Canon i9100 Photo Printer Reviews

Customer Rating:
Summary: Not for idiots--everyone else, this is awesome!
Comment: I've used this printer for home use and it is simply stunning...I bought it to print true "photographic" quality prints and it comes through in spades. At the same time I purchased a Canon EOS Digital Rebel. It is amazing to capture 6 Mega-pixel images and then be able to print them in poster size.
The title of my review refers to those who have submitted bad reviews...those are certainly not indicative of the quality of this product...only the inadequacy of the user. (Well OK, I will give a pass to those Mac users who may have had issues with compatibility...on that I cannot comment). But some of the other reviews...one is not even for this printer (instead he reviews an old S3000 printer) another can't find paper (hello??? McFly! How about search Amazon Electronics on the term "13x19 paper"....you'll have about 50 choices). 'Nuff said...this printer rocks.
And I, like many others, had always been an HP or Epson purchaser in the past...I couldn't be more pleased with my choice.

Summary: Great pictures, high cost ink, limited printer life
Comment: I have used the S9000 for three years, mainly to print 11x17 drawings. It has been a flawless printer, but today I purchase another brand. I am so mad I could spit!

Apparently the Canon products have a spent ink container that cannot be self serviced. There isn't a sensor to indicate that it is filled, the printer just stops working after a given time period or set number of copies. I have tried the internet codes to reset the printer, but to no avail.

The local Canon service center wants $100 to reset the codes. Add to the fact that a complete Canon ink refill is about $90 and this printer is too expensive to keep.

Whatever marketing genius came up with this plan to get more money from their client base has lost my loyalty and business forever.

Summary: Almost Great
Comment: This is a great printer, but no one, including Canon carries 13"x19" card-stock paper. I bought this printer with idea that I'ld be able to print my own 13x19 colored signs (100 at a time) but alas, no paper is available.

Summary: Epson user switches to Canon
Comment: +: Wide format, fairly affordable (especially since the recent price drop), Print heads are less troublesome than on Epson models, ink tanks seem to last longer than with Epson printers (maybe because I am not cleaning them constantly), it's quiet, makes nice photos, and my favorite - print head assembly is replaceable!

-: Annoying to customize settings in OS X.. actually, I haven't been able to choose a custom paper size yet, sometimes output is enlarged (I know - weird, right?), had problems with saving color settings, prints like crap on plain or non-inkjet art paper (Epson is better here).

Summary: New Canon printers will be shipped...
Comment: i9100 prices dropped because the new i9900 will come out between May 10 - 21 (2004). i9100 are great but if you can wait, it looks like the new i9900s will be better with 2-picoliter droplets, 4800x2400 dpi printing, 8 ink system (CMYK, PC,PM, Red,Blue) almost doubling the print nozzles, and USB & Firewire connection. Sorry this is not a review but just a head up for those who like to get latest so they don'g get stuck with buying an older model.
