replace only the color that runs out, rather than an entire cartridge containing unused ink. Plus, a unique low-ink sensor alerts you when ink levels are low, so you are prepared to just drop in a new tank as needed.b

Printing professional quality photos from home has become a reality, thanks to easy-to-use photo printers like the Canon PIXMA ip5000. By combining five-color printing and a 1,856-nozzle print head that's capable of delivering superfine 1-picoliter ink droplets (up to 22 million droplets per inch), the ip5000 delivers stunningly accurate prints that should leave professional photo labs a little worried.

Color resolution is as high as 9,600 x 2,400 dpi, with black-and-white resolution of up to 600 x 600 dpi. Print speeds are as high as 25 ppm in black, 17 ppm in color, while a borderless 4-by-6-inch photo can take as little as 36 seconds. The same drive system responsible for the ip5000's improved print speeds also results in a low 34 dB(A) noise level. (All reported speeds are maximums. Actual speeds will vary.)

Precision Color Distribution Technology
Unlike other systems, nozzle configuration in Bubble Jet printers is simple, so it is easier to make them smaller and more dense. Using its superior semiconductor manufacturing technology, Canon has succeeded in developing an ultrahigh-precision, multinozzle print head. The problem of color inconsistency has been solved by positioning a mirror-image line of 128 nozzles (600 dpi pitch for each color) at a half-pitch offset from the existing line. This configuration also provides the added advantage of enabling high-resolution printing at 1,200 dpi.

Brighten dark faces caused by bright backgrounds. Choose from one-click automatic to correct the entire image all at once, or manual to correct just a selected area.
