Compatibility
The PIXMA iP2600 is compatible with Windows Vista, XP (SP2), 2000 Professional (SP4) and Mac OS X v 10.3.9 to 10.5.
Media
Canon’s competitive advantage in printer hardware technology is fully realised when genuine Canon photo grade media and inks are used. The diverse and growing range of Canon media is developed specifically to work in combination with Canon’s FINE inkjet print technology. Photo papers and media are available in a wide range of formats (including mini stickers), finishes (from matte to semi-gloss to glossy) and sizes: from credit card, 10x15cm (4”x6”) and 10x18cm Wide size (4”x7.1”) to 8”x10” (20x25cm) and A4. Glossy Photo Paper “Everyday Use” (GP-501) is ideal as an affordable way of sharing digital photographs. The flagship Photo Paper Pro (PR-101) offers the highest grade professional results with ultimate durability. A double-sided photo paper (PP-101D 13x18cm (5”x7”) and PP-101D A4) is also available together with a high quality Photo Album Kit (PAK-101).
Technologies Explained
FINE (Full-photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering)
Canon's patented FINE semi-conductor manufacturing technique is used to create print heads with exceptionally high nozzle count and density. This enables Canon printers to achieve market-leading print speeds and photo quality for photo and document printing.
The FINE print heads of the PIXMA iP2600 achieve virtually grain free photo lab quality by delivering millions of microscopic, 2 picolitre droplets each second with extremely high consistency and accuracy from minimum 10 m diameter Micro-Nozzles.
ChromaLife100
For improved fade resistance, PIXMA supports Canon’s ChromaLife100: a system of genuine Canon dye-based inks, which deliver an exceptionally broad colour gamut, and Canon photo paper designed to work together with FINE print heads. This technology ‘triangle’ of print head, ink and media produces prints that rival silver halide quality and longevity. Prints resist fading for 100 years when album-stored, 30 years when displayed under glass and 10 years when exposed to the effects of the air.
