Advantages: The quality of the Photo printing and it prints to A3
Disadvantages: Setting it up

I bought a Canon Pixma ix4000 about three months ago. I'm not a technical expert, either in computers or in printers, so this review may be bit lacking in some technical details. I already have a Sharp AL1457D (a multi purpose laser printer, scanner and copier) which I use for most day to day printing. The sharp only prints out onto A4 and is Black and white. I like taking photographs so I set out to buy an extra printer that was good for photographs ...
...(sods law really). The Canon meets all of my needs. It prints up to A3, fairly quickly (if its' B&W). it prints excellent quality photographs (both colour and black and white), to look at them you would think that they were produced by a Professional photo lab, they are that good. I take lots of digital photos using a Canon EOS 300D. The printer produces picture quality that is just incredible, the subtlety of tones are great. I took some photos ... Read review

Advantages: Colour, compact compared to other laser and fits on desktop, laser.
Disadvantages: Still quite large compared to an ink jet.

I bought one of these babies because I hate inkjets and love laser. This was the only one I could really afford which was small enough to fit on my desktop and had colour. Laser printers are better than inkjets because they give a crisp and professional look to word documents and spreadsheets. Even with a fine quality inject it still looks home-made unless it is on hideously expensive paper. Therefore the LBP 5000 it makes my assignments look great. ...
...pictures which sends shivers down my spine with excitement. It is generally understood that lasers are far better value for money on a long-term basis. When you replace cartridges in an injet they can cost £15 plus for each colour. A replacement toner cartridge for the LBP5000 laser printer is around £50, however they need replacing far less frequently. I have had mine for six months and have gone through at least two reams of paper and still have ... Read review

Advantages: comact, stylish, good brand reputation
Disadvantages: infa red slow, is heavy when used with battery

...to buy an old canon bjc 80 or the likes. I then went onto ebay and searched for a portable printer, you can imagine all the junk that came up and then I saw it, the Canon Pixma IP90, looking very stylish, so like everything else I buy I searched the internet for information on it, and all the reviews I found were positive, albeit the printer was a bit pricey at £199 but I was not swayed and and kept hunting for the best price, in the end I bought ...
...for the pair for original canon but you can get generic replacements for a fraction of the cost, I personally use the original ones, but again I don't print hundreds of pages, just the average family use so it doesn't hurt me when I have to replace them. The print quality is really good from a compact ink jet printer, good enough to print decent charts, documents and even photos. The canon boasts print speeds of upto 16 pages per minute, this must ... Read review

Advantages: Good brand, good quality photo prints at speed, good value ink.
Disadvantages: Was pricey but is coming down now.

...terms of print material. The Canon "FINE" technology allows this product to deliver up to a 4800 x 1200 droplets per inch print resolution and on high quality paper gives stunning results, even on borderless printing straight from a digital camera. Speed of Print Speed is another area where this printer is of a very good standard, even by modern standards of high quality print speed. In standard mode for A4 paper it prints about 25 sheets ...
...ink is important and while Canon cannot argue that they have the cheapest of cartridges, they can offer a competitive product at a good value for money price. In my opinion they offer a good deal considering the lenght of time that a carteridge typically lasts and also considering the quality of the product produced by such a brand. Canon boast two key aspects to their ink, the "single ink" system which it claims puts emphasis upon economy and makes ... Read review

Advantages: Fine pictures!
Disadvantages: Cheaper alternatives

...you would expect, coupled with Canon reliability. It has a 6.1 cm LCD screen for displaying the saved photo to be printed and its provides sharp, vivid picture quality. the screens surrounded by seven buttons and a four-way button pad which also contains the power on button. The power on button also doubles as the power off button. Its very easy to set up and comes with red-eye removal, one feature i appreciate as those ghastly devil eyes have ruined ...
...pics though darker pictures can reduce this effect. Can be connected to your pc with the USB 2.0 cable which Canon provide. I would wait until the price dropped on this one or go for earier Selphy's which have the same picture quality at a cheaper price. ... Read review
