My eyeballs are not supergood---but I would bet not enough cyan or yellow.--maybe both.---ditch sunvision cartridges first thing. Maybe not enough photoblack either. Do nozzle check first thing. But magenta looks good and sharpness looks good also.

To del08oy 78, If you are willing to table the networking question, its still somewhat iffy on what to get--especially by Saturday---not because of lack of choices---but because of lack of availability.---simply because--and I should add in MHO---the better choices we should have in a free...

To Jetstream Rider, The ix4000 sounds like a great printer--and A3 is always a nice option---but if the chipped Cartridges start getting a little salty to replace, always remember a chipped Canon can be refilled. So to be safe--keep your wingnuts and use them to cap the ink outlet hole when the...

To del80y8, Canon inkjets--with the excption of models with a R suffix are less than stellar in networking, But otherwise I would tend to recommend a MP760 is you can find one. The MP760 is non-chipped and has an excellent scanner---the MP750&780 are similar but lack the really good scanner...

To Jetstream Rider, You are correct, the ix4000 is chipped. But if you are looking for an ip4000 in the UK, you might look around for Canon refurbished ones. The other suggestion is to look for the ip4000 printer engine in multi-funtional form---which are the models MP750, MP760, and MP780. At...

Sadly my last post must have offended some diety or another. Because my trusty 10 year old crt monitor died the next morning. Well maybe not totally died but it got a severe case of the blues and a series of lines angled up 15 degrees from horizontal---the standard windows xp wall paper of the...

Right now the main difference between the ip4200 and ip5200 is printing speed==and the ip5200 has a printhead with almost double the number of nozzles. But few can tell the final product--the output apart. With the ip5200 being quite a bit more expensive---print speed vs. money. Its your call...

The answer to your question may depend on your printing volume and how much you value the various tradeoffs you are making. But from my standpoint, which is economy in printing through refilling or using third party prefilled cartridges, I would still lean towards the choice I already made---the...

No question about it in my mind-----get the printer---sell the cartridges dirt cheap on ebay, and turn the printer into this neat little flower pot you can display outside your house. Great little converstaion starter about why you should not buy a disposable printer.

The ip4000 and ip5000 use exactly the same cartridges---On one hand, the ip5000 has a higher advertised dpi, it has a printhead with almost twice as many nozzles, and the ip5000 uses the smaller 1 pico liter drops in some printing modes. On the other hand few can tell the difference in output...

Very little data I have found on the subject---but I do go back to the review by JV on bulkinkjetcarts.--one of the better third party vendors---but JV posted that the Canon OEM BCI-6 cartridge had 14 ml of ink and gave a low ink warning at 3.5 ml of ink left--and the third party cartridge only...

Re: this thread, From what I have seen over time that seems to be the concenus view---while spongeless may work in Epson printers--as of yet no spongeless design seems to work reliably in Canons. My question concerns the binary aspect of the question--on one hand you either have a sponge or...

I think I heard something about these on another forum--the cartridge itself has a special pocket to accept the chip you must cut off the OEM cartridge--cutting thge chip out o the OEM cartridge may be somewhat difficult--but once the chip is cut out--transferring the chip should be a snap. But...

Hmmmmmmmm, Lets see-----printer is not feeding paper---sounds more like bad paper gripping due to bad roller---but printer is going through the motions------where is the electrical short circuit??????????ipso ergo---the problem is mechanical not electrical.-------and the ink has absolutely nada...

To popey, Fotofreek has given you about the best compact answer that covers all the bases I have seen. The only thing I might add is that your purchase choices may be dependent on where in the world you live--with those in the USA often having the best market access---but the photoprinting...

Well, what a coincidence--------------I get in my email in box an invitation to take a survey from PC Magazine. ( note not PC World--who conducted the the link test Neil was complaining about) But PC Magazine did give a e-mail address for additional comments related or not related to the...

To Neil Slade, When I became a serious student of ink jet printers, I relied on google far too much---but if you google ink jet printers, you get something on the order of 49 million hits. And when Newton Minnow said television was a vast wasteland, it was long before the internet---I can't...

To Fano, Right now the bargain in non-chipped canons seems to be the ip6000d--try online at either outpost.com or amazon.com. Now selling far below original list price last I heard.

You also have to remember that the $100/gallon price is retail---its way less wholesale. But even at the 100vs.200 figure its more like 37 cents and a 75 cents per refill ink price. But for someone who vends prefilled cartridges cheap--that doubling of ink prices would have maybe a 25 to fifty...

I seem to recall a poll about four months back to the effect would you pay extra for third party ink that has better archival qualities. Many said no but the hypothesis was that such a third party ink could double in cost to gain that archival quality. But when you consider that Canon is...
