Advantages: Brilliant Prints, Individual Cartridges, Good Tech.Support
Disadvantages: Sometimes hard to find cartridges

...It has a connection for Canon cameras that have the some connection. USB connection Power lead. Individual cartridges. The best thing I've found about it is that I don't have to fork out over £20 for a cartridge at a time, instead the choice that having individual cartridges means that I pay around £9 a time for colour and £11 for black. The print quality is fantastic and its easy to choose which settings you need. It also has the ability in ...
...much more. The only problem I have ever found is that sometimes it can be hard to find the cartridges, this was a particular problem when I first got it but now its a little older its easier.

Advantages: economical
Disadvantages: A bit of messing around to use third party cartidges

I have had this printer for over a year now - I bought it when they had just hit the market. Looking at the price now brings a tear to my eye (£54 is an absolute bargain). I shopped around at the time & paid around £90.

...is logged by the printer - so bye bye warranty! I would say it is quite economical with the ink - I have only replaced the cartridges a couple of times & it does see a reasonable amount of use.

A black and white letter can be printed in a similar time ...
...the "go" button, and your Canon software will auto recognise what you are trying to do, import the scanned image, and then print it on your new media without any further adjustment. It's as close to magic as any software I've ever seen. Just a word of warning when printing onto a DVD/CD - make sure the disc is pressed down into it's holder, else it may clash with the print head. The Canon software also installs a small toolbar in Internet Explorer ... Read review

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 th
