What the Manufacturer, Canon says:
PREMIUM PERFORMANCE FOR EASY PHOTO DIRECT PRINTING

Photo printing at its best.
The PIXMA iP6600D Photo Printer is a photo-printing powerhouse, with incredible quality and high end convenience. It delivers an amazing resolution of up to 9600 x 2400 dpi1, for detail and clarity that will surpass your expectations. To achieve this, Canon Full-photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering (FINE) uses a next-generation 3,072-nozzle print head that ejects precise, consistent droplets as small as 1 picoliter. It all adds up: more nozzles + smaller droplets = smoother, virtually grain-free images. Plus, we've added high intensity Photo Cyan and Photo Magenta to the conventional 4 inks, to increase the accuracy of colour values.

The high performance doesn't stop there. The PIXMA iP6600D Photo Printer can produce a beautiful photo lab quality 4"x 6" borderless print in approximately 46 seconds2. Plus, its advanced paper handling provides you with several smart printing options. The dual paper path allows you to keep two different paper types always loaded and ready to print. You can even create 2 sided photos or special photo albums with select Canon media.

A 3.5" colour LCD plus direct printing.
With the extra-large 3.5" LCD colour viewer and control panel, you can evaluate and enhance the images on your compatible memory card3 before printing! For viewing, just insert the card into one of the built-in card slots and select the images. As needed, the PIXMA iP6600D Photo Printer will automatically correct for red eye, improve sharpness and enhance the light values on your subjects' faces. Or, you can fine tune the image yourself using the easy control panel. Then, print directly from the memory card! You can also print directly from a PictBridge compatible digital camera or DV camcorder. You can even print directly from an infrared-enabled mobile phone4! Just shoot, point your phone and print. And for Bluetooth-equipped mobile phones, PCs and PDAs, this versatile printer is Bluetooth compatible5 with the optional Bluetooth adapter - allowing you to print from another room.

Long-lasting photos with smart individual ink tanks.
The Canon ChromaLife 100 system combines the PIXMA iP6600D Photo Printer's FINE print head technology and newly developed inks with select Canon photo papers, with results rivaling that of many conventional photos. And with the new smart LED ink tanks, your LED lamp flashes when ink is running low, and flashes even faster when nearing empty.

1 Resolution may vary based on printer driver setting. Ink droplets can be placed will a horizontal pitch of 1/4800 inch at minimum.
2 Photo print speeds are based on the default mode driver setting using Canon Photo Paper Plus Glossy paper. Print speeds will vary depending on system configuration, interface, software, print mode and types of paper used.
