One of the standout features of the iP3000 is its impressive print quality. The printer utilizes Canon's FINE technology, which stands for Full-photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering, delivering high-resolution prints of up to 4800 x 1200 dots per inch (dpi). This results in sharp text and stunning photo-quality images. The six-color ink system enhances color depth and vibrancy, allowing users to produce professional-looking prints for photos, documents, and graphics.
