Digital camera reviews of Canon PIXMA iP6700D Photo Printer (1441B002)
Digital camera Review: Fast shipping and excellent quality
Summary: 5 Stars
I thank you very much for your diligence. I received the printer even faster that what I thought. Product arrived in excellent condition and the quality is extraordinary.
I thank you very much for your service. I highly recommend this vendor
Digital camera Review: Fast, Fine and Fair
Summary: 4 Stars
First, this printer is fast. Considering the quality of the prints, it really cranks them out in a hurry.
Second, it's very fine resolution. The quality for such an inexpensive printer is far better than expected. It rivals the very expensive photo printers.
Third, the price is more than fair. Considering it does borderless printing and produces archival prints, you would expect it to cost four or five times as much.
The only negative is the printer interface. It's not as intuitive as it should be. It takes some experimentation to figure out how to set all the parameters to get exactly what you want. Once you figure it out, write it down because it defaults back after each print.
That being said, it's still an incredible printer for the price. I replaced an HP photo printer and consider it a great trade.
Digital camera Review: First rate printer!! Amazing!
Summary: 5 Stars
The Canon Pixma iP6700D Photo Printer is an excellent product, I recommend it without reservation. Set up was EASY, printing from media cards out of the digital camera works well too. So far, what I like best is the Easy Print utility that runs from the PC or laptop. Using this function, I can select photos stored on the laptop, arrange them on pages, correct as needed, and print them in less time than it takes to write this review! This is the first Canon printer I've purchased, and it is, by far the BEST printer I've ever owned.Digital camera Review: Fun!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I asked for this photo printer for Christmas this year after doing seriously extensive research on amazon.com, Cnet.com, and more. I'm so glad I went with the ip6700D. It was easy to set up (even with the multiple ink tanks) and I was printing out a photo in less than 20 minutes or so. BEWARE: just like, I believe, every new printer being sold today, NO printer cable is included in the box. Luckily, I found an extra cord sitting around so did not have to delay my need for instant gratification. I used the borderless 4x6 Canon glossy paper for my first photo print trial - of a photo from my recent wedding. It came out beautifully - the image was sharp, the colors were vibrant. I have since printed out many more 4x6 and also 2x3 prints and they have all looked great. I have not yet tried doing larger prints although I have bought the 5x7 and 8x10 Canon photo paper. It is so much fun to be able to get actual prints from your digital camera within seconds! The printing is fast. No smearing or fading issues so far (It's only been 1 month).
Regular printing is very decent, in fact the quality is better than my HP Officejet. There are quite a few ink tanks required and they are quite small, although I have not run out of any of them yet. I did already buy one entire set to have ready in reserve (cheapest price I found was here on Amazon).
I am no professional photographer but I have started getting more into digital photography as a hobby. To my pretty much untrained eye, the prints from this printer look as good as what I could get from store or online processing, and everyone who has seem them is mighty impressed, and often wants to go buy this printer, too!
Digital camera Review: GREAT REPLACEMENT FOR MY CANON I950
Summary: 5 Stars
If you read the reviews on the Canon i950, you'll see the early reviews are generally positive, but the later reviews are generally negative as the printheads started failing a year or two later. I can vouch for that. My i950 was a great printer for about 2 ½ years, but then I was having to do the deep cleanings more and more often to keep the print quality at an acceptable level. Lots of wasted ink and wasted paper.
I finally decided to retire the old printer and get a new one. I did quite a bit of research on Canon, HP and Epson printers in the $150-$300 price range. I even looked at the "pro" printers from Canon and HP, but I just couldn't swallow the $500-$600 price tag.
What finally pushed me into the 6900d was two things. First, it got pretty good reviews across the board, and second, Staples had it on sale for $129 ($179 with a $50 rebate-sorry Amazon). A high quality, name brand photo printer for $129? I couldn't pass on that.
Set up was extremely easy. From opening the box to printing my first photo was less than 15 minutes, and that included a 4 minute printhead alignment that the printer runs as part of the set-up process. Instructions for setting up the printer itself were clear and accurate, and the software installed easily with no hassles.
Photo quality is very good. I printed out several 4 x 6's and a couple of 8 x 10's, and they look great. Color is accurate, and saturation seems about where it should be. This is with absolutely no adjustments, except for putting the print quality on high. Speed is fine. I knocked out the 4 x 6's in well under a minute, and the 8 x 10's in a little over a minute.
I won't comment on the LCD screen or the built in card reader, because I will never print any photo without cropping and editing in Photoshop. If you like to take your card right out of your camera and print your photos right away, then I guess you'll enjoy these features.
Obviously I can't comment on the longevity of the printer since I've only had it for a short while. I did consider whether to buy another Canon due to the printhead problems I had with my i950, but at the end of the day, if you read enough reviews, you realize that every printer brand seems to have its own problems and issues. The way I looked at it, for $129 this is like a disposable item. If I can get 2-3 good years out of it, then I'll be happy and ready to move on to the next printer.
A couple of words of advice....if you are a discriminating photo enthusiast, do use Canon inks and Canon paper. It really does make a difference. I've seen a few people comment that they used off brand paper or ink, and the results were "close enough". Well "close enough" is not good enough for me. I notice a significant difference in the print quality. The good news is that I tried the Canon Photo Pro paper (very expensive) and the Canon Photo Plus Glossy (pretty cheap considering you can buy 120 4 x 6's for around $15 here at Amazon), and the difference is virtually indistinguishable. In fact, I printed out 2 identical photos with each kind of paper on the 6700d, and I asked people if they could tell the difference. Most couldn't, and a few even said that they thought the cheaper paper had the better quality. Unless your experience is different than mine, load up on the cheaper paper.
The bottom line is that this is a very good photo inkjet printer, for a pretty reasonable price.
