Amstelveen, The Netherlands, May 2 2003. Canon, a leader in photographic and imaging technology, releases today the tiny Card Photo Printer CP 200, the latest and smallest ever addition to its 'Direct Print' range. By plugging a Canon digital camera straight into the printer, the Card Photo Printer CP 200 produces lab-quality colour prints with no PC required.
"This tiny mini-lab is part of a hot new area of digital photography", explains Hiroshi Komatsuzaki, Head of Canon Consumer Imaging Europe. "Our direct printer market has grown by over 200% in the last 12 months and we only expect that to accelerate as more and more digital camera users look for a simple means of printing their favourite shots".
Ultra compact, always ready
The Card Photo Printer CP 200 is 40% smaller and 17% lighter than previous Canon models. The petite design makes it small enough to be kept in a drawer, yet stylish enough to look right at home in the living room. To expand printing possibilities, an optional car battery adapter CBA-CP100 is available.
Connect, Select, Print
To print a photo, the camera is directly connected to the Card Photo Printer CP 200 with the cameras' standard USB cable. A simple menu on the camera allows print size, type and quantity to be selected. Within approximately 85 seconds of hitting 'print', the process for a superb postcard size print, is complete.
Regular photo feel
Canon uses dye-sublimation technology to reproduce photo-grade tones. The Card Photo Printer CP 200 builds up full colour images by merging three separate colour layers; yellow, magenta and cyan. A durable, high-gloss finish is added with a final protective layer, resulting in prints that have the same look-and-feel and fade-resistant durability as traditional silver-halide photographs.
Print choices
The Card Photo Printer CP 200 offers a choice of borderless print sizes: the enduring and popular 10x15 cm, optional L size, optional card size and optional mini-stickers. Personal postcards are now possible within 2 minutes of taking a photo, with pre-printing of postcard ruling on standard 10x15cm media.
Compatibility
The Card Photo Printer CP 200 works with all of Canon's direct-print compatible range of digital cameras. For those wishing to print from their computer, Windows and Macintosh drivers come as standard. For future compatibility the Card Photo Printer CP-200 is designed to be ready for PictBridge.
