“As today’s lifestyle is increasingly mobile-focused, consumers are eager for easy-to-use tools that not only help make printing easier and more convenient – but will also provide more opportunities to express creativity and connect with loved ones,” said Yuichi Ishizuka, executive vice president and general manager, Imaging Technologies and Communications Group, Canon U.S.A. “With the introduction of innovative platforms like PIXMA Printing Solutions, Canon looks to provide users with convenient connectivity and access to online content quickly and easily.”

Stored images can be printed directly from mobile devices as well, as long as they are connected to the same network as the printer. For added convenience, iOS users can upload commonly used documents into the PPS app through the iTunes application program to be printed when needed.
