I decided to buy this printer with the full knowledge that it was "first in breed" of a new line of disposable printers. Canon gives these away as promotions with the purchase of a new computer system or they can be bought separate at the sub $50.00 range. My previous printer the Canon I550 finally had the predicted print head problems and although it had worked well for a number of years I decided to chuck it and try the iP1600 instead. Since the iP1600 uses only 2 ink tanks, as opposed to the 4 tanks used by the I550 I knew the ink was going to be an expensive proposition, upwards of $35.00 retail for both tanks. My plan was, and still is, to just purchase additonal complete iP1600 printers for $20.00 or less (minus shipping) and get around the ink problem that way. So far I have purchased 2 of them and thanks to the USB connectivity I can alternate between color tasks and black and white text jobs between the two printers. My wife uses one of them for crafts and color ink required jobs and I use the other machine for strictly text duties. When the first printer's color tank ran down I tried a refill kit sold on Ebay for that specific printer and....to my amazement it worked perfectly. Just know, if you go that route, you will need a electric drill and a small bit to penetrate the thick plastic tank. The kit supplies you with a eyelet screw but the plastic is too tough for such a blunt instrument. All in all we like the printer it is fast, rugged and does a fine job on color prints and text. There is no exit feed tray so you will need to rig something to catch the paper as it exits the printer but if you have a additonal 12 inches of space in front of the printer the paper will stack up nicely on that surface! Enjoy! MikeVollständige Rezension lesen
Printer set up very easy. You will need a USB cord, as it does not come with one. It does not have a front tray to recieve paper or photos, but you only need a little table room to catch them. Quality of photos and print are very good. As I stated, it's great for a low priced unit. I don't know about ink life, or reliability of printer. Canon has a good reputation. It has got to be better than my last 2 Epsons..they were junk, and I wont buy again. The program for printing and photos is complete and easy to use. I understood that I needed to download an update for vista, But after using the supplied disc,everything worked just fine. Go figure... So far very pleased ...Time will tell the rest of the story...
This printer is very simple and prints excellent quality pages. It is small in size and can fit almost anywhere. It has a one year warranty and Canon does honor their warranty, unlike other companies I have dealt with (specifically HP). Ink seems to last quite a bit, and there are now compatibles made so that makes for cheaper printing. This is a workhorse for those in college or needing it for everyday use. It also prints excellent quality photos. All in all, for the price, can't go wrong.
I had had a Canon Pixma IP 1500 which finally died, so when I was buying a new one, I looked at the same line of printers and decided to get the Canon IP 1600. This printer is just a simple home printer that's versatile enough to do normal printing and photos too. I would recommend using genuine Canon ink cartridges, not generic or refilled cartridges. This printer is not especially fast. The cartridges are bigger than the ones on the prior model I had, so hoping they last a lot longer. I paid $30 for a set of genuine Canon cartridges (b&w and color)on Ebay, but think they cost more like $60 in the office supply stores. The cost of ink is an important consideration in purchasing one of these printers. Just one set of cartridges cost as much or more than the printer itself.
I wanted a printer mainly for photos. I read that the Pixma was exceptionally good for this purpose and it seems that this is true. I keep it loaded with photo paper and my regular printer with plain paper. Print quality is very good for photos and the speed is good. Only negative feature I have found is it sometimes does not load paper well and requires a little hand feeding to get the paper started.
