Thanks Heidy (1) Canon Pixma IP 4200 This is discontinued. The current model is the Canon IP4300. It uses the same ink but is much faster. The best choice for a standard format dye based printer. The best choice for a wide format dye based printer is the Canin Pro 9000. (2) Canon Pixma IP6700D Not a really great choice. Not quite as good and the IP4300 in most cases and slower. The video screen is a gimmick for serious photogs. (3) Epson Stylus Photo R380 Not a great choice for a pigmented printnter since the wide format R1800 is a few bucks more. Is not a vivid on glossy, matte or pearl papers but may have better longevity. Does a better job on some fine art papers and lasts longer than dye based ink. (4) Canon Pixma IP8500 A great discontinued printer.

These are very bad choices. You get what you pay for. Notice they are all Epsons. Epson printer usually have poorer mileage on ink. In any even they did not list the R380 which is much better than any of these. Here is some more of what they are suggesting (15) Epson Stylus D78 (16) Epson Stylus DX 4000 (17) Epson Stylus DX 6000 (18) Epson DX 4000 (19) Epson DX 5000 (20) Epson 6000 (21)Epson 7000 (22) Epson Stylus Photo RX 560 Heidy |

Just the fact that you mentioned compatibles will have him spinning in someone else's grave. -- Paul (Please dont take a picture) Heidy - What Paul is very kindly saying is that Measekite, with one ip4000 inkjet to his name, has, for the last three years that I've been participating on this newsgroup taken it upon himself to be the sworn enemy of any and all users, vendors, and positive posters regarding aftermarket cartridges and inks. He has no experience with these materials and has hijacked this newsgroup over this one issue. Nearly all the dubious advice he has offered you has been from his reading of other peoples' reviews and not his own experience. You asked, in your original post, about printing pictures from the internet. Most of these images are from reduced size files - they have been reduced to speed up transmission, and they do not have to be large files with lots of included detail as the resolution of the monitors is limited. In other words, since there is a finite limit as to how much resolution a monitor can show, there is no need for the large image files you would use for excellent quality prints. You don't need an exotic printer for that kind of use. Your list of printers from which to choose is far too extensive. You need to focus on your needs. If you want a printer that can print up to 8.5xll, you don't need to include wide format printers. If your printing needs are simple - a few letters, web page printouts, and photos, a good general purpose inkjet will do. Measekite is correct that the ip4300 would be a good printer for general use and very decent photo printing. It does, however, use the new chipped Canon cartridges for which there are no easy-to-use compatable carts available. (you can expect his immediate negative response to this statement due to his fanatical aversion to all aftermarket products). These carts can be refilled successfully, but you then have to check the ink levels as Canon disables their ink monitor when you refill the carts. You may also lose your warranty. Someone had responded to you with a suggestion to find a new ip6000 online. This six color cart photo printer is very good, is from the previous generation of Canons, and it does use the bci-6 carts that are widely available aftermarket. The quality of some of these aftermarket carts is very poor, however, and you must get the advice of someone who has good experience with a specific brand and vendor. For best reliability and uniform ink quality, however, you are best off to refill carts with good quality aftermarket bulk inks from one of the vendors that have been suggested by actual users on this NG. (again, MK will follow this post with his usual biased diatribe). I use Canon i960 and Canon ip5000 printers and refill my carts with MIS inks. This combination of printers and inks produces prints that are every bit as beautiful as with OEM Canon inks, and the prints have been very stable so far for the three years I've used these printers. There are reasonably priced good Epson printers that have a ready supply of aftermarket carts, good refill inks, and chip resetters. There are participants on this NG who use them and can give you advice. I don't remember her name, but one person who participates on this NG has reported using several Epsons with aftermarket inks in a school. Hopefully, she will see this thread and respond to you. From what I recall, she uses pigment-ink based printers, but she has substituted dye-based inks and this has cured the clogging problems. I don't know anything about HP inkjet printers. I do know that many of them use carts with the printhead built in. From what I've read, patents prevent the manufacture of aftermarket carts, so the prefilled aftermarket carts you can buy are actually original HP carts that have been refilled. For home refilling, many HP carts can be successfully refilled, but they do have chips in them that signal to the printer that they have been enmptied. Once refilled, you have to play some tricks on the printer to recognize them. Measekite, our very own persistant, biased, misinforming troll, has given you all the second hand advice of which he is capable. Don't waste your time responding to him. Most of us have him killfiled and only see his posts when included in a response such as yours. |

This poster belongs to a group that promotes generic ink that is not up to par. I stand by what I said. I have been recommending PC equipment for over 4000 customers. I do not do that currently and have nothing to gain or loose if you buy one or the other. I just do not like seeing people get taken by others who may have something to gain.

I have read about one horror story after another over a long period of time in this ng.
