Following the announcements of new Epson and HP printers in recent weeks, Canon has unveiled 13 new additions to its PIXMA range of photo inkjets.

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.

      The Canon Selphy CP770 is a neat, little dye-sublimation printer that includes a bucket for easy travel, but the battery pack which would make it totally portable is not included.

      It isn't cheap compared to standard printers, but the Canon Pixma iP100 has the highest resolution available in the mobile printer market and prints at an impressive speed to boot. If you simply must have a printer with you at all times, the iP100 should be the do-it-all at your side.

      Although it offers no technical upgrades from its predecessor, an enhanced user interface and larger LCD display improve on the impressive ES1, making the Canon Selphy ES2 a pleasing choice for a dye-sub photo printer.

      Epson Stylus Photo R1900

      Epson's Stylus Photo R1900 photo printer is great for scrapbookers who want to print with pigment ink or advanced photographers who want to print large but can't justify the expense of a pro-level printer.

      HP Photosmart A626

      The HP Photosmart A626 is supposed to bridge the gap between the A826 and the A526 snapshot printers by providing lots of features, good print quality, and decent print speeds, but it falls short on the last two counts.
