Canon Pixma iP6700D @ canon estore
Some people have been asking about this model.
http://estore.usa.canon.com/webapp/w...category=12054 As a referb it's presently onsale for $40 plus shipping. The reason to be interested is not only the relativly low price, but the fact that canon seems to be abandoning a 6 tank inkjet, and in fact the Pixma MX970 IIRC doesn't use light cyan / magenta. I'm pretty pleased with mine, so I'm not going to bother, but the price is right and it does offer an edge over the 5 tank models. |

Too bad it's on back order. It's an inexpensive way to get a set of
ink refills.

It's not that inexpensive way to get a refill when you take shipping into account. I didn't look up the shipping charge but I wouldn't expect it to be much more than $20. Though $10 each wouldn't be bad at all with a spare printer to boot. I guess those cli-8 tanks do cost more than $10 each in stores, like $14 each. Presuming $14 each for tanks, the $100 mp960 isn't a bad deal, though shipping would make it more than the cartridges, but not by much. |

According to tests at PC Mag and PC World the 5 tank produces as good if not better prints most of the time over the 6 tank model at a lower cost. In certain cases where the nuance of certain shades appear in the photo the 6 tank model will produce those shades better than the 5 tank model but that is not the case for 90% of the photos. |

Near as I'm aware, the ip6700 unlike the 5 tank models offers uniform dot coverage (512x6), as in the black and yellow have small and large drops. This is something you tend to notice on smellable polymer paper, which has tested as being far more archival than Canon's premium papers. I'll buy the lower cost. That's totally reasonable. Better in 90% of the photos, i'd need to see a link to back up that assertion. Either way, this model is being abandoned, and in fact the newest 'photo' all in one isn't going to use light cyan/magenta, but rather a light black. |

In case anyone else is interested, the MP960 is still $100 + shipping
Shipping to my area is $10 $20 fedex 2nd day air $30 next day air There also is tax. So $120-$130 isn't a great deal if you just need the cartridges, as those are $100 for the 7 tanks in a local office store. It's not a great deal for cartridges and a spare head since the ip7500 wasn't offered outside of Japan. But it's still a good deal. |
