Canon has launched two new multifunction printers — the SmartBase MP360 and SmartBase MP370. Both models combine print, photo printing, flatbed scanning and copying in one unit. With only one cable, one power source, one driver installation and one investment required, these all-in-one devices save time, space and money, and are designed to be easy to use.
The SmartBase MP370 offers a host of direct photo printing features. It supports the industry standard PictBridge interface, which allows PC-free direct printing from any brand of PictBridge compatible digital camera or camcorder via a USB cable. The card slot provides direct printing from all popular memory card types and the Photo Index Sheet simplifies photo and media selection. Both all-in-ones include a 4800×1200 dots per inch (dpi) printer, 1200×2400 dpi CCD scanner, borderless high resolution photo-printing with 2pl ink droplets and a copier. The SmartBase MP360 comes in a rich navy blue, while the SmartBase MP370 is jet black with a metallic platen lid.
The SmartBase MP370 is targeted at users who want straightforward photo printing as well as copy, scan and document print functions. It also supports PictBridge. The SmartBase MP370 also enables direct printing from CompactFlash Type I & II, Microdrive, SmartMedia, MultiMedia Card, SD, Memory Stick and xD-Picture Cards. To simplify direct printing from memory cards, a ‘tick the box’ photo index sheet can first be printed, filled in and scanned to decide photo selection, paper size, paper type, date settings and copy numbers.
Both models boast 18ppm mono and 12ppm colour print speeds. A USB 2.0 interface streamlines communication between scanner and computer. Borderless photo prints on a variety of media up to A4 (including Photo Paper Pro card stock) are also possible. Unique to these new models, the new intelligent print tray automatically opens when a print job is submitted.
Documents, cards, photos and books up to A4 in size can all be scanned on the flatbed at 1200×2400 dpi resolution and 48/24 bit in/out colour depth. Print output resolution of up to 9600 dpi is possible using the provided software. The Multi-Photo function enables multiple photographs to be scanned in a single pass. The handy Z-lid makes it easier to scan and copy from books and magazines.
