Black ink documents print up to 26 pages per minute and color documents can be printed as fast as 17 pages per minute. When speed is what you need, 4 x 6" borderless photos are ready in just 41 seconds.
Lab Quality Photo Prints
With a maximum 9600 x 2400dpi and microscopic ink droplets as small as 1 picoliter using FINE Technology, images are produced in great detail.
High Performance Ink Cartridges
The iP3600 uses genuine Canon cartridges containing specially formulated inks. The Canon Think Tank System features individual ink tanks and an intelligent ink management system allowing replacement of only the colors that run out--reducing waste and saving money. A unique low-ink sensor alerts you when ink levels are low, helping you avoid running out of ink unexpectedly.
FINE Technology
Canon Full-photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering (FINE) uses a patented print head with 2368 precision nozzles, injecting ink droplets as small as 1 picoliters.
Dual Paper Trays
Two-Way paper feeding for convenient plain and photo paper handling.
Quick Start
After pressing the power button, printing can begin in approximately 2 seconds. Full operation is also enabled in a shorter time now too.
Automatic Image Optimization
Within the included Easy-PhotoPrint EX software, the Auto Photo Fix program optimizes images for such factors as skin tone, white balance, brightness, and makes red-eye corrections. Images are automatically optimized for one of five categories (Portrait, Scenery, Night Scenery, Snapshot with Scenery, and Snapshot with Night Scenery).
Click-Connect-Print
Just capture an image with a PictBridge ready digital camera/DV camcorder, then connect and print.
Long Lasting, Archival Prints
The ChromaLife100 ink system has a permanence rating in excess of 100 years for color and black & white images when printing on select Canon photo and fine art papers.
Canon Generation Green
Generation Green is Canon's new environmental initiative. Designed to provide business partners, customers and consumers a way to learn about the environmentally-friendly approach that Canon is taking to design many of its current and future products and solutions; for example, possible cost savings through energy efficiency. The features that follow have Generation Green characteristics.
Reduction in Packaging
The packaging of the iP3600 has been reduced by 4.2% over the previous model, delivering shipping efficiencies of up to 23% percent. Downsizing the packaging helps reduces CO2 emissions and waste throughout the whole process of production, shipping, to selling.
Individual Ink Tanks
The individual ink tanks may reduce the amount of wasted ink from cartridges as compared to a composite 4 color cartridge, by allowing users to replace individual color tanks rather than entire color cartridges.
ENERGY STAR
Qualified products are 25% more efficient than conventional models. By using less energy, these products reduce greenhouse gas emissions and saves energy as well as money.
RoHS Compliance
This is a directive from the European Union that restricts the use of hazardous materials found in electronic products. This product contains no cadmium, mercury, lead, hexavalent chromium, Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB), or Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE).
Hardware Recycling Program
Canon is committed to the world community and the belief that we are building a better world for future generations. We want to work with our customers to help ensure appropriate recycling of products to help improve the environment and our local communities.
Refurbishing Program
The Canon U.S.A., Inc. refurbishing facility manages all waste stream processes for Canon products, so Canon has full control over recovery and salvage for Canon products, not third-party vendors.
