Of the new inkboxes showcased at the press launch in Japan last week, eight of them are single-function photo printers (iP1600, iP2200, iP4200, iP5200, iP5200R, iP6210D, iP6220D and iP6600D), while the rest are multifunction models (MP150, MP170, MP450, MP500 and MP800).

Melvyn Ho, vice president of Canon Singapore, believes the new range of PIXMA printers will "give consumers with varying printing needs more choices, more features and a better value".

All the printers are expected to be available over September and October.

Canon's first prototype camera was announced in 1934. It was branded under the name Kwanon and had a logo depicting a thousand-arm Buddhist Goddess of Mercy. While Kwanon was touted as the first 35mm focal plane shutter camera in Japan, it never made it to commercial production. A year later, the camera name was changed to Canon. The red logo we see today made its debut in 1955.

    • HP Deskjet D4360 Colour Inkjet Printer

      HP Deskjet D4360 Colour Inkjet Printer

      The Deskjet D4360 justifies its asking price nicely. At the same time, you do get exactly what you pay for.

    • HP Deskjet D2560

      HP Deskjet D2560

      A bare bones desktop printer with a minimum of features and accessories, the HP Deskjet D2560 is really only suitable for printing basic black and white pages. Don't trust it with your photographs.

    • Kodak ESP 5 All-in-One Printer

      Kodak sells the ESP 5 on its cheap printing capabilities. Sadly, in this context, cheap equals not very good.

    • Samsung ML-2851ND

      Samsung ML-2851ND

      Home offices and small businesses should take a serious look at the Samsung ML-2851ND's mono laser because of its excellent print speed, text print quality, auto-duplexer, and networking features. It's a little more expensive than the competition, but its chart-topping test results speak for themselves.

      The Dell 1720 offers fast prints and good print quality, making it an excellent mono laser printer for small offices or work groups.
