Summary: Trust me
Comment: I have three working printers in my office. epson 2000p, hp photo1100, and now this canon i9100. This canon is half the cost of the epson and it blows it away. The reviews are accurate it is a perfect printer. I have not had one misprint yet. The epson only gets the color right about half the time.The hp was fine for regular print jobs, but the resolution on my last 13x19 print was unreal.separate ink tanks are a bit of a pain, but they save you money in the long run.

Summary: Goodbye Epson, hello Canon!
Comment: OK, I am a longtime, die hard Epson user. Until now. After the abuse I endured with the 2000p, and with the new availability of stable (25+ years) dye based inks, I was in a quandary about whether to get the Epson 2200 or look elsewhere.

Summary: Totally Amazed and Satisfied
Comment: I shopped for a month - on the Internet and at local stores - before deciding to buy my Canon i9100 from Amazon.com. An article by a professional photographer in the Atlanta Journal and Constitution recommended the Canon i960, saying he couldn't tell the difference between his printouts and the work done by photo labs. I would have bought the i960 (at half the price of the i9100) but wanted to be able to create borderless 13x19 prints. So far I've printed at least one picture of every size available, from 3x5 to 13x19, all borderless, from both my Olympus digital and 35mm cameras, and I'm still amazed at what I see. And Amazon.com delivered it two weeks earlier than I expected!

Summary: Best Printer I've Had
Comment: I've been interested in digital photography for the past couple years. I got tired of my old inkjet printer not being able to print borderless prints. So I went all out and bought this printer. This printer prints borderless 4x6, 8.5x11, 13x19, etc.. prints that are absolutely beautiful. The printer was so easy to set up. It works well with MacOS X. The printer looks good too, I like the grayish color. The printer isn't too big either. I feel like this printer lets me print photos that look better than one-hour photo labs. If you get this printer you will never have to get pictures developed, you can do it yourself with this printer.

Summary: Can I add some extra stars to this?
Comment: 'Cause it's worth an extra star! When you pull a 13x19 PERFECT print off this thing, first time out - and the responses you get are always the same ("Holy Cow!" [Amazing] "How'd you do THAT?" "Let's frame that NOW!") you know you've got a winner.
This printer takes you to the next level. Or maybe jumps you up a few levels. If you have dreams of what your photos would look like on a larger scale, dream no more. This will produce prints that will SHOCK people, make them do a double-take, stun them into speechlessness, and garner comments for your work that you can really take some satisfaction in.
I don't want to paint a perfect picture here, I know others have had minor problems to report - nothing's perfect, but this comes close. I've ONLY done 13x19 prints so far (about 20), so I can't speak to how it handles other sizes or special print runs. BTW, Amazon's pricing on this printer - and the 13x19 paper - is unbeatable - I know, I researched this for months before jumping in. Now I'm going back through all my best shots and resizing UP!
Be aware of this - larger prints will make every scanned speck of dust look like a boulder. Before you hit print, take the time to 'heal' your image completely. Look at it at 'actual pixel' size, take your Photoshop healing brush (not clone tool) and clean ALL that crap up, section by section. Work it in a grid so you don't miss anything, because at $2 a sheet you won't want to trash-and-burn till you get it right. I spent about three hours on one scan last weekend, an older negative with some dropouts. It drove me crazy, made my eyes bleed, but the final print was a big YES!!
... 'Nuff said - happy printing! As the kids might say...photography rules! (IF you know the rules - and break them when appropriate!)...JR

Obviously, I got the Canon. I haven't made a huge number of prints yet, but the ones I have made have been perfect. Wow! Color management that actually works! And, it's fast fast fast! 8.5x11 in about 3 minutes, not the 8+ minutes of the Epson. And the glossy prints look far better than any pigment inks I have tried with the Epson. Finally, it's quiet. No more buzz-saw to wake the baby. Borderless printing works great. I can't wait to try the 13x19.
After all the pain Epson put me through, I can now smile as they die a slow and painful death at the hands of Canon.
This is a great printer.
