    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.

    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.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: LCD preview, six individual ink tanks, good photo quality

    Weaknesses: Slower than the competition, chipped cartridges

    Overall Evaluation: The ip6600D is designed mainly to be a photo printer. I wouldn't recommend it as an all around inkjet - it's slower and more expensive than the iP4200 and IP5200. As a pure photo printer, however, it's pretty good. The six individual ink tanks allow for a wide range of colors - the prints rival those of professional photo labs. My main complaint - Canon has now switched to chipped ink cartridges. The chip keeps a page count so you can't refill the cartridges, and there are no cheap replacement cartridges as of yet. The cartridges are about $12 - $15 each which is more expenive than the BCI tanks that the previous generation of Canon printers used. On the positive side, the new cartridges are said to be much more fade resistant.

    Strengths: Color, sharpness, speed, ease of use, lots of functions.

    Weaknesses: Cost

    Overall Evaluation: This is a great all around printer! I've always been impressed with Canon products (cameras, scanners, photo paper), and this printer is no exception. The LCD screen provides a nice preview of your pics -- and the printer has built in photo optimization (red-eye reduction, brightness/contrast, etc), which is nice if you don't care to mess around with photo editing software on your own. Personally, I like to view and touch up my pictures on my monitor before I print, but the optimizer does a pretty good job. The vibrant colors, speed of printer and sharpness make this product a joy to use. Your prints will always look good!

    Strengths: Resolutions up to 9,600 x 2,400 dpi for both color and black printing, View images on 3.5" LCD screen.Flawlessly, exactly as described in quick setup guide.

    Weaknesses: produced photos with an annoying red cast.

    Overall Evaluation: I'm a Canon fan. I bought this printer as a replacement for an old one. I have printed a variety of photos using 4x6 paper. The quality is very good but still not up to the level of a print from photo processing at Costco.Photos would require a lot of guess-work in post processing to reduce the red so the prints would come out correct.

What You Should Know about the PIXMA iP6600D Photo Inkjet Printer (2400x9600 DPI, Color, 42KB, PC/Mac)

Duplex Printing a Must for Busy Offices

A printer with duplex capability contains an internal mechanism for turning the paper over to print on the other side. (This is not to be confused with the manual duplexing that some printers offer, where driver software walks you through the process of turning over the paper yourself.) Any high-volume office should seriously consider this feature. The duplexing process slows down your print job a bit, but it also immediately cuts your paper use in half -- good for your budget, good for the environment.
