Print Quality Settings (6.00)
The printer’s menu provides just two quality settings, standard and high (quality-priority), for all paper types. The printer driver extends this a little to provide three quality settings for Canon Photo Paper Pro by adding a quality level greater than high quality.
Internal Editing (6.00)
The mini320’s Auto Image Fix tools can be set to automatic, or users can take manual control, allowing some coarse fine tuning. Many of the options, like red eye correction, photo image optimization and vivid photo can just be turned on or off. The Vivid Photo tool accentuates bright colors while leaving skin tones natural. Image Optimizer smoothes out pixilation common in low resolution images or pictures that have been expanded by software or cameras. Color and brightness can be corrected using Photo Optimizer PRO, which allegedly can correct color shifts and exposure problems. Image artifacts found in dark areas or broad single-color fields could be helped by clicking on the Photo Noise Reduction tool. Other options, like brightness and contrast settings, are altered using a slider tool graduated in five steps. Users can also crop images with the trimming tool.
The driver also contains these same editing tools.
Dedicated B&W Settings / Effects (5.00)
No black-and-white options are available on the printer’s menu, but a sepia option is available in the Advanced printing menu under Effects. Grayscale printing, as well as a variety of monochrome options can be chosen within the printer driver. (See the Drivers & Administration section on the Drivers and Software page for more information.) (link)
Media Types (6.50)
Canon provides several paper surfaces for the mini320. These papers can be purchased in 4x6-inch size: Photo Paper Glossy, Photo Paper Plus Glossy and Semi-Gloss, Photo Paper Pro, and Photo Stickers. The only paper available in 5x7-inch size is Photo Paper Plus Glossy (regular and double-sided). Photo Cards are available in 4x8-inch size.
