"Excellent choice for text and photos" on by daniel
Pros: Quiet, duplex printing, great quality, low ink cost
Cons: have found none so far
Summary: I was saddened when my 6 or 7 year old Epson 750 died, and after reading glowing reviews for the IP4000 at many sites (Tom's Hardware has a great comparison of 6 or so photo inkjets) I jumped for the IP4000.....glad I did. It prints great text and REAL photographs. The duplex (printing on both sides of the paper) feature is cool and saves paper and paper clutter. It's quiet and according to other reviewers and Tom's, the ink cost is the best around. Setup was easy....took about 20-30 minutes from opening the box to printing. I really like it. Great inexpensive choice for both text and photos.

"Fast, excellent text, excellent photos, prints cd/dvd with a simple mod, low cost ink" on by Knightcrawler
Pros: Fast, excellent text, excellent photos, prints cd/dvd with a simple mod, low cost ink, awesome black look
Cons: Software isn't that great although I do love the cd label print software.
Summary: The text quality is nearly laser like. Even in draft mode the text is very clear with no feathering and it's very fast at 25 ppm.
Auto duplexing is very useful and can save a lot of paper for reports since it prints on both sides.
Two paper feeders are essiential with the different paper today. I put regular paper in the top feeder and photo paper in the bottom. The bottom feeder is great and easy to use for all kinds of different paper.
The PictBridge is going to be uninversal so having it is standard. Most new camera's have this feature.
Auto-off saves power and wear and tear, I have it set for 15 minutes this is great cause I usually forget to turn the printer off.
Direct prints to inkjet printable cd/dvd's with a simple mod = pixma.cjb.net
The 5 inks system is great way to get fantastic photos and razor sharp text. -
"Great Family Printer for the buck!" on
Pros: You get exactly what you pay for, and Best Buy had it the day after Christmas for $119.00. Photos are excellent quality, even when comparing to a Canon Selphy Photo Printer. True the text printing is not "laser-like", however who examines a document 3-
Cons: Personally for me I have no cons for this printer, because you must take into account the great price you pay. Another reviewer said it best, "You get what you paid for.". I used to work for a computer retailer, and I didn't like Canon because of the iss

"Excellent Value!" on by paguyoII
Pros: Good 4 x 6 printouts, nice duplex print option, inks last long, e\easy photo print software, matches my dell dimension
Cons: Text prints a tad dark, ate up my sticky labels and . . .
Summary: Careful with printing adhesive labels. I can't fix it and neither could tech support. Three of the labels got stuck inside the printer. Under warranty though and now waiting for a refurbished unit from canon.

"Fabulous! Excellent" on by wobble
Pros: Quiet, Easy to Operate, Photo Quality
Cons: I bought strickly for photo quality!
Summary: I read all the reviews on this product, here and there. I was sold based on this price range. I replaced it with my 3 year old Epson 785EXP. Of coarse, after 3 years of newer photo technology I should expect some printer improvements. All I can say is the photo quality from 10 inches+ away, is fabulous. Just like they came from the Lab!
Amen!
