  Strengths: Installed as advertised. Dynamite results.

  Weaknesses: None found yet

  Overall: They even furnished a giant installation step-by-step sheet on how to install the printer. AS they went along, they would say "if this doesn't work, try this " I never had to do anything else. The printing softwre is easy to use, and it works as advertised. They funish extra black cartridges. Bought it from Digital Foto, who got it here in a week in great condition.

  Strengths: REMARKABLE PRINTS

  Weaknesses: NONE YET

  Overall: So far this is the best printer purchase I have made. Yes, some may say the Canon i9100 is over priced but I am a firm believer in the idea that sometimes you have to pay more to get more. If you shop around you can save yourself quite a bundle. I saved $100 off MSRP. The Canon i9100 prints beautiful prints in an reasonable amount of time. Love the edge to edge and 13"X19" printing capabilities. NOTE: (To correct first reviewers poor review.) The speed is comparable to the Epson 2200 (closest competitor). Also, the unit is very simple to use, especially if you utilize the supplied software. (To correct the second review.) Lightfastness is up to 25 years if printed on the appropriate paper. Be smart and do your own research.

  Strengths: Phenomenal prints!

  Weaknesses: None, yet

  Overall: I was really torn between the Canon i9100, the less expensive Epson Sylus 1280, and the HP9000 series. I owned an HP for many years with great satisfaction. A couple of things swayed me toward the Canon: I own a Canon G3, which produces incredibly accurate photos. I believed their printers would produce the same, especially if coupled with another Canon product. I liked the option of the 13 X 19 prints. I would like to mount some of those in my home. That size would be perfect for our walls. I received the printer yesterday and was blown away by the print quality. Yeah, I paid more for this printer, but am happy with the quality and ease of use.

  Strengths: Great Prints! Outstanding ease of use. This is the photo printer is you are serious about getting the best prints.

  Weaknesses: Cost

  Overall: Great photo printer. It is the best on the market at the moment (IMHO). I have taken some great shots with my Digital Rebel 300D 6.34 megapixel camera. Printing 13*19 looks better than what a photo lab could do. I have mounted three 13*19's in different rooms of the house (two color and one black and white) and get comments such as, "who did these for you". The borderless printing is senstational. I don't understand the comments from one reviewer here. He states he would rather have his Epson. It's quite obvious that he knows nothing about this printer and does not even own one. Check it out at a store, you will be amazed. Mike

  Strengths: Super Fast, Beautiful Photo prints

  Weaknesses: None so far

  Overall: This printer is fast. A 4x6 print in about 35 seconds. A 13x19 print in about 5 minutes. I don't know why the first reviewer claimed this printer to be slow.The second reviewer said lightfastness about 2-3 years. He's only had the printer for a few months and every professional review I've read so far, has said lightfastness is up to 25 YEARS!
