Canon i9100 Ink Cartridges

Canon i9100 Printer Review

Trimmed to an even more manageable size, the Canon i9100 employs the same basic features as its predecessor, the i9000 photo printer. In professional photography environments, this printer also is loaded with great features tucked into a small package. Like its sister mode, it is noted for its speedy output of photo-lab quality prints. Prints only take a few minutes to complete, allowing for quick turnaround with little trouble.

Weighing in at 17.5 pounds and dimensionally 22.5"x13.1"x7.7" this printer leaves a small footprint. Don't let that fool you. It will still process from 4x6" to 19" borderless prints with superb 4800 x 2400 dpi resolution at class-leading speed. Cartridge yields are determined by the density of the photos. The 8-color inkjet head uses an 8-color system that adds red and green cartridges to intensify the range of these primary colors. Though it will make nice graphics, this printer is designed for photo reproduction in professional settings.

The USB interface allows for super fast data transfer while the 42KB RAM built into this inkjet optimizes print speed as it doesn't depend on the transfer rate. This unit supports Windows XP and Mac 10.2 platforms and their successors. Easy setup software and online editing are available.

Reviews posted on sites like PhotographyReview.com and Epinions.com give a real world picture of the Canon i900. One commented, "The conclusion is Canon printers can't be beat." Noted was the good quality and sleek lines of this neat, little printer. A couple of reviews mentioned the need to adjust settings to get the great prints to appear. One mentioned that it was only good for the 13" x 19" prints, but others said it was only through knowledge of the printer's functions that the real quality shines.

Canon's reputation for creating world-class products is no exception with this model.
