Need help deciding which of these two printers to buy.
The Canon was delivered yesterday to a friend, on my recomend. I own the
ip6600 and a Epson R300, in print quality I find the Canon takes it, for third party ink I find for the Epson. Both print CDs and both give a first class finish. The canon can be had for a mere £108 from Amazon dam good price. You will find the Epson has to have nozzle checks twice a week, the Canon is months and that's with OEM ink.

From what I've heard the newer Epsons are the new "Claria" type which have a new type of cartridge and chip that are incompatible with any current 3rd party (ie: non Epson) cartridges. As a result you need to factor in the fact that both the Canon and the Epson will require you to use their own cartridges. Canon cartridges are refillable but the jury is still out on how long you can do this.. The Epson Claria is a new beast though and to my knowledge (which is not good on this subject) there's no refilling or alternatives to date. Hope that helps. |

While I prefer Canon printers for many reasons I am not a proponent of aftermarket mickey mouse so if CD printing is important I would go with the Epson if you reside a North America. |

While I prefer Canon printers for many reasons I am not a proponent of aftermarket mickey mouse so if CD printing is important I would go with the Epson if you reside a North America. Remember, however, that these Canon printers ship with direct-to-disk CD & DVD printing throughout Europe - it is only the USA which considers this "innovation" patentable by Epson. From the sounds of things there's very little missing from the US models apart from the tray itself, so I see no reason why most people should consider this to be "Mickey Mouse" (that's a trademark, too, BTW). At one time there were a number of US etailers offering grey-import Piximas to US customers, but I am unable to find with a quick search now - perhaps this is indicative of the success & reliability of these aftermarket trays? Certainly, these trays look IDENTICAL to the one I recieved with the Pixima I bought in the UK. Stroller. |

Except for a minor alteration to the printer, the US Canon printers are already CD tray capable. If that is something you want to do, there are many posts on the technique. Don't listen to our resident troll, Mickey-mousekite. |
