From the Manufacturer For the advanced photographer who wants exceptional quality, versatility, and control, the six-color Canon Pixma iP6000D Photo Printer is a powerful new tool. Take advantage of the Easy-Photoprint software to eliminate the frustrations of photo printing while empowering you to fix, sharpen, and enhance your photos. Using the large built-in 2.5-inch LCD and control panel, you can actually visualize the print process and fine-tune your images for better results, with or without a computer.
Easy-PhotoPrint v3.0 While most photo-editing software applications will brighten the entire image, Easy-PhotoPrint 3.0 accurately detects the subject's face and adjusts the skin to the optimum tone. Brighten dark faces caused by bright backgrounds. Choose from one-click automatic to correct the entire image all at once, or manual to correct just a selected area.

Easy-PhotoPrint 3.0 also lets you select and print any image on your PC, perfectly trim images, correct images using lab-quality retouching features, correct red-eye, smooth facial lines and skin tone, sharpen faces, remove blemishes, and print in a variety of sizes and layouts.
The printer's versatility is matched by its superior quality, achieving a resolution of up to 4,800 x 1,200 color dpi. Canon Full-photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering (FINE) uses a high-performance 1,536-nozzle print head that ejects consistent, prescribed-volume droplets as small as 2 picoliters. The results are fast prints and breathtaking detail on all your photos--including borderless prints up to 8.5 by 11 inches. Imagine a 4-by-6-inch borderless print that looks like a photo from the photo lab, in just seconds. With the convenience of a dual paper path system, you can keep photo paper in one tray and plain paper in the other, so you're always ready to print photos or documents--no paper switching required.
Insert a memory card into the built-in card slots and you can preview, edit, and select images for printing with the LCD display and control panel. Images can be sized and then optimized for brightness, color tones, and color balance. Or, simply connect any PictBridge-compatible digital camera or DV camcorder, and print. You can even print wirelessly with a compatible infrared cell phone or PDA.

I had an Epson 785EPX photo printer and when it worked, the prints were beautiful. However, my printer heads were constantly clogging and I wasted tons of ink cleaning the heads all the time. The ink is not cheap. So, I started researching for a new photo printer. I chose the Canon line because they have a reputation for cheaper ink. I found this to be true when I purchased the Canon i250 to replace another Epson ink hog (the 640) for my general printing. (I keep one printer for general printing, one for photos) The Canon ink cartridges ARE cheaper and last longer. After reading reviews on photo printers I decided between the Canon ip4000 and the ip6000d. The ip4000 got amazing reviews both from consumers and magazines. There weren't a lot of reviews on the ip6000d I suppose because it's newer. I decided to risk buying the ip6000d anyways because I really wanted the media input slot for convenience. I'm here to say the photos are AMAZING and of photo lab quality. I tested using the included Canon Photo Paper Pro and also my leftover Epson Premium Photo Glossy Paper. Both papers produced the same results. The printer unpacked and installed easily. For printing without the computer, the menu/LCD screen on the printer is intuitive and easy to use. For printing through the computer, the software program 'Easy Photo-Print' stands by it's name. A couple of mouse clicks and the perfect print came out. If it matters, my digital camera is a Kodak DX6490. There are two things to watch for while setting up your ip6000d for the first time. Both have to do with loading paper into the cassette tray. Make sure you load the paper PRINT SIDE DOWN and watch out for the little plastic thingy that holds the paper in place. Mine broke off and the spring flew off who knows where. It still works but just moves around easily. Since I just got the printer today I can't comment on long term use or ink usage for sure. I've printed about 10 4X6's so far and 3 of the 6 tanks show a very slim line for usage.
