What You Should Know about the iP6700D

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.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Individual ink cartridges , High quality photo printing

Weaknesses: Expensive Cartridges

Overall Evaluation: I've had quite a few color printers over the years. This is my first Canon Pixma and I admit the color is really accurate. For the first time I don't have to deal with too much ink on the page or colors that don't appear as they do on my monitor or in real life. The printer hibernates all by itself which I like, so if I'm not using it for a week or so, I don't have to remember to shut it off as I do with the other printers. I've had great luck with it. The only downside so far for me is the cost of replacement ink cartridges. I bought one full set of Canon cartridges for this printer at Best Buy and paid almost half of the original cost of the printer. Canon has made it much more difficult (although not impossible) to use compatible cartridges by including a proprietary IC in each cartridge.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Fast, quiet, high quality photo prints.

Weaknesses: 6 ink cartridges (can get expensive), though could be worse.

Overall Evaluation: This is my second canon printer. I upgraded from the i560 and what an upgrade it has been. I thought my old printer produced good pictures. This printer produces great pictures. The color and quality of the prints are fantastic. The LCD monitor is nice, but I print out everything from my computer post editing. Great printer. Would highly recommend
