Direct Printing

In addition to its standard PictBridge features, which are compatible with most
PictBridge-compliant printers regardless of manufacturer, the EOS 30D supports additional
direct printing features exclusively when the camera is connected to a new PIXMA Pro9500
or Pro9000 desktop photo printer, which are being announced simultaneously with the
EOS 30D camera. These features include the following:
• Full support for Picture Style settings: Images are printed according to the photographer's
preferences for sharpening, contrast, saturation and color tone, as well as monochrome
and other special effects.
• Fine adjustment of other image quality settings such as color balance, color space
(including Adobe RGB), overall brightness, face brightness and microcontrast levels as
well as a red-eye correction function.
• Expanded paper selection, including a range of fine art paper stocks available in a
variety of sizes up to 13" x 19".
These additional direct printing features are being introduced to meet the needs of
camera users who pay close attention to details and want to fine-tune their image quality
to the highest possible degree. As a result, customers who purchase the EOS 30D camera
together with a compatible PIXMA Pro Series printer will achieve levels of quality and
convenience that are only available with this new Canon-to-Canon solution.
In previous direct printing, the colors shot by
the camera were automatically corrected by the
printer during printing. The user could neither
print images using the camera's unmodified color
characteristics nor look at a print and make fine
adjustments to color tones. With an EOS 30D/
PIXMA Pro Series printer combination, a full
range of print effects is now possible. Images
can now be printed using the camera's color
characteristics without automatic correction by
the printer, a particular advantage when
printing from a camera with Picture Style.
When necessary, the conventional print mode
with automatic correction on the printer is
still selectable.
The following table shows the wide range of choices available for print optimization
when using Direct Print. It lists selectable Print Effects across the top and manually
adjustable print parameters in the left column.
