    To help meet the demands of any family printing at home, Canon is introducing a new line of ink cartridges to be used with the PIXMA iP1800 Photo Printer. The new PG-30 (pigment black ink cartridge) and CL-31 (tri-color ink cartridge) will offer consumers a new low cost option when purchasing ink. The new PG-30 and CL-31 ink cartridges will retail for an estimated selling price of $15.99 and $19.99 respectively.

    The iP1800 has received the Certified for Windows Vista logo, indicating that it has met Microsoft's rigorous new standards for performance and functionality with Windows Vista.

    ChromaLife100 System
    The PIXMA iP3300 and iP1800 Photo Printers use the Canon ChromaLife100 system to produce prints on select genuine Canon photo papers that resist fading for up to 100 years when stored in an archival quality photo album. The 100-year-lifespan rivals that of many traditional film based photos, long considered by consumers to be the benchmark for image permanence.

    Unlike some competitors that only test for ozone degradation, Canon has tested the ChromaLife100 system against three types of gases to simulate realistic conditions - ozone, nitrogen oxide and sulfur oxide. Prints produced on Canon Photo Paper Pro with the other elements of the ChromaLife100 system had an up to ten-year gas fastness when exposed to open air. ChromaLife100 prints also had up to 30-year light fastness4 when displayed under glass.

    Compatible with Windows Vista
    The newest Canon PIXMA printers address different styles and needs, and are now compatible with most computer operating systems, including Windows Vista. As a Premier Launch Partner of the Windows Vista operating system, Canon ensured that the latest Canon PIXMA photo printers work directly in tandem with Microsoft's operating system, without any extra downloads or upgrades. Both printers still offer full compatibility with other operating systems. The iP3300 Photo Printer will also be compatible with such as Windows 98/Me/2000/XP, Windows Millennium Edition, Windows 98 and Mac OSX v10.2.8, while the iP1800 Photo Printer will function with Windows 2024/XP and Mac OSX v10.2.8 operating systems.
