Advantages: Cheap and replaceable. Attractive and efficient technology. Disadvantages: Ink costs more than the machine. Potential ecological mayhem.
My new Canon PIXMA IP1800 replaces my Canon PIXMA IP1600 so the planet may be doomed and It could be my fault.
My Canon PIXMA IP1600 had nothing wrong with it. It wasn't broken. The pictures spilled out on glossy paper at A4 ready for framing. The text was crisp and black. I'd had it for a year or so. It was cheap yet efficient and as good as any printer I'd ever owned. It had no tray to catch paper coming out but otherwise was printing perfectly ... ...I bought the Canon PIXMA IP1800 which is also excellent. But why bother? They're almost the same machine!
The ink is running out on my old printer and, bizarrely, new cartridges would cost more than a brand new one. My wife was furious. She looked at the packets of ink cartridges with a shop assistant because she didn't believe me when I told her this.
'The ink costs more than a new printer? That's ridiculous! I'm offended as an environmentalist ...

Review of Canon PIXMA iP1800
Advantages: Excellent text Disadvantages: No paper tray!
...on my previous experience of Canon printers - I opted for a Pixima with FINE technology. I already have a very good photo printer in the shape of the Epson R800, and an Epson 830U which I use for rough drafts as it is on it's last legs. Fact is, I needed a printer to print decent quality letters and the odd mixed text and image sheet. I previously used an old Canon S520 but it finally gave up the ghost, and I have to say the i1800 - at about a quarter ... ...capable machine.
It prints in various modes (high, standard, draft and custom) and in high quality mode, the text is as good as any printer I've seen. It's not fast though, so if you print a lot of text you may want to look at a laser. Printing text over colour (a sample web page) was not so hot, but I don't really care!
Photo printing is acceptable, though I didn't buy it for that purpose and only printed one quick pic to get an idea. I imagine ...

Advantages: Value for money, design Disadvantages: Size, no paper tray
I was looking for a printer that would be good value for money. I came across the Epson iP1800 and I really fell for the colour and design and its glossy finish. What dissapointed me though was that their was no cable inside, which was to cost me another £10-15 to purchase and no paper tray for prints, somethin I have never before seen missing in a printer. The iP1800s printing quality is perfect for me, but it was a little disspointing when I printed ... ...still the images where not as impressive as my last HP printer. The software which it came with was very basic, just photo printing tools. Overall however, it is exceptional value for money, and it's design will allow the printer to fit in with most surroundings and decorational tastes. The main drawbacks for me where the size and the fact that their was no cable inside. ...

Advantages: Photo lab quality at a low price Disadvantages: None that I could see
...use the FINE Cartridge, genuine Canon inks and genuine Canon photo paper. However you can use other companies inks that are compatible. I have done this and can't really see the difference.
**************SOFTWARE*****************
Another plus for this product that I like is the Easy-to-use software which is essential to get the most out the printer. I can print beautiful digital photos in just a few clicks with the Easy-PhotoPrint. I can also can ... ...easily print basic layouts using Easy-LayoutPrint. Another thing I like and you really must check out is the perfect web printouts without the loss of page edges with Easy-WebPrint.
*************DESIGN************** Personally speaking I very much like the design of this printer and feel it is very stylish in design. It fits very easily into any surroundings. The PIXMA iP1800 is a very deep black and has a mirror finish and the corners are in matte ...

I had my Cannon PIXMA IP1800 4 months ago. As i am a student i have to print a lot. I also print photo with this printer. The printing quality is great. The most collest thing is the design of the printer. It's shiny black. I print a lot of document with the printer. The words are soo clear. befor that i had a lexmark w2600 printer. That was no a photo printer & the printing quality of document is not like cannon. First day i print one of our family ... ...What a quality! Clean photo. this printer works great with gloosy paper. i made less noise then HP. My lexmaek also made too much noise. The speed is good. This printer print fast. Last is the printer is not soo expensive. The price is affordable for students. But there is no paper tray with this printer. Thats ok. This is a right printer for Home use. ...

I just purchased the IP1800 printer from Canon. It is a replacement for my old IP1500, which after more than 4 years starts to show some problems. As usual with this brand, I was not disappointed. The printer is simple, yet does the job. It was installed OK on VISTA and functioned immediately. I also found out the catridges to be big,and the ones that came with the printer are quite full. After doinf the tests and the necessary alignments, I revied ... ...for the household purposes, that printer surely delivers. I found the design somewhat odd - the printer is big compared to older models. This means for table space gone for me. It is also coloured black which for me is a disadvantage - I need to clean it a lot. as a whole I am satisfied ! ...
