Note: The Canon i560 is no longer being manufactured. You may want to consider purchasing the newer Canon Pixma iP3000 instead. The Canon i560 Desktop Photo Printer delivers fast, professional-level performance for the home--or home office. Canon's specially developed software package includes Easy PhotoPrint and Easy WebPrint programs designed to take home printing to a higher level. Operating as a toolbar in Microsoft IE, Webprint automatically smoothes and aligned pages, resulting in both text and background images reproducing cleanly. PhotoPrint boosts color saturation while keep tones realistic and accurate; the results are grain-free textures and exceptionally vivid colors.
If you're looking for a printer to use with your digital camera, you'll be glad to see the i560 is PictBridge compatible. This allows you to connect any PictBridge camera or camcorder directly to the convenient front-panel port and product instant prints. A borderless 4-by-6-inch image is produced in less than a minute, while enlargements up to 8.5 by 11 inches are available with the touch of a single button.
Your letters and text documents will also look their best, thanks to rich pigment-based inks that produce a sharp black color. The i560 features a symmetrical print head design with 1,600 nozzles that virtually eliminates color variance and banding problems frequently found with other high-speed, bidirectional printers. Speeds up to 22 pages per minute make this printer perfectly at home for small businesses or busy families.
The i560 printer features the economical Canon Think Tank System, combining four individual ink tanks with intelligent management practices that equal more efficient ink usage and lower printing costs. Four tanks are included with the printer; you'll need to provide the power cables yourself. Canon supplies a one-year warranty with Instant Exchange service.
I bought this printer back in October of 2003. So far, this Canon has proven itself to be very fast, reliable, and economical. There is an option to use "draft" mode for the purpose of conserving ink. This is a great feature to have if you print a lot of text, like I do. The black ink cartridge is also relatively inexpensive. I bought this particular printer because I print a lot of text. My main criteria was keeping the cost per page as low as possible. I rarely print photos, but the few that I have printed on Canon's paper looked very nice.
