CANON U.S.A. BRINGS REVOLUTIONARY PRINT TECHNOLOGY TO MARKET WITH
NEWEST PIXMA OFFICE ALL-IN-ONE PRINTER
PIXMA MX7600 - First Ever Office All-In-One Printer To Use New Pigment Reaction Technology, and Professional Quality
Pigment-Based LUCIA Inks, Allowing Small Business Users to Print Beautiful Graphics and Presentations on Plain Paper
LAKE SUCCESS, March 3, 2008 – Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in professional business and consumer
imaging equipment, proudly announces the newest addition to its PIXMA printer lineup, the PIXMA MX7600
Office All-In-One (AIO) printer with the professional quality pigment-based LUCIA ink system for homes and
small offices. Along with its multi-function capabilities, the PIXMA MX7600 Office AIO printer has the ability
to produce crisp graphics and text on plain paper with the incorporation of the new Pigment Reaction (PgR)
technology. This new technology allows consumers to print superb quality color documents or presentations on
plain paper at a small office or even from the comfort of home.
Designed for the small business user who has trusted Canon laser products for business success, the inkjet
PIXMA MX7600 Office AIO completes a stellar small office lineup with its color and text capabilities.
Consumers can achieve both superb photo print quality and print durability on plain paper with Canon PgR
technology. With the use of a new clear ink working in tandem with five LUCIA pigment inks when printing
from the cassette on plain paper, users can say good-bye to oversaturated and wrinkled documents. The clear ink
(PGI-9 Clear) initially covers the print surface enabling the pigment ink to bond with the clear ink to produce
outstanding graphics, text and photo images. Considering that a majority of small business printing is done on
plain copy paper, PgR technology can bring savings to small businesses with low-volume color requirements for
printing, by consolidating all printing tasks in a single unit, enabling the printing of high-quality materials on
low-cost plain paper. The curling, ink bleeding and printing through the paper sometimes associated with color
inkjet printing on plain paper is dramatically reduced so that end-results are sharp, professional, business
documents time and time again.
“Canon prides itself on being able to provide the business user with products that satisfy all of their imaging
needs,” said Yuichi Ishizuka, senior vice president and general manager, Consumer Imaging Group, Canon
U.S.A. “The introduction of PgR technology in the PIXMA MX7600 Office AIO further demonstrates Canon’s
commitment to providing innovative products that can increase productivity, and provide the business user with
superb image quality without leaving home or the office.”

The Office Powerhouse:
The versatile PIXMA MX7600 Office AIO is the ideal addition to any small business environment looking for a
total solution in color printing, copying, scanning, faxing and networking. Designed with a stylish and sleek
exterior, Canon PIXMA AIO printers not only save space and reduce power consumption, but add to the overall
look of an office as well. For the real estate agent who needs to print out the latest floor plan and property
photos or the restaurant owner looking to distribute an updated color menu with images, the Canon PIXMA
MX7600 Office AIO produces professional-quality documents on plain paper. This Office AIO printer also
comes equipped with an automatic document feeder (ADF) and Advanced Media Handling with Auto Duplex
printing and two-way paper feeding. The ADF allows for both sides of a letter-sized document to be
copied/scanned automatically while Auto Duplex printing of two-sided letter-sized documents can be
copied/scanned without having to manually turn over pages or re-feed the document. Thanks to the effects of
PgR technology, double-sided documents not only look professional but feel professional as well. This unit can
also scan and print at the same time, which can dramatically decrease the time needed to complete a project.
When copying a multi-page document, the PIXMA MX7600 Office AIO will scan the first page and start
printing it while the scanner is scanning and then printing each successive page.
For the business owner who wants the ability to share printing and scanning with multiple users, the PIXMA
MX7600 Office AIO has a 10 Base T/100 Base-TX Ethernet port built-in for multiple users to network to one
printer. At the same time, with today’s small business looking for more secure technologies, the MP Navigator
EX software that accompanies this new PIXMA Office AIO, offers PDF security that can limit access and
restrict printing of PDF files by adding passwords. The Quick Start feature found on some previous PIXMA
printers is also included on this model, so consumers can get the job started in a matter of seconds. Canon even
designed the unit’s Super G3 color fax1 with speed and ease-of-use in mind. It includes features that allow users
to receive up to 250 incoming pages in memory2, one-touch speed dialing (eight numbers) and a coded speed
dial function that can store up to 100 locations. The ability to print out 28-ppm black and 23-ppm color3, means
that even with the quality benefits of PgR technology, this model remains a productivity-driven office
powerhouse.
A True Photo Lab
Utilizing the same LUCIA pigment-based ink found in Canon’s award-winning wide-format printers and
PIXMA Pro9500 photo printer, the PIXMA MX7600 Office AIO provides high-quality, long-lasting
photographs with exceptional color. The FINE printhead technology uses 3,584 nozzles ejecting microscopic
droplets as small as two picoliters to produce photos with a maximum color resolution of 4800 x 1200 dpi.4
The Auto Image Fix feature works directly from a connected digital camera or compatible memory card for
seamless optimization of prints without being connected to a computer. The 1.8” LCD screen allows the user to
preview images before printing. The Canon PIXMA MX7600 Office AIO even features direct printing from
select memory cards5 and PictBridge-ready devices, while the CIS scanner allows for high-quality, high-speed
scans.
