Canon has extended its ‘try-before-you-buy’ service for its Pixma photo printers.
The Your Print scheme allows users to upload photos to the Canon website and select a printer to try out. The firm will print the image on your selected model and mail the results to you.
The system is, however, quite limited in the pictures it accepts. Only files of between 200KB and 1MB are accepted - meaning that photos taken on even compact cameras will need to be downsized. JPEG is the only file type accepted and a minimum resolution of 512 x 768 is required.
“With this size we are able to offer a very good image which consumers are happy with,” a spokeswoman from Canon said. The firm has extended the scheme until the end of May after receiving high levels of interest
