What You Should Know about the Canon PIXMA Photo Printer (IP1600)

Installed Memory is Ideal for Five or Fewer Users

This printer's installed memory is sufficient for small offices or workgroups that print typical business documents, such as memos, spreadsheets, or simple Web pages. If you have more than six people using the printer or the printer handles heavy traffic, you will want more memory than this printer provides.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Price, quality, and size

Weaknesses: A little noisy

Overall Evaluation: I purchased this printer because it was cheaper than the ink carthriges cost for my Dell 870 printer. It seems to be a better quality printer also. It prints photos very well with high quality photo paper.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Good price, ok photo quality, compact

Weaknesses: no output tray, no usb cable

Overall Evaluation: Got it almost free from a combo buy together with an ibook notebook. The printer is still good enough for small volume family use. Photos come out colorful and clean, and printing speed is not bad at all. I don't often print large number of photos at home, and this printer just serves a backup.No output tray and the usb cable doesn't come along either, which perhaps is what free means.Anyway, it's a nice printer, i am satisfied with it so far.
