FINE Print Head Technology
The iP3000 incorporates Canon’s latest fully patented innovation, Full-photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering (FINE) technology print heads. FINE print heads are manufactured using technology adapted from Canon’s expertise in manufacturing sub-micron integrated circuits. FINE print heads feature ink nozzles with tolerances many times finer than a human hair. These high-density nozzles eject millions of minute ink droplets each second with a microscopic precision simply not possible with traditional print heads, which are assembled from multiple parts.
Natural, Grain-Free Images
The 1600-nozzle FINE print head used in the iP3000 ejects a combination of 2 and 5 picolitre ink droplets to facilitate high-speed printing while ensuring exceptionally high image quality. Advanced Precision Colour Distribution Technology ensures colour evenness while increasing black density and contrast – especially on plain paper. These advanced technologies allows the iP3000 to match and even surpass the image quality of 6-colour printers.
4800 dpi Resolution
The iP3000 employs advanced dot-control technology to achieve a spectacular 4800 x 1200 dpi resolution. Such precise accuracy ensures that your photos are printed with outstanding detail and naturally smooth tonality without graininess across the entire colour range.
Fastest In Its Class
With its high-density, 1600-nozzle FINE print head placing 19 million ink droplets with microscopic precision each second, the iP3000 can print brilliant 4” x 6” borderless prints in approximately 36 seconds. In its need for speed, the iP3000 uses a 4-motor, independent-drive, high-speed paper feed mechanism, in addition to an optimised sequence and motor margin. It is able to print 22 ppm monochrome and 15 ppm colour!
PictBridge Camera Direct Printing
The PIXMA iP3000 supports PictBridge and Bubble Jet Direct camera direct printing for ultimate convenience. Connect directly to any PictBridge or Bubble Jet Direct compatible digital camera or video camcorder for professional quality printouts without the computer.
Individual Ink Tanks
The iP3000 features Canon’s Individual Ink Tank system, allowing you to replace each specific colour that has run out so you won’t waste a single drop of ink. And with Canon’s sophisticated ink detection system, the printer does not start any print job if there is insufficient ink to complete it.
2-Way Paper Feeding
The PIXMA iP3000 has an in-built Paper Feed Cassette in addition to the conventional Auto Sheet Feeder. A Paper Feed Switch allows you to shift easily from one feeder to another. Check out these advantages:
  • Paper Feed Switch allows you to shift seamlessly and conveniently between Auto Sheet Feeder and Paper Feed Cassette.
  • Load plain paper and photo paper in separate feeders to save the hassle of switching between different types of paper in one tray.
  • Load up to 300 sheets of paper* to handle high-volume printing jobs with amazing ease and superb efficiency.


*150 sheets each in Auto Sheet Feeder and Front Feeder respectively.

Auto Duplex Printing
The Auto Duplex Printing function allows you to easily create double sided, professional looking documents and great looking photo albums. This function allows the iP3000 to print on both sides of the same sheet without requiring you to manually turn the paper over.
DVD & CD Direct Printing
Printing directly onto a DVD or CD eliminates the need for labels. The built-in CD sized tray guide makes printing easier than ever.
Compact & Stylish Form
Fall in love with the compact, stylish form factor of the iP3000 – a remarkably compact printer that fits gracefully on any desktop. And because of its unique PIXMA design, it can sit flush against a wall, further increasing placement options.
