The eight new machines include two entry-level units.
The Star reported Canon Malaysia’s eight new additions to the PIXMA inkjet range, with two entry-level, ink-efficient devices – the E400 and E560 – aimed at students and “cost-conscious” users.
The E400 features a single black cartridge that will only cost users RM25 ($7.61/€5.48), making it “one of the most affordable all-in-one inkjet printers to use in the long run” according to Canon, which adds the claim that one of these black cartridges “can print up to 400” pages, whilst a hybrid colour inkjet cartridge costing RM49.90 ($15.20/€10.94) can print “up to 300 pages”.
In terms of other features, the E400 can print monochrome documents at 8ipm and colour at 4ipm, with a print resolution of 4,800 x 600 dpi. The E560 meanwhile can print 800 pages with its black inkjet cartridge, costing RM39.90 ($12.16/€8.75), whilst its colour cartridge costs RM49.90 and can print 300 pages as well. This machine’s print speed is 5.6ipm in colour and 9.9ipm in monochrome, with a resolution of 4,800 x 1,200 dpi in addition to wireless connectivity and cloud printing support.
