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 to water /light resistance and longevity? Any feedback would be appreciated, even if it is just general comparison of brands rather than specific models. Thank you!

Canon, IMHO, is an easy winner. HP drivers are getting really poor, and support for them is also poor. You can see for yourself what the inks costs are, ink usage will depend on your use of the printer. Al inkjet prints will fade over time, it's just a matter of how soon. Keeping them under glass/plastic eliminated that issue. <hdauerphoto@earthlink.net> wrote in message news:1172680252.458964.44950@s48g2000cws.googlegroups.com... > I need to replace my Epson Stylus Photo 825 as one of the print > nozzles is permanently clogged!

Has > anyone had any experience with either printer, good or bad? > First Canon will produce better results than HP and comes with Full Sized carts and is faster. As for Canon the IP4300 will produce as good a results or better than the IP6700 and costs less. It can be had for about $80.00 on sale. The fade resistance is better since is does not use the light load colors. The ability to edit and print without using a computer is no advantage at all in achieving quality photos. > I need a printer that will do everything from print invoices, > newsletters to photos.

It can also duplex and has twin paper trays and better paper handling than the HP. > Also, in comparison, which brand has better prices on ink? Canon not only has better prices for ink but the ink goes farther. > Is one > brand of ink better than another (assuming I would use the same brand > of paper) in relation to water /light resistance and longevity? > I would say that they are about equal in most circumstances. I know that, with Canon, you have a very wide choice of paper. I happen to use Hammermill Premium InkJet and get fine results. For photos I use Canon Photo Paper Pro Glossy, Epson Premium Glossy, Epson Heavyweight Matte, Ilford Classic Pearl and could also use Ilford Smooth Pearl. The Classic is more resistance to gas fading than Smooth with dye ink but takes much longer to dry. The classic is a swellable polymer paper that captures and seals the ink. I also have an HP printer (I have had that first) and it is very good. I use that mainly for printing computer code in draft and web pages. HP has a better draft than Canon but Canon uses less ink. If I had to choose between them it would be Canon. Due to better paper handling Canon is able to do more jobs like printing envelopes and invitations and odd sized stuff than HP. Hope this helps. And always use factory ink so you do not get head clogs and lower quality results along with faded results. > Any feedback would be appreciated, even if it is just general > comparison of brands rather than specific models. > Thank you! > >

Canon i860 Photo Printer compared to Canon MP360 Printer/Scanner/Copier
I'm trying to decide between a Canon i860 and a Canon MP360. The MP360 is a printer/scanner/copier while the i860 is a Photo Printer. I've compared the two units closely and can't see many differences, except the i850 uses 4 cartridges instead of the usual 2 and is a bit faster. They both can print borderless photos, can print on photo paper, and print 4800x1200 dpi. Plus they are about the same price on newegg.com. Are there any features that the i860 has that the MP360 doesn't? Otherwise why not get the MP360 and get a scanner too. any info would be appreciated...
