Canon i960 vs. Canon i860
I will be purchasing a printer soon and have read enough to know that
the i960 takes 6 cartridges at about $199 and the i860 takes 5 (2 blk) at about $149. Now I would like to here from the printer owners out there about the quality of each printer. Pros and Cons I do print some photos and Im concerned with the i860 and the photo quality. Do you notice any dots in the print outs only having 4 colors. Thanks, Myra |

Hi Myra,
Can't help you out with the i860, but I just purchased the i960. The photos I print are incredible. No dots at all. Might have something to do with the 3,072 individual print nozzles, the fact each drop if ink is measured at 2 picoliters (2 billionths of a liter) and I read someplace that it lays down something like 72 million drops of ink per 1 inch of image. But all the technical stuff aside, the prints I've made so far using Canon Photo Paper Plus have all come out photo lab quality. Heres a link that offers great reviews on all sorts of printers. Maybe this will help you decided: http://www.steves-digicams.com/printers.html Hope this helps.... "Myra" wrote in message ...

I have an S900 (predecessor to I950), which I'm very happy with, and a
friend has an I850. While I haven't compared prints side by side, his prints look very good. If I were buying a printer I would probably go with the I950 because photo quality is my main concern, and there would be some difference, or so I assume. However, since you are going to do "some" photos, from what I have seen, the I850 would make you happy. I don't know if this helps or not. Jasper "Myra" wrote in message ...
