Digital camera reviews of Canon PIXMA iP3000 Photo Printer
Digital camera Review: Excellent Printer
Summary: 5 Stars
Great Prints - all kinds of paper. Printing on both sides is awesome! Ink cartridges are cheap to buy, it almost doesn't pay to re-fill - but I do anyway.Digital camera Review: Excellent Prints, Totally Satisfied!! Puzzling C/NET Review.
Summary: 5 Stars
I was a little skeptical of this printer mainly because C/NET gave it such a low 6.7 rating. But I decided to go with it because of the amazingly positive reviews here on Amazon. Well the people have spoken and they are right and C/NET is wrong. I wonder who paid them off to print such an outlandish review. The prints are amazing - much better even than when I took my Memory Stick to the store to do it there for 19 cents. This is only about 3 or 4 cents a 4x6 for the ink and you can find 4x6 inch paper fairly cheap nowadays, so it's actually cheaper to print them in your home than at the store. One thing I recommend is to go with genuine Canon paper. The quality is much better on their own paper than on that of third party paper. Other than that this is a great printer for an amazing price. I'm just glad I listened to real buyers than C/NET's supposed "experts."Digital camera Review: Excellent machine
Summary: 5 Stars
Fabulous but discontinued, best for recharging cartidges where it is allowed like in my countryDigital camera Review: Excellent printer with fantastic features
Summary: 5 Stars
I have used Lexmark, Canon, and Epson inkjets at home over the years. The iP3000 is my latest printer, and without doubt, the best. BTW, keep away from Epson - extortion and waste of resources.
You will probably discover the glowing reviews that others have written. In addition to everything positive written here, I have the following:
1. Really good, comprehensive driver software. - You can set it up to auto turn on and off.
2. Among all the other features, a most unique one is - set its 'quiet' hours!! You can actually set it to print quietly during 9pm-6am say. Unbelievable I tell you!! And it is very quiet. Truly a marriage-saver feature for those in small apartments where computer setup coexists with the bed.
3. Ease of cartridge refil. Can't tell you enough how evil Epson is with their slim cartridges and microchip on the cartridge that prevents refills.
4. Duplex, baby!! This is my first inexpensive printer with duplex.
5. 2 paper trays. This printer plays like the big boys.
Only potential drawback - possible lack of banner feature. Did not find it in docs so assuming it doesn't do it.
Oh yes and another minor issue - my amazon-supplied printer was USB only. An issue for those with working printer cable who would like to keep a USB port open for other stuff.
Digital camera Review: Excellent printer, you wont regret buying it
Summary: 5 Stars
This printer is simply amazing. ok, it doesnt have a parrallel port connection, but does anyone really need 1? It uses usb just fine. It is very inexpensive and cant understand what more you could get by getting a higher priced printer. I had considered getting the ip4000 or ip5000 but I figured I dont do much photo printing so I went with this. After printing a photo when I set it up, I cant see how the other models could be much better. It looks like i just brought the photo home from the photo lab! Setup was easy on an XP machine. I havent tried duplex printing yet but im sure it works fine. Oh and as far as how loud it is...after the initial click which isnt very loud, it produces almost no noise at all while printing. Run your finger over a piece of paper from side to side a few times, thats about the noise that it makes. Other than the initial click, you could print while someone is sleeping in the room. It even has a quiet mode which I guess is supposed to make the click quieter but I see no need for it since its already pretty quiet. If youre considering a printer, just buy this one, you wont regret it!
