Canon i900D Ink Cartridges

Canon i900D Printer Review

Designed with photography professionals and to a lesser extent graphic artists, the Canon i900D photo printer is a big player for its size. It has an eight-color palette in its print head. Red and green have been added to enhance these colors in photo prints. Though speed is fast, it is measured in how long specific size prints take to complete. Borderless 4" x 6" prints that take less than a minute and superb 13" x 19" borderless prints that take just a few minutes make it easy to see the commercial value. Small enough to fit on a slim shelf, it will efficiently print without taking much space.

At a relatively small size, 26.0" x 7.6" x 14.0" and weighing 30.8 pounds, the Canon i900D is deceptive in its abilities. The resolution of 4800 x 1200 dpi makes clear, detailed large prints with excellent quality. One of the features of the cartridge system is the 25-year life span of the ink when used with Canon's long-life paper. The Canon i900D printer employs the same group of cartridges used in the Canon "FINE" inkjet system that can be removed individually when empty. It is easy to tell when a cartridge is empty because they are see-through. Most glossy and plain printer papers, posters and 13 x 19" stock media are acceptable.

A USB and a direct print port provide a flexible interface connection will link to Mac 10.2 and Windows XP computers easily. Provided software guides you through about a 10-minute setup process.

Creativepro.com and PhotoNet.com are expert reviewers of photo print products. Each had a common impression that though they preferred HP products, the line became less clear when testing the Canon i900D inkjet printer. It matched or beat the others in several areas. One notable feature was the lower ink cost for the Canon.

If you need to replace a professional grade inkjet printer, be sure to give the Canon i900D a look.
