I can't even tell you how great this printer is with printing pictures, color and black and white prints.  Quality is so great.  The printer was very easy to set up (despite the odd reviews saying it was a hard set-up).  I love the instant ink program.  The printer is wireless and you can print from your phone, ipad, etc.  You also get an email address for the printer so you can email the printer attachments from wherever and when you get home, the printer has printed all the attachments.  I did that yesterday--so fabulous!  I couldn't be more pleased with this printer.

I originally picked out this printer based on a lot of research and had decided it was the one I wanted.  Then, when I first saw the phenomenal rebate I could not believe it.  When i verified it was for real I took the leap.  I have had 3 previous Epson photo printers and am replacing my R800.  I got some good prints over the years from the 3 but more often than not I was struggling with the all too familiar issues with horrible colors.  I use a completely color-managed workflow including calibrated monitors.  Got to the point that poor results drove me away from printing.  Well now... I received the PIXMA PRO-100 last night.  After spending about 30 minutes setting it up it was ready for the first print.  I opened a picture in Photoshop, did nothing to it, and then hit print.  I used Canon Pro Luster paper.  I was actually nervous as the print inched its way out of the printer.  As the image came out I began shaking and nearly teared up.  Not kidding.  After years of struggling with printing, here came an absolutely beautiful print.  Of course it was a picture of 2 pints of Guiness, at the Guiness Warehouse in Dublin, so maybe that is why I was in tears!  The pints were full and foamy, sitting on a stainless steel bar.  What struck me most was how great the clear part of the glass looked.  The foam was dead on, and the beer was perfectly brown guiness color.  Blacks and shadows were amazing.  The stainless steel was amazing as well.  Subtle differences in the steel, from shadows, and reflections, were all right there in the print.  Just beautiful and I will indeed hang this very first print on my wall, it is that great.  Thinking this one may be a fluke, I tried two more prints.  One had a lot of green foliage, and orange flowers, along with my wife's beautiful face.  The other was the muted tones of multicolor row houses in an Irish seafront village.  Both of these prints were just as stunning.  And all of this is right out of the box.  For $189 after rebates, this printer cannot be beat, just simply amazing.

I bought one of these a couple months ago and I am completely amazed at the quality and speed of the prints.  They look highly professional on any white paper and even some "card" like stock (have not tried transparencies).  The print speed is much faster than laser and so far the print server and all prints have been flawless.  We print several hundred pages per month, and I have owned several various models of HP printers, none of which have printed so many pages without some sort of jam or need to reset the print server.  I absolutely love the solid ink.  It involves so little packaging, its almost sickening to think about all the waste of laser or even inkjet!  Yes, this printer is better to be left on.  It sits and makes no noise whatsoever in standby (can't say that about laser), and when I am about to print I just touch any button on the front panel to get it out of standby so that by the time I send the document to the printer, its all ready to go.
This may not be the best printer for the casual user, but for those that don't mind leaving a printer turned on all the time, this is by far the best printer I have seen.  The duplex printing is fantastic also.
Note that you may want to place this somewhere such that there is nothing above the printer for at least a foot or so.  The top lifts up to load ink, and it is somewhat heavy - you don't want to have to move it or unplug it to load the ink, so keep that in mind.
The price was hard to digest initially but seems like a real bargain to me now.

I just received this as a gift as I had asked for a printer specifically for photos. Admittedly I have not tried using glossy or matte photo paper yet but comparing the results on plain paper to my HP officejet 5510 is no contest. The HP blows this printer away. The canon colors are dull the HP colors are bright and fantastic.

Furthermore, the HP includes a fax and a doc feeder for the copier. (I don't know the price comparison so perhaps this isn't fair, but I would never print photos with this canon and that's the only reason I was looking for another printer anyway.)

Also - the setup is sooooo much more painful than with HP. Inserting the print head and cartridges is a much bigger pain. The fact that you have to peer inside the guts of the printer to find the serial number for registration is really annoying. Finally, this printer does not come with a USB cable - that really blows my mind. It can't add THAT much to the cost of the unit to include the cable and its almost unusable without that. (On the plus side, you can print directly from - some - cameras to the canon, which the HP can't do AFAIK, but the HP includes a USB cable.)

I will try a second comparison with photo quality paper, but I'm not optimistic. (And yes, I did make sure that the canon was set for plain paper -- this does make a difference but still doesn't come close to the quality of the HP printer)

Having read some of the reviews, I was anxious to receive and try this printer.  I was NOT at all disappointed.  As the ratings show, I don't think there could possibly be any printer that is better.  When you throw in price, quality and speed, you can't go wrong.  From the very first print, I was amazed.  I printed a 5 megapixel (2592 x 1944-2.3 MB) digital picture as a 13 x 19 borderless print, and to the naked eye, saw no pixelation.  I'm using the printer to make photographic backdrops for a model railroad in addition to prints for framing and hanging.  I have been using Epson printers for close to to 20 years.  I have never been disappointed.

When I first tried out the Canon s900 printer, I was sure the photo quality would be great (Canon is known for that)but I doubted that it could really print out a 2400x1200 4x6 photo in 30 seconds...but it did!  On some pictures, it takes even less time than that!  And the photo quality could not be better--it is relieveing to watch this printer shoot out a picture at such high speeds (any other printer would take 5 min to print the same thing)and, on close inspection, I am hard pressed to find ANY dots or graininess--and it is crisp, not blurry, which I have seen dye-subs to be.  My dad has an HP "photo printer" that takes for-ever to print out pics that don't look half as good.  On top of that, I can replace each of the six colors individually--which is fortunate, because they run out at VERY different times.  I read in every review site that Canon has by far the most inexpensive and economical ink system, which also helped in my decision.  This is without a doubt the best printer out there!

The printer was delivered on time.  I bought the printer primarily for printing pictures and I could not be more pleased with the excellent quality of the pictures that I have printed.  On a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being the poorest, I would rate this printer as 10+.

Simply amazing printing, and copying. Super fast printing and easy to setup. I have found the networked scanning and printing to bit difficult when printing or scanning from a Mac. I've had to remove and re add the printer a few times. Still ten times better than any other networked printer I have used. I would totally recommend for a Black and White workhorse.

I recently purchased this printer after reading favorable reviews in PC publications.  I was mainly interested in photo printing but wanted more versatility in order to reduce the clutter on an already overloaded desktop.  I've been nothing but impressed with the printer since taking it out of the box.
Setup was easy, although the steps are in an unusual order compared to other printers/peripherals that I've installed in the past - pay attention to the setup poster.
It prints beautiful photos with vivid color and crisp detail.  However, the speed has been the pleasant surprise:  I typically print a 4x6 at the highest resolution in about a minute and an 8x10 in under four.  Plain paper printing is also very good for everyday documents.
The copier, scanner and fax functionalities all work as they should.  An intuitive control panel and LCD display make every function very easy to use.  The bundled software also allows control from your PC console and it's one of the nicer ones that I've seen (i.e. you can program your fax numbers from the PC rather than the printer's keypad and can even instantly import information from Outlook).
The gripes that I have are minor compared to the output that this machine produces.  First, it is a very big printer - the pictures don't do it justice.  Second, it jerks back and forth while printing enough to cause minor vibrations in my desk.  I recommend figuring a way to put it on its own dedicated printer cart.  Third, for the price, it would have been nice to have the second paper tray thrown into the deal - every now and then I waste a piece or two of photo paper on the grocery list because I forgot to swap out the paper.
To recap,
PROS
*  Excellent print quality for both photos and documents
*  Print speed
*  Ease of use
CONS
*  Bulky unit doesn't belong on most desktops
*  High price doesn't include some extras that it should

This printer is amazing. It was so easy to set up and prints beautifully. I've used Epson printers for many years and I am never disappointed. The one button touch setup wizard added this printer directly to my home network and once I downloaded the Epson iPrint app, I was printing photos from my Apple phone in about 10 minutes. The ink that is used in this portable compact printer is great for scrapbookers - it lasts for many, many years. The quality of the photos are terrific. Save, having to go to the big box stores for printing, get this printer today.

I received this printer last year as a holiday gift and I have not found a flaw yet......it prints very crisp photos that rival any camera store product, it is amazingly easy to use, has lots of editing capabilites, easy to navigate functions, accepts all kinds of digital cards (which is GREAT since you don't have to buy a different printer if you change digital cameras) and prints up to 10 x 12 photos.  This printer is well worth the price; in fact, I'd be willing to pay more so it's a bargain.  This printer gets heavy usuage (it goes thru at least one ink cartridge change per 75 photos) and I have two toddlers who have - not on my watch - "played" with it and it still works like a dream.  Does it get any better than this?!?  I think not.

UPDATE / SEPTEMBER 2007 (nearly 3 years later): I still love this photo printer.  It has survived play-doh and numerous other assults without lasting injury.  A few minor fixable issues is all she wrote (pennies stuck inside the paper tray, etc.).  I use this printer every day without a problem.  The only issue I have is the higher volume memory sticks are not recognized by this machine and I might end up upgrading.

I love photography and take a lot of photos. I just completed an 18 day fall foliage vacation and used this printer to print out photos for an album to share. It works excellent. It's not quick at printing but the results are great. It's so much cheaper using this and printing out your own photos then using a Polaroid type of camera, and this gives you an outstanding print. I highly recommend it.

This is a good printer, especially because it is not too expensive.  It's pretty big & bulky, and not real quick printing, but that is my only "complaint."  It's print quality is amazing, and it has tons of features that I will actually use!  It is great for the average home who does not do a ton of print/copy jobs.  I haven't tried the photo printing yet, but if the print/copy quality is any indication, I have no doubt it will be the same quality.

I bought this printer to print papers and things for school. It's fantastic! It prints like no other, it sits under my desk and takes whatever I throw at it. It prints all my papers and my friends papers, and it NEVER runs out of ink. I red somewhere that it gets 12,000 pages per toner and the toner is really cheap! I'll add an amazon link in a bit!

Have had this printer since Nov '17 and it's been great! One of the best printers I have ever owned and there are specific reasons:
1) Setup was super easy, even for WiFi if you just take your time and follow the directions step by step (15 mins)
2) It simply works!! Even when in standby for days/weeks I can easily print from my phones, laptops, even Chromebooks!
3) Ink doesn't dry out! There have been stretches where I won't print for close to a month and when I do, printouts looks great. No head cleaning, alignment etc that just wastes ink (looking at you HP)
4) InkVestment Ink looks to live up to its name as current cartridges are going strong

Overall I'm glad and have recommended this printer to everyone I know that asks. I'm honestly a bit shocked I did not just look at Brother printers earlier b/c it would have saved me a lot of time, frustration and costs with other brands.

This printer is great!  I had some learning curve issues but I figured it out quickly with great support and now we are printing faster than ever.  I have been wanting to upgrade from my first printer (from another manufacturer I will not mention) ever since I got it and I hemmed and hawed over what to get.  So happy I want with the Leapfrog!  The interface is so easy it's like using an iPod and it is so fast!  I cannot recommend this printer highly enough!
