Zebra Direct Quick Print 3000 - labels

Advantages: Excellent photo prints, simple to use.
Disadvantages: Not found any yet.

...It's not an attractive looking printer but looks don't make it work. I have just received Canon ip3000 printer and a Kodak cx7430 digital camera as a Christmas present off my wife. I am only used to my old Desk Jet 400 printer (which still works). I hate having to learn about new equipment and seeing four ink cartridges set me into a panic.

Heres why this printer is an amazing contraption: ^^^^ Features ^^^^ I suppose the most noticable function the IP3000 can perform is printing direct onto a CD surface. There is a CD drawer in which you simply insert a blank CD and away you go. Of course you would need blank faced CDs. The cheapest ones I managed to find were from PC World. They're Verbatim make and they cost £6.99 for 10... Read review
