I've got a relatively recent Canon MP500 and I love it. Text, photos, and scans all are excellent. I've used the autoduplexer and it's great also. I seriously can't rave enough abo…

I've worked in the graphic design industry for 9 years. Yes, Epson at one point was the standard because WHEN THEY WORKED they gave the best results. The problem is they always c…

Canon for cheap cartridges - HP for reliability and multifunction devices.

Well, I think that Canon and HP both have high reliability. Epson does, too, aside from the print head clogging. Almost all HP models (and a few Canon models, plus all the Lexmarks…

Again, I have said ink costs. The Tom's photo tests INCLUDED the cost of the printer maker's paper, and I have said already that Canon paper is very costly. But their ink is substa…

They haven't improved? I thought people had reported that the drivers for their recent models was OK. took

Ditto with Canon, I have never been happier. I have the i70. My Epsons in the past just keep crapping out. I bought a new Epson 2 years ago with LCD screen and supposedly one of t…

I'm a happy owner of a 2-month old Canon MP760 all-in-one printer. The scan quality is great, no complaints. It can scan old photo film as well, although I haven't tried this fea…

Gee.. I guess I'm one of the few who use HP Inkjet which I love.. I've used Cannon too but I like the way that HP feed paper the best. Good consistent results with HP from my pe…

Most current Canon models have two paper feeds, one top-loading (like Epson uses) and one front-loading (like HP uses). You can use either, or both. tooki

I bought a HP PSC 1510 and am very happy with it. It "replaces" my HP PSC 1210. I also have a Canon iPIXMA 5000 for other stuff.
