"Excellent photo printing compared to professional prints"
Pros: excellent tonal range and color
Cons: none worth mentioning
Summary: As a former professional photographer, I have had a lot of experience with color printing. There are two main factors in printing digital images. First is the range of the image scale (black to white). A very long scale makes for a poor print. Di... read more >>

4.5 stars
Pros: Lucious color, excellent drivers and software, great paper handling, looks nice on the desktop, fast and quiet
Cons: Like all inkjets, costly cartridges, lack of card readers
Summary: This is by far the best inkjet photo printer I have ever owned. I was a devoted user of another brand until I was browsing through a computer store and saw an 8.5 X 11 glossy sample on Canon Pro photopaper produced by this printer -- it was simply... read more >>

4.0 stars
Pros: Was easy to setup and is a joy to use. Fabulous prints, especially on Canon papers --rich colors, great contrast, and very high gloss on Glossy Plus and Pro Canon papers. Prints a borderless 8 X 10 in about 45 secs. Dual paper feed and automatic power on
Cons: Uses 8 ink cartidges -- which is why colors are so good but this means more inks to replace. Photo cyan and photo magenta seem to run out faster than others.
Summary: null

"Best photo printer on the market"
Pros: 8 ink catridges which give you fuller more vibrant pictures. Ink catridges only $12 a piece. Excellent photo quality that rivals professional prints.
Cons: none as of yet
Summary: Every time I print a picture this printer amazes me. The pictures are true to life and full of color. The FINE print technology allows you to print virtually flawless pictures without seeing the individual dink droplets. All around awesome print... read more >>
