Epson r300 Vs Canon PIXMA IP3000 : Running costs
Can anyone offer me advice on which of the two is better value for money?. I dont want to spend a fortune on a printer. I'd be doing the occasional text printing etc. But I'd also like to try printing off my own photo's. My aim is to get a cheap and cheerful photo printer that will do the job but at the least cost. which of these has the cheapest consumables? I understand that Epsons really need to use their own paper as you may get blotching. Is this true?. How about the canons? would i have to stick to their branded papers?. How about ink costs?. Im kinda leaning towards the canon as i like the space/antidust design, plus I still use the old cannon bj240 printer which has served me well. Im not too fussed about the lack of card reader as picbridge is fine for me. Also, are the prints water resistant etc?is this down to the paper or the ink? . Lol, Sorry bout the questions.. Any advice would be greately appreciated!. Confused

The IP3000 uses the same old ink that Canon has used for a long time, it's cheap, widely available and very easy to refill. Print quality is excellent, and it's also a full duplexing printer which is cool. 2 paper feeds, and a very nice driver. There are reports of print head failures, but I've not had any issues with it. It's an amazingly good value.

First of All, Epson is cheap but epson cartridges are not. Try this. http://www.InkRepublic.com http://www.inkrepublic.com/VideoClips.asp With bulk ink system, I am sure Epson is so much better.

Epson R200 Vs Canon Pixma iP3000
I want to buy a basic photo printer. R200 and iP3000 seem to have same price. I think R200 has five color and one black ink tanks whereas iP3000 has three color and one black tanks. Which one is better for quality of prints and trouble free operations? Thanks in advance. > R200 and iP3000 seem to have same price. I think R200 has five color and > one black ink tanks whereas iP3000 has three color and one black tanks. I own both. The r200 has extra light cyan and light magenta The r300 is the same but has the fancy screen and pictbridge The ip3000 has the usual black cyan magenta yellow, smaller drop size The ip4000 has two blacks and the usual inks 2pl The ip5000 has the same but smaller 1pl ink drop size. The ip6000 has a larger 2pl but offers the light cyan/magenta inks I leaned tward the r200 for out of the box print accuracy. It worked fine for 6 months before it clogged and overflowed with ink. Your experence could be better, but in the past the epsons clogged easily. I'm told this one is better. But if you really like the Epson r200, and you buy OEM ink, it's only typicaly $25 extra to get the printer with ink than just ink. For trouble free i'm taking a chance on the Canon. I bought the ip3000 cause the r200 was in the shop, and it was cheeper for the printer than the ink for the r200.

Canon Pixma IP3000 printer ink question
Basically, I`m looking at getting one of these printers, but spotted 2 different black ink carts, the BCI-3eBk and the BCI-6. The BCI-3eBK seems to be slightly more expensive than the BCI-6. Anyone got a clue what the difference is? Also, I was looking at an Epson R200 - is there any reason I should be panicking to cancel my order for a Canon and go for the Epson? -- What am I selling on ebay right now? http://tinyurl.com/38yjc Earn money reading emails! http://tinyurl.com/2pcgm Simon Finnigan wrote: >Basically, I`m looking at getting one of these printers, but spotted 2 >different black ink carts, the BCI-3eBk and the BCI-6. The BCI-3eBK seems >to be slightly more expensive than the BCI-6. Anyone got a clue what the >difference is? Yes, but it doesn't apply to the iP3000, which uses four ink tanks, specifically the BCI-3eBk and three BCI-6(c/m/y). The BCI-6b is a dye-based photo black. The BCI-3eBk is a pigment-based black for text. The 3e is larger and has a higher ink volume. >Also, I was looking at an Epson R200 - is there any reason I should be >panicking to cancel my order for a Canon and go for the Epson? Perhaps...have you considered the life expectancy of the printhead in the Canon printer and replacement cost? Personally I prefer the HP models because the printhead is part of the ink cartridge. You never have to worry about clogging or failure. I had a Canon i850 (previous model to the i...
Epson R380 vs. Canon Pixma MP470
A few months ago I purchased an Epson Stylus Photo R380 printer which is promoted as being excellent for printing photographs. No matter what settings I've tried and what papers I've tried I have never been able to get the printer to produce printouts that don't have streaks which appear to be caused by a nozzle that isn't working correctly or is misaligned. I've gone through innumerable nozzle checks and alignments without success. Today I purchased a Canon Pixma MP470 printer and it was able to produce excellent photographs on the very first try. So, my question i...

Newest Canons vs. Epsons
I am about to buy a new photo printer. My old Epson Stylus Photo 870 has been good. Now, for my specifications. Cost - Under $250 Inks - Must be six ink of better and of latest archival evolution (ex. Chromlife, etc) Papers - I tend to use high-end paper developed by the actual manufacturer Basically, I use Photoshop to restore damaged photos. The pictures I sell should be able to last 20-30 years under glass, and should be as good as those produced by an automated photo developing machine.

Warning about Canon PIXMA iP3000/iP4000 series printers
We were considering buying a Canon PIXMA iP3000 because these are the first printers we have ever seen that finally quit ripping people off quite so much on ink. The whole printer ink jet market, until now, has been a scam, making you spend an average of $40-$60 buy new print heads and cartridges for all three colors because one color runs out. That is like having to replace your gas tank, fuel pump, radiator, water pump, windshield washer tank and wiper motors, because you ran out of gas or got too low on radiator fluid. Oh, and by the way, there are no gauges, or transparent tanks, and no ...

Cheapest Running Costs
Hello, I didn't post here for nearly 3 years, but I now need a new printer. I have been using an EPSON Stylus Colour 980, but the Print-Head got knackered after I used some cheap ink cartridges.

It's a little bit confusing now since each manufacturer have so many different models (why?).

The driver installer hangs about half way through, but it appears that the driver is installed as I can select the printer and print. The photo printing program installs, but hangs upon launch.

Hello all. As per subject line. It happened previously a short time ago, and I did what is recommended in the IP4000 manual (pdf., downloaded.): Press "Resume button", allow LED light to flash 3 times, release button, It worked then. When I tried the printer again, after a few weeks, the photo paper would not feed. I re-tried cleaning the paper feed rollers, as above, but that didn't work this time. I've had this printer just before it stopped becoming available in the UK, but I haven't used it very much. Will it help to grease or oil some mechanical parts...

Yes, but it doesn't apply to the iP3000, which uses four ink tanks, specifically the BCI-3eBk and three BCI-6(c/m/y). The BCI-6b is a dye-based photo black. The BCI-3eBk is a pigment-based black for text. The 3e is larger and has a higher ink volume. >Also, I was looking at an Epson R200 - is there any reason I should be >panicking to cancel my order for a Canon and go for the Epson? Perhaps...have you considered the life expectancy of the printhead in the Canon printer and replacement cost? Personally I prefer the HP models because the printhead is part of the ink cartridge. You never have to worry about clogging or failure. I had a Canon i850 (previous model to the i...
Epson R380 vs. Canon Pixma MP470
A few months ago I purchased an Epson Stylus Photo R380 printer which is promoted as being excellent for printing photographs. No matter what settings I've tried and what papers I've tried I have never been able to get the printer to produce printouts that don't have streaks which appear to be caused by a nozzle that isn't working correctly or is misaligned. I've gone through innumerable nozzle checks and alignments without success. Today I purchased a Canon Pixma MP470 printer and it was able to produce excellent photographs on the very first try. So, my question i...
linux & canon pixma ip3000 printer
My hp deskjet 920c broke during printjob (second hp printer with lifespan of less then 2 yrs) and i would like to buy a new color inktjet printer and preferbaly not HP, the inktcartridges cost to much too. The Canon Pixma IP3000 caught my eye and it will probably will work very good with winxp, but i have dual boot pc (winxp & fedora core3) and i would like to use the printer with linux as well. If i can't print photos or cd-roms with linux thats ok, but i would very much like to print colored text and agenda (from korganizer) and the likes. The information about canon printers ...
Newest Canons vs. Epsons
I am about to buy a new photo printer. My old Epson Stylus Photo 870 has been good. Now, for my specifications. Cost - Under $250 Inks - Must be six ink of better and of latest archival evolution (ex. Chromlife, etc) Papers - I tend to use high-end paper developed by the actual manufacturer Basically, I use Photoshop to restore damaged photos. The pictures I sell should be able to last 20-30 years under glass, and should be as good as those produced by an automated photo developing machine. This all said - which model is going to be best between Epson and Canon? Thanks ...

Printer comparison: Epson R800 vs Canon 9900
A friend is looking to replace an Epson 890 printer. The candidates he's considering are the R800 and 9900. He's aware of the fact that the 9900 supports wider media, but is mainly interested in image quality comparisons. Has anyone made any?

Warning about Canon PIXMA iP3000/iP4000 series printers
We were considering buying a Canon PIXMA iP3000 because these are the first printers we have ever seen that finally quit ripping people off quite so much on ink. The whole printer ink jet market, until now, has been a scam, making you spend an average of $40-$60 buy new print heads and cartridges for all three colors because one color runs out. That is like having to replace your gas tank, fuel pump, radiator, water pump, windshield washer tank and wiper motors, because you ran out of gas or got too low on radiator fluid. Oh, and by the way, there are no gauges, or transparent tanks, and no ...
Epson C86 photo edition vs Canon IP3000 Pixima
Hi, I am about a new printer but don't know which one to buy canon ip3000 or epson c86. I used to use epson but i have been through 3 epson printers in the last 5 years. I know printers nowadays don't last long but i would like it to last more than a 2 years. Are canon using a new head system compared to old printers which last longer? What i am looking for in a printer: 1) Long print life therefore most reliable 2) Cheap inks 3) Don't want to replace the head 4) Quality and quick printing Any suggestion from printer experts or any users of the printers. Thanks sha...
HP printer vs. Canon printer
I need to replace my Epson Stylus Photo 825 as one of the print nozzles is permanently clogged! I have been looking at both HP and Canon printers, more specifically HP 7550 & Canon Pixma ip6700. Has anyone had any experience with either printer, good or bad? I need a printer that will do everything from print invoices, newsletters to photos. Photos do not have to be gallery quality, but good enough for a newsletter. Also, in comparison, which brand has better prices on ink? Is one brand of ink better than another (assuming I would use the same brand of paper) in relation t...
Epson RX500 vs Canon MP700/730 Multifunction Printers
Any thoughts or experience on these multifunction printers. I am leaning toward the Epson RX500 as it would replace my Epson 820 printer and 1660 scanner. I want the ability to print quality photos and scan negs and slides. I see Canon has a MP700 and MP730, but I don't see the slide/neg scanning capability of the Epson and cannot tell if the Canon is four or six color. Considering the Canon only because many in the group seem to like them. Any input is apreciated. Jerry B ...
Cheapest Running Costs
Hello, I didn't post here for nearly 3 years, but I now need a new printer. I have been using an EPSON Stylus Colour 980, but the Print-Head got knackered after I used some cheap ink cartridges. Anyway I have been without a printer for 3 months, pain so I got a bit of spare cash, was looking in the �50.00-�100-00 price range. It's a little bit confusing now since each manufacturer have so many different models (why?). I do allot of document printing, and occasionally knock out the odd Photo print (just to show off :P) and print allot of CD-Labels. I have a CD-Printin...

Canon ip8500 Pixma Printer / AlBook Running Tiger / Problems
I have a Canon ip8500 Pixma printer connected to a 17" AlBook (most recent version) running Tiger. There are two items of software that come with the printer, a driver, and a photo printing program that allows the printer to exploit all eight color inks. The driver installer hangs about half way through, but it appears that the driver is installed as I can select the printer and print. The photo printing program installs, but hangs upon launch. I've checked the Canon website and there is no mention of any problem with the printer software and Tiger. Has anyone else had this ki...

My Canon Pixma IP3000 printer will no longer feed glossy photo paper.
Hello all. As per subject line. It happened previously a short time ago, and I did what is recommended in the IP4000 manual (pdf., downloaded.): Press "Resume button", allow LED light to flash 3 times, release button, It worked then. When I tried the printer again, after a few weeks, the photo paper would not feed. I re-tried cleaning the paper feed rollers, as above, but that didn't work this time. I've had this printer just before it stopped becoming available in the UK, but I haven't used it very much. Will it help to grease or oil some mechanical parts...
