What the Manufacturer, Canon says:
OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE. HIGH-DEFINITION PHOTOS.

Advanced features for professional-quality photos.
The feature-rich i860 Desktop Photo Printer offers the ultimate in versatility with high-definition photos and laser-sharp black text at unbelievable speeds. It achieves a maximum resolution of 4800 x 1200 colour dpi*, impressive speeds of up to 23 ppm in black**, up to 16 ppm in colour**, and edge-to-edge borderless 4" x 6" photos in approximately 50 seconds**. Canon advanced MicroFine Droplet Technology uses a revolutionary nozzle system that ejects consistent prescribed-volume droplets as small as 2 picolitres, for nearly grain-free images. It features a symmetrical print head design that virtually eliminates colour variance and banding problems typically found with conventional high speed printing. Canon launches the next evolutionary step in digital printing with the introduction of ContrastPLUS, an advanced 5 colour ink system. Offering the best of both worlds, the i860 printer delivers exceptional black text quality with a pigment-based black ink. Plus, it provides true 4 colour photo printing with a photo black ink for improved image contrast and overall photo sharpness.

Photo printing made easy.
With direct photo printing technology, you can print without a computer. Simply connect any Bubble Jet Direct or PictBridge-compatible digital camera or camcorder to the convenient front-panel Direct Print Port, and print! The i860 printer also enables you to print edge-to-edge true borderless photos in 4"x 6", 5"x 7" and 8.5"x 11" sizes effortlessly, with the look and feel of traditional photographs. The included 4"x 6" photo paper tray can be attached to the auto sheet feeder, so you'll always have your choice of paper ready for printing.

Easy-PhotoPrint and Easy-WebPrint software.
The included Easy-PhotoPrint† software, an Exif Print 2.2 compatible application, makes it simple to print stunning digital photos. It faithfully reproduces the colours digitally captured, while improving image quality by virtually eliminating "Photo Noise" and boosting colour saturation with "Vivid Photo" driver enhancements. The result: more perfect-looking photos that you can't wait to share. Easy-WebPrint† software automatically analyzes and formats web pages so they'll print with full colour and without trimming off the right-hand margin.
