Positives: Have had a PIXMA Pro 9000 for a year and love it's quality (use Canon paper and ink only!). With a simple firmware reload and a "Type E" tray it can also print directly on CDs. I find the Pro 9000 to be much more reliable than my previous Epson and HP printers. It's much faster than any comparably priced Epson and it's much less prone to print head clogging. Negatives: The Pro 9000 ink cartridges are expensive and not that large, so empty quickly. Also, since they are "chipped" they can't be refilled without overriding the auto level sensing system.

I am a professional photographer, and I Love epson. I use the 9600, but they have smaller models available. The canons are getting better as well, but epson is still top notch in my book. Tom

The quality of the photos is very nice. Unfortunately, we haven't used it often as I thought we would. My husband likes printing images from our regular printer. I far as better options, I believe this is great for small pictures and would recommend it. If you like larger photos, use a regular printer.

I agree with the two previous people who posted comments about the Canon MP610 printer. It has been working flawlessly since Feb. 2008 after I purchased a new iMac running OSX 10.5.2 (Leopard). I am also using a USB cable. Last week I finally had to replace two of the color ink tanks. Either Canon has more ink in their tanks or it uses less ink than my previous EPSON printers. And I'm not using my printer any less than before. I also like having individual tanks for each color, CMYK plus pigment black for text only documents. Naturally, I ordered new ink tanks from Amazon because of "best price" and free delivery. I agree with the two previous people who posted comments about the Canon MP610 printer.

Hello,I'm sorry but I couldn't find a MX-920 Canon printer? Is there possibly another model number that it goes under?Thanks,Troy

Thanks for your review and great job on the research. I need your opinion on something. Although, the current price of the XT and and XTi is less than $200.00. difference, the List price is the XTI is twice as much as the XI. I kind of agree that the XTi isn't really much of an upgrade over the XTi and some of the superior features of the XIT I'm not really to concern about except the 8MP and 10MP. I'm not a proffesional or anything like nor I plan to do large prints, but should I pay those extra bucks just for 10MP? Please help anyone.

I'm thinking of buying this printer. I LOVE using Picasa3. If I buy this particular printer and I will be using Picasa3 and IF I find the same problems you are talking about, I'll get back to you. Thanks for the information you've passed along. I've LOVED my HP Photosmart 7550 but it just quit accepting ANY ink cartridges! Can't find it's problem. Printed beauuuuuutifully.

All my Canon Pixma printers have done a great job of photos. Currently using the MX926. I think you are best to do research on the canon website as they will advise what printers do a good job with photos. Look under their printer section.

I don't see why not. I am also an artist and have made beautiful prints of my paintings using this printer. For best results, a good quality scanner is mandatory. Mine is a large-format scanner that handles a 12 X 17 image, but if you work smaller, a standard size scanner should be fine. Also try to use the best photo paper you can afford- I prefer a matte surface.

I only use it for 4X6 prints. I do not see any other options to pick from. I believe it may be able to print other sizes. But you may have to contact Epson. I have asked for help on line and they are very helpful!!!

I don't have an answer, Scott, but seeing as how the 3-color cartridge is such a limitation, both in ink usage and in printing pure blacks, I wonder what the possibility is that Dymo will bring out a DiscPainter II shortly, with at least 2 cartridges. There's certainly room for them back there, and it makes a lot of sense. With my luck, they'll do it right after I buy the 3-color version. ;-)Thanks for your review. Re the dithering, is it really that bad when printing in high-resolution? Seems like at 1200 dpi the dithering ought to be minimal, but then I haven't seen one of these.

This is my third A310 printer, You can only print 4x6 photos which works well for I use my photos for refrence for painting. I've only used HP photo paper. I use it more times than from my computer. You can print photos from your computer by attaching the USB cord into your computer. On your print set up, just select HPA310 instead of your default printer.

Amazon asked me to respond but I found the machine too be cheap and I was told to throw it out, and I got my $ back.I bought a Canon MX922 and the print quality is far superior (and no constant paper jamming)!

Yes you can print from iOS devices, I print to it from an iPad and you just need to download the free Canon app from the app store. You might find your best option for printing is to use the bordered option rather than boarder-less which can end up cropping bits of the photo. We've also used these for taking photos and printing them off at exhibitions for people to walk away with and it worked very well, the best solution I found if you need mobile printing

Laura: in all fairness I use it primarily for photography, and art reproduction in Canvas. I can only recall doing a test print of various fonts. That looked very good, but I hadn't printed text on it other than that one time.

Actually, I returned this printer for refund after finding out it would not do what I wanted to do and also because the ink consumption was PHENOMENAL!!!! Also, when you run out of ink, it just stops! DEAD! Until you get new cartridges, which do NOT hold as much ink as other printer cartridges. Overall, I was NOT impressed with this printer at all. Good luck! :O) (Oh, btw, I bought a Canon MG 6220 printer and I am very happy with this one!

I found the Apple AirPrint to be less than optimal. It requires more than just a simple Print.I downloaded the Epson "iPrint" app to my iPad and iPhone. That works fine for me.

Hi Phil (again) just wanted to tell you that there IS a setting to change on the printer list to change the paper type CANVAS. Although I have never done that so I am not sure what the quality would be. I will say that the quality of all the photos I do on glossy photo paper are outstanding. Hope this helps. I have also NEVER had one negative issue with this printer like some of the other people below have said. I have owned it for over 3 years, and I love love it.
