Final Choice - i860 or i960
After mulling over all the sound advice received from group, I have to
decide on either the i860 or i960. I like higher resolution - relevant? A 4x6 separate photo paper tray. I'm willing to pay a bit extra for something which will not be obsolete in no time. So, the final question, is i960 worth the price? Rich |

*richmac*,
I would go for the i860. Better text and can hardly tell the difference in the photos. As far as going obsolete in a short time, that's going to happen no matter which printer you purchase. Good luck. Don Davis "*richmac*" wrote in message news:Xgvyb.530947$6C4.174243@pd7tw1no... After mulling over all the sound advice received from group, I have to decide on either the i860 or i960.

The Canon i860 is better bet as it still uses 5 carts! and mine is so good
on photo's that's using Canon's own Photo Paper plus glossy and the Pro the result's are just stunning. "Don Davis" wrote in message ... *richmac*, I would go for the i860.

Oh, good. I'll go for the i860, which is in fact more widely available where
I live. Thanks. Richard "*richmac*" ¦b¶l¥ó news:Xgvyb.530947$6C4.174243@pd7tw1no ¤¤¼¶¼g... After mulling over all the sound advice received from group, I have to decide on either the i860 or i960.

Sometimes (on some paper qualities) ink-jets print better at lower resolution. Generally the ink-jets depend on the "system quality" as a total. # non clogging ink and nozzles # good, clear drivers and settings # settings compatible to used paper /media qualities # drop size!!! (small is beautiful) # perfect paper feeding to avoid gaps and lines # graphic ink systems (but only if all above is perfect) ....there is no quick fix to make the super perfect ink-jet at a budget! In a deep review the crew found that the Epson c62 (cheap printer) produced higher picture quality compared to c82, it's bigger brother. Probably the problem depended on flaws in the c82 driver. At the data sheet the c82 should have been better in all aspects. Morgan O. |

What kind of patent restricts such a great device. DOES anyone know if (perhaps I 'imported' it?) the CD print aspect could be integrated to an i860? Thanks. -- Rich "Doc" Colley mailto: |
