Has anyone heard anything about this new printer: Canon extends colour range with new printer [MacUser] 12:27 Canon has introduced the 'world's first' eight-colour A3 printer, the 4800x= 2400 Bubble Jet i950. In addition to the standard CMYK inks and the increasingly common light cya= n and light magenta, the i9550 has red and green inks, which should increase the total = colour range that the printer is capable of reproducing. A significant proportion of red= s and greens fall outside the gamut of traditional CMYK printers. The printer has a permanent 2pl droplet size coupled with a high-density no= zzle head to make it capable of printing borderless A3 photo prints in 65 seconds. Borde= rless printing is possible at a range of sizes from A3 down to 4x6in. A detachable CD prin= ting unit is provided. For design professionals, ICC profiles are included for colour managed work= flows. Other features include PictBridge support for direct from camera printing and bot= h Hi-Speed USB 2 and FireWire connections. The Bubble Jet i9950 will be available in May for around £549 (inc. VAT).
