Thx ghwellsjr.
The lower PM is good on the original. As I mentioned earlier, printing on plain paper, say a web page, using the default program appears to be fine. It may be a setting in Qimage that I accidentally changed.
My MP970 has been printing photos well with prism profile and Qimage. But suddenly the photo turned extremely green (not just a slight cast). After reprofiling the printer, there's still a slight green cast. Does anybody know if the printer/Qimage has a setting that I may have accidentally...
Just in case if you are not aware, canon runs a "trade in" program or rather they call it "Canon Customer Loyalty program". The program allows you to trade up a dead canon camera for a refurbished one. Works for printers as well...
Check out www.dpreview.com. A very good site for cameras.
It depends what kind of photography you do. Sounds like a point and shoot pocket-size is what you are looking for. Canon SD1200IS is great. If you want one with a zoom, then Panasonic Lumix with 10X and the newer one with 12X as well...
I have both IP4500 and the AIO MP610. Both good, no problem with either at all. I read somewhere that they have the same print engine. They certainly use the same of carts.
I use these http://www.staples.com/Staples-Bright-White-Inkjet-Paper-8-1-2-x-11-Ream/product_733332?cmArea=SEARCH
They are pretty good but don't know how it compares with the rest of the world of paper. A box (10 reams last a life time for me). The 20lbs paper is the normal copy paper and I find...
Since you had an eye on MP970, I have to say that I like my MP970 a lot: print quality, scan quality. The ability to scan slides and negatives is a plus if you need it.
Another canon model may be worth looking at is MX700. It's 129USD at Amazon w/ free shipping.
I don't know how this model performs vs the 850 and 830. I do recall that one of the senior person here did not like MX700 very much [http://www.nifty-stuff.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=2497] but in the...

If you don't need the document feeder, then MP610 and MP970 are additional options. The 610 goes for about 130USD and the 970 is slightly more, if you search carefully
Just to add to Steve W's above post on PP.
I have a similar, if not identical experience. Color profiles generated for glossy and semi-glossy papers are very good. I don't need to do additional editing. I use the scanner in the AIO MP970 and vuescan (happened to have the program). I scanned the...
