Product Description

Manufacturer's Description
Premium Home or Office All-In-One with WiFi & Creative Media Handling

The PIXMA MP640 is a high performance easy to use, wireless All-in-One. With great Creative Media functions including, CD/DVD printing, dual paper trays and auto-duplex, the PIXMA MP640 will integrate seamlessly into any home or office network and achieve photo-lab quality results at speed. Ready to use straight out of the box, the PIXMA MP640 delivers bold black text, faithful copies, intelligent scanning and stand alone printing via memory cards, PictBridge and USB. With WiFi and Ethernet connectivity, as well as Single Ink tanks for added economy, the PIXMA MP640 is a first class multipurpose home and office photo printer.

Incredible quality and detail

Canon’s class leading 1pl FINE print engine delivers an astonishing resolution of 9600 x 2400 dpi and a spectacular 20 second 10 x 15cm (4 x 6”) borderless photo print, enabling superior photo-lab quality output at speed. Canon’s High Performance 5 Single Ink System includes two blacks - one for printing crisp laser sharp text, the other for photos to give strong saturated blacks – delivering exceptional quality. The single Ink System also means that, instead of replacing a multi-coloured cartridge and wasting unused ink, you only replace the colour ink tank that runs out, saving you money!

Print from any room in the house
You can print wirelessly from any Wi-Fi enabled computer in your house. The PIXMA MP640 also includes built-in Ethernet - a wired LAN interface that lets you connect seamlessly to a home or office network, so all the computers connected can share the power of PIXMA.

Save paper and be friendly to the environment
Print on both sides of the page without the hassle of turning the page manually using Built-In Auto Duplex Printing. This saves you time, money and paper – plus you’re helping the environment! To add to your options, 2-way paper feeding lets you load paper from the front cassette or rear tray, allowing use of both plain and photo paper at the same time. The printer will intelligently choose the right source for the printing task at hand. Manually switching from one tray to the other is also easy, while the self-operating output tray automatically opens when printing or copying so no more paper jams.

You’re not restricted to printing on paper either as the PIXMA MP640 comes complete with a special tray so you can print directly onto printable DVDs and CDs. This is ideal for small businesses who archive data using CDs/DVDs or use them to promote their services to customers; while at home its perfect for personalising your photo or music collections.

Smart and simple interface

Don’t feel like using a computer? No problem. Just insert a compatible memory card into the easily accessible built-in card slots or connect via PictBridge to print directly from your digital camera, DV camcorder or camera phone. In addition you can print using the optional BU-30 wireless Bluetooth unit. The huge 7.5cm TFT display screen with Easy-Scroll Wheel lets you easily view, select and edit your images for simple computer-free printing. No downloading needed - just watch a slide show, pick your picture and print! Or maybe you need special paper like music sheets, graph paper or calendars in a hurry? Choose the Template Printing option from the display screen and in seconds you’ll have the type of paper you need to ease all those homework worries.

Automatically scans just about anything
Exceptional high quality 4800dpi scanning is quick, simple and easy with integral Auto Scan Mode. It detects your original - photo, business card or letter – then automatically scans and saves the image with the appropriate settings, all without any prompt from you.

A world of advantages with Canon technology

Auto Photo Fix II helps you to get the right
Built-in Auto Photo Fix II technology with Red-Eye Removal and Multi-zone Exposure Correction is perfect for your home photo lab as it automatically fixes your photos at the printer, giving you flawless results without the need for a computer.

Red-eye occurs when using a photographic flash very close to the camera lens (as with most compact cameras) in ambient low light. Based on Canon’s market-leading intelligent camera technology Auto Photo Fix II will remove any red eye from your pictures as well as fix the brightness of unexposed areas of the photo with Multi-zone Exposure Correction. For instance, it will automatically brighten faces that are backlit and under-exposed and ensure more accurate skin tones to help you produce gorgeous images.

Printing made easy with FREE in-box software

Exclusive to Canon, Easy-PhotoPrint is the fast and easy way to re-touch your digital photos and print them in a choice of size and layouts. It features an intuitive on-screen display for quick and easy image and paper selection, print-quality and layout. The Correct and Enhance button adds advanced photo correction and enhancement, using the same simple interface. The lab quality re-touching features available include: red eye correction, smooth facial lines and skin tone, face brightener, face sharpener and blemish remover.

Save paper with the NEW Easy-WebPrint software
This FREE in box new Easy-WebPrint EX software offers a range of options to help you organise the information you want to print from the internet - and avoid wasting paper printing the details you don’t need. These include Auto Clipping: print only the area of a web page you want; and Clip from Multiple pages: collect, combine and edit content from multiple web pages before printing. You can also print with an enlarged text size or reduce the size of the whole web page to fit it onto a single piece of paper for printing.

Beautiful, long-lasting photos

You can keep your precious photos bright and vibrant with the Canon ChromaLife100+ system. This unique combination of enhanced FINE print head technology and genuine Canon Chromalife 100+ inks with selected Canon photo papers lets you create beautiful photos that will last up to 300 years when stored in an archival-quality photo album.

To achieve the exceptional 9600 x 2400 color dpi resolution, Canon Full-photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering (FINE) uses a patented print head with high precision nozzles, ejecting ink droplets as small as 1 picolitre in size (the smaller the ink drop the better quality the image).

Stylish, compact and tidy
Both the Power cable and USB port are recessed inside the compact, stylish printer body so you can push the machine right back against the wall – saving space and keeping everything neat and tidy.
