Enhanced Functionality
Printing premium quality documents and photos at home is fast with the new MG4150; a quality 10x15cm borderless photo, printed in default mode, is produced in approximately 44 seconds, with ISO speeds of 9.9ipm for black and white documents and 5.7ipm for colour. For frequent users, Canon FINE ink cartridges now come in a high yield XL size offering up to 50% cost per page savings over standard tanks (based on Canon RSP, compared to equivalent non XL Canon cartridge, using ISO/IEC24712 page yield). The models are ideal for both text documents and photo printing; FINE print head technology with a minimum 2pl droplet size, combined with maximum 4800dpi print resolution, produces beautiful photo prints and crisp word documents. The MG4150 also features a 6.0cm LCD display for easy operation and comes with Auto Duplex Print allowing for automatic printing on both sides of the page for greater efficiency.

Smart Design
The MG4150’s smart design and eco settings also mark it out from the crowd. A stylish high-gloss look and compact design makes the MG4150 fit into the most stylish of homes. Canon’s FastFront design allows paper and ink cartridges to be loaded into the front of the printer, so it can be placed against a wall or on a shelf, saving valuable space. For eco-conscious users, the new ECO Setting monitors paper and CO2 reductions and demonstrates the savings made by using the Auto Duplex mode. The Auto Power Off feature ensures the main power can be automatically turned off after a set time to save energy, whilst the Quick Start function allows the MG4150 to power up again quickly, for on-demand printing.

Smart Software
The new MG4150 comes with a range of software solutions for smart printing that will appeal to those looking for the very latest features.

A comprehensive suite of intuitive software for photo and document printing and scanning comes as standard. For example, for keen photographers, Auto Photo Fix II software uses Face Detection and Scene Analysis technology to remove common flaws for great looking prints every time.
