1) Print speed
With the new print head (total 4,608 nozzles, 3 sizes of ink droplet), higher photo print speed on 4x6 size paper has
been achieved.
- 4 x 6 photo (PP-101, standard, borderless)
- Camera Direct printing (4 x 6, borderless)
Reference:
Black text (plain paper, FINE pattern)
Color (plain paper, FINE pattern)
*1: Based on Canon standard pattern. Print speed may vary depending on system configuration, interface, software,
document complexity, print mode, page coverage, type of paper used and does not take into account data processing
time on host computer.
*2: When printing a 6 megapixel image taken by certain Canon digital camera from PictBridge on default settings using
Photo Paper Plus Glossy without border. Actual print speed may vary depending on image data, print mode, type of
paper used and device that the printer is connected to.
2) Design
With the silver frame holding the main body from the bottom, the iP5300 wears a stately look in a fresh design.
The square form makes the printer look more compact and shorter in height.
3) New support of DVD / CD print function in Canada model
DVD / CD print function is now available in the Canada model as well as other models.
4) Remaining ink amount indication sequence in 2006 products
In previous models, indication of the remaining ink amount differs between the individual ink tank system and the
FINE cartridge system.
In the 2006 models, the unified specifications have been adopted.
Major changes from the 2005 models:
- In Direct printing, printing will not be suspended at "Low Ink" indication. (Printing will start without a click by a
user at the "Low Ink" message.)
- The remaining ink status will be indicated by the following 4 levels:
Low: No raw ink is detected by the optical method.
(From this point, the remaining ink amount will be determined by the dot
count.)
Out: No ink remains according to the dot count.
A warning will be displayed to indicate that ink may have run out.
