Canon Pixma MX7600

All-In-One printer scanner, copier and fax. The printer is unusual in using Canon's Lucia pigment ink, found on A3 and larger photo printers. The "PgR" "clear-ink" technology pre-coats the paper so that presentation and poto material can be printed on plain paper without show-through, curling and ink bleeding. The printer uses 5 colour pigment based cartridges and one clear coat cartridge. Colour photo reproduction is excellent. PictBridge capability and printing from memory cards are both included. Copy, fax and photo printing functions can be used without a computer.
