The upcoming PMA photography trade show is about printing images as well as capturing them, Ip1800_printing so Canon also has a few new printers to tout.

The Pixma iP3300 and iP1800 are both compact models that print at up to 4,800-by-1,200 resolution. Differences are printing speed and ink cartridges--the $80 iP3300 uses individual color cartridges, while the $50 iP1800 has a single color cartridge.
