canon pixma ip6700d: has anyone bought this?
73344
I finally posted my review. I did see the reviews for the iP5200. The most important factor to me between these two concerned the inks - the iP5200 with two blacks, cyan, magenta, and yellow compared to the iP6700 with black, cyan, magenta, light cyan, light magenta, and yellow). That gives me the impression that the iP5200 is intended for general home network printing and the iP6700 is more geared towards workstation-serious photo printing. The only way to tell for sure, though, is to test these two printers side by side.

I understand there is one on the Kodak website. The reviews I read cited the lack of a user manual as one of the negatives. I'll have to check out the "custom" mode.

join the crowd.. My printer was delivered with a bad Wifi chip. I was told where to take it to be repaired by the Canon people. Low and behold that wasn't the only problem. They said it had another broken chip and for me to return the printer. I never got to print one single paper. The whole process took over two months. Needless to say I will never buy a Canon product. Sorry you are having a problem too............

Hi Judy. I have used the Canon pixma ip3000 on several Macs. One was a G3 iBook. One was a G4 Emac. Currently I use it with my new imac intel duocore. NEVER had a problem. I did have some problems matching up color in Photoshop but that is all. With my new iMac, I didn't even have to install the software!!! I just plugged the printer into my apple wireless thingie (sorry forget name of it) and my computer recognized it! It doesn't give me detailed ink info, etc, though but I know it will once I install the software. BTW, I am one OS below Leopard, Tiger I think. Good luck!

James,I am trying to decide between the canon 830 AiO and the epson artisian 800. If you look at the negative comments both printers receive high marks for being ink pigs!have you tried more pages with the epson? is it still using as much ink? I wish thw=ere was some way to tell which printer is worse.

I agree with the two previous people who posted comments about the Canon MP610 printer. It has been working flawlessly since Feb. 2008 after I purchased a new iMac running OSX 10.5.2 (Leopard). I am also using a USB cable. Last week I finally had to replace two of the color ink tanks. Either Canon has more ink in their tanks or it uses less ink than my previous EPSON printers. And I'm not using my printer any less than before. I also like having individual tanks for each color, CMYK plus pigment black for text only documents. Naturally, I ordered new ink tanks from Amazon because of "best price" and free delivery. I agree with the two previous people who posted comments about the Canon MP610 printer.

I certainly believe it is. The quality for photos is excellent, but then I also have an Epson Artisan 710 printer. The last one I purchased was not on Amazon because they no longer carried it at the time. My last purchase was through Staples. The packaging looks correct, however.

I finally bit the bullet & purchased the Canon Pixma Pro 9500. It's a little spendy, but if your budget allows it's a good choice. Myself I invested in a New Desktop & display, because all I've been using is a 15 inch Macbook Pro, & I wanted to actually do justice to the amazing images I get with the 50D.

I'm sorry, but I'm still using the ink cartridges that came with the printer. That said, my experience with refilling cartridges for a Pixma mp500 was way more trouble than it was worth. Canon makes it too difficult to out smart it. You are better off buying equivalent cartridges from amazon at a discount that are ready to go.

I just bought the pro-100 so I haven't used it a lot. I still can tell you a few things. It is large and heavy, not portable at all, but it can print very large pictures etc. The print quality is very good to excellent. I also have a Canon IP6700D that uses the same style ink cartrige and they are easy to refill. I have refilled these many times over several years with no problems. I can add ink without taking them out of the printer. This saves a lot of time and money. Refill kits are easy to fine on line. If the pro 100 lasts as long as the 6700D I will be very happy with it. With the rebate, I think it is a good buy. Hope this helps. I just bought the pro-100 so I haven't used it a lot. I still can tell you a few things.

have you tried a new printhead? you can get them on amazon or ebay for about $18. got one recently for my printer and it prints like new. if you're thinking about a new printer though - go for it. this kodak is a pain in the ass.

Well being in the same boat as you. I have found out a couple of things about each of the printers. I own an older Epson, so most of the problems I have had have been Ink (drying/clogging) issues. So from the reviews that is still a problem with newer Epson, however If you print more than one picture a month it is probably not a problem. The Canon (again reading the reviews) seems to be very good, but has some quality issues (may break within a couple of weeks). That being said, I would still go with the Canon, only I would buy it from Best Buy with their electronics agreement (repair or replace with new). The Canon and Epson warranties will also repair or replace with a refurbished unit. My 2 pennies. Of course the Best Buy thing would work for the Epson as well.

Have you bought the printer? I, too, am thinking of buying this printer and I also LOVE using Picassa. I always edit my pictures on Picassa before printing them. Just curious to see how this is working for you.

I am not sure what the problem is, but I can tell you that I had two of these printers and they gave me a lot of trouble before completely breaking....both in less than 6 months. I would just save yourself the trouble and buy a canon pixma. The printer is cheap and works amazing....not to mention that it prints on both sides of the paper on its own which saves me during school. I will never buy a Kodak again. If you are stuck with this printer double check on your end and make sure it is the printer defect. Try a print preview before printing to see if it shows the whole article. If this does not help try reinstalling the Kodak software. Good luck

Hey, I don't know where you live, but I just bought mine in black on 9/10 here in NYC. By the way, I've been waiting for Amazon to have this camera too. I pre-ordered both of them (black and silver), and never received an email saying that they were finally available to purchase. So, I took things into my own hands and found it myself. The camera is the BEST camera I've ever tried! I recently bought the fx500 from panasonic and the fujifilm f100. And before those two, I was a canon powershot sd500 owner. I can go into more detail, but I thought you would like to know of something I wrote on the forum page for the LX3 on photographyblog.com: Hey y'all, Sorry it has taken me a long while to respond to this little discussion, but just yesterday 9/10/08, I FINALLY bought the LX3 in black here in NYC at a family run Jewish store called 17thstreetphoto in the Photography district in NYC. I spoke with a super friendly man named Doug who told me that they got the silver and black ones 2 days ago from yesterday. they have 50 each. So, I went down there and immediately bought one. They have a 7 days no questions asked return policy so I'm trying it out like a crazy man. I attached the website. Keep in mind that if you mention the fact that on EBAY they have the price listed at $475, they will honor it in the store even though they have it priced at $499. Any questions ask me. But the purchasing experience with them was excellent.
