Product Description
The Canon PIXMA iP1600 Photo Printer is versatile and simple to use. Its new slanted design will look great on your desk. And you'll be amazed at the high-quality photos and documents you can print.What's the key to its impressive performance? Canon Full-photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering (FINE) uses an innovative print head with 1,472 nozzles that eject consistent, precise ink droplets as small as 2 picoliters. It's simple: more nozzles with higher accuracy equal amazing results - and Canon has got it down to a science. This patented technology produces an outstanding color resolution of up to 4800 x 1200 color dpi, for exceptional detail and photo-realism.To further enhance printing quality, the PIXMA iP1600 Photo Printer uses high-intensity ChromaLife100 color inks for vivid photos and graphics. Plus, its special pigment black ink delivers laser-like text - along with a higher resistance to smudging when you're handling or highlighting a printed document. And what about speed? This no-compromise printer is especially fast, capable of producing a 4" x 6" photo lab quality borderless photo in approximately 70 seconds.

Customer Reviews
affordable photos and other printing needs
My reason for buying this was simple. I'd tried bargain inks for my old HP printer and they messed it up. I decided if I could get a new printer for cheaper than two brand-name HP ink cartridges, I would do it, and upgrade my home printing operation altogether.
This Canon is a budget model that sacrifices a few features: there's no serial port, no photo monitor or way to connect your camera without a computer. There's also no paper tray. The paper stacks up in the back and shoots out the front, upside down, onto the table or desk itself.
That said, the paper feed slot is adaptable to legal-size paper and smaller, and even (it swears) to t-shirt thickness surfaces. The pages shoot out fairly quickly, and the ink wells are easily accessible for refill. Initial ink sets are included with the box, in both color and B&W.
I was able to carry this item home by hand with the handles on the box, and had it up and running (with the inclosed install disk) in no time at all. My text pages are legible again, and the photos (if you use the right paper) look as good as having them printed at a shop. While not the cheapest Canon inks, the 40 and 41 cartridges are cheaper than HP's comparable items.
I also really appreciate the computer toolbox for the printer; it has clear features that let you know when ink is low, and how to adjust the controls for differing projects, head cleaning, ink alignment, etc. For $49, this was a very good bargain.
Prints as fast as it goes through ink
This is a speedy little printer. I could prints sheets of wallet size photos in minutes verses hours with old HP. This printer is so new to the market that ink refills are only available online (9/05). This is bad because this printer also eats ink. The color cartridge lasted about 128 (2x3) photos (30 pages of 8 photos each) In 3 weeks, I've used 4 cartridges at $20@. Best to look at the more efficient Canon printers.
The Little Printer That Could
This is NOT a fancy printer.
There's no tray for catching paper at the front.
There's no card slots, no camera-to-USB interface, no cute l'il monitor, no fancy wheels, no on-screen menu.
No whistles, no bells.
What it is is the guts of evey other Canon Pixma in a pared-down chassis.
That means amazing color printing, absolutely GORGEOUS.
It means software that'll walk you through duplex (two-sided) printing.
That means easy installation.
You get prints as good as a more expensive Pixma printer, but for about $50.
If you want great color and great printing at a bare-bones price, this is an awesome little printer.
