The Bubble Jet i550 can give you up to 18 pages per minute black and 11 pages per minute in color. Relay-paper feeding speeds up the process by feeding the next sheet as the previous one is ejected. The i550's high resolution, 4800 x 1200 dpi printing capability, combined with advanced Microfine Droplet Technology ensures you crisp, high-contrast prints and a broad colour range, even on plain paper. Canon's advanced printer head design gives the smart combination of quality and speed. It lets the Bubble Jet i550 accurately produce and place 5 picolitre droplets on the page.

Advanced printing technologies for better color reproduction at faster speeds. The i550 printer features several Canon exclusives: Advanced MicroFine Droplet Technology™ dramatically improves resolution and detail. It has a revolutionary nozzle system that ejects consistent prescribed-volume droplets in ultra-fine sizes with remarkable accuracy. Precision Color Distribution Technology features a symmetrical printhead design with 1,088 nozzles to virtually eliminate color variance and banding problems typically found with conventional high-speed, bi-directional printing.
Easy-PhotoPrint software and Exif Print: smart photo processing of digital camera images. The i550 printer supports Exif 2.2 (Exchangeable Image Format File), a new worldwide standard for higher quality digital photos, and features exclusive Canon Easy-PhotoPrint software (Windows® only) that delivers the potential of Exif Print-and more. When an Exif compliant digital camera captures a photo, important camera settings and shooting conditions are saved in the JPEG image file. Simple-to-use Easy-PhotoPrint analyzes the recorded data then automatically adjusts printer driver settings for optimum image processing. The result: digital photos that more closely match the photographer's true intentions.
