Canon Pixma iP6600D Review

by Paul Jasper

- A 3.5-inch color LCD dominates the top of the $199 Canon Pixma iP6600D. The display--the largest we've seen on an inkjet printer--flips upward, making it easy to preview images and navigate the menus, including options for touching up photos. A door on the front of the printer conceals two media card slots that are capable of reading the most common card formats (Compact Flash, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, Microdrive, MultiMedia Card, SD Card, and SmartMedia). But you'll need an optional adapter to use other formats (Memory Stick Duo, Memory Stick Pro Duo, miniSD Card and xD-Picture Card). Transferring images from media cards to your PC is relatively fast, thanks to the USB 2.0 connection between the printer and your PC. A direct-print port lets you print straight from a PictBridge-compatible digital camera via a USB cable. Unlike competing models from Epson and HP, though, the iP6600D can't print images from USB flash drives plugged into its direct-print port. However, it does have a built-in IrDA interface that lets you print from camera phones and PDAs with infrared transmitters, and an optional Bluetooth adapter is available for $80.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Looks- cost- printing quality is awesome.

    Weaknesses: Price of the ink cartridges

    Overall Evaluation: This printer is great - very quite- pretty fast. I have printed many images and they look awesome. I have a few other ink jets by differant manufactures and this is hands down the best in terms of image quality.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Great printer. Speedy. Quiet. Paper feeds properly every time.

    Weaknesses: serious: red blotches on faces of subjects

    Overall Evaluation: Colors are good and very vivid.Howver, occasionally, red blotching on the forehead, cheeks, nose, chin on my prints. It was serious enough to call Canon support.They had me print one of their own jpg -- which printed very well and beautifully. Therefore, Tech said: My jpgs must be corrupted or it should print as good as their sample jpg.Subsequently, I uploaded my jpgs to Costco and ordered prints. NO problems. No red blotching.I had a friend print my jpgs from his HP printer.NO problems.Canon refuses to deal anymore with this problem and Best Buy will not accept returns over 15 days.
