New Canon Pixma Printers

Canon, my favorite brand of camera, is introducing five new Canon Pixma printers.

Printers nowadays have changed the way we enjoy our creative pursuits in different fields like photography and digital arts. Was it just several years ago when we had to go to a photo printing shop to get our photos printed an hour or two after we checked in our films and files to the tech guys?

These days, we see all-in-one machines in homes that serve to scan, print and photocopy documents, photos and files. With so many choices to choose the best that suit our needs, there are several factors that rank high among consumers:

  • functionality

  • effective cost-saving
