MattLinden Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 OK, here's a totally non-climbing and non-political topic for the Spray. I'm ready to buy myself a Christmas present of a printer for my digital photos. I probably won't actually buy until January, after my holiday backpacking trip to Hawaii. Anybody have some good tips? I'm looking for general info like must have features, things to avoid, etc. Specific model recommendations are useful too; with explanations why you like them. Thanks.

Winter Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 I've got the Canon i960. I like it a lot. Its got 6 separate color cartridges, which helps on $$ of printing. It also interfaces VERY easily and produces excellent quality prints for a reasonable price. They may have moved on to the next generation, not sure, but I like mine a lot. Â Now the scanner is a totally different story. I've got a Canon scanner, and every time I try to scan a slide, it completely screws up the color scheme. Anyone have any success fixing this?

tivoli_mike Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 Hmm, looking at the Canon site for printers: Â http://consumer.usa.canon.com/ir/controller?act=ProductCatIndexAct&fcategoryid=103 Â I don't see the 960, which one is it similar to? I am looking a printer as well for my new camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cj001f Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 I've printed very nice pictures from the HP multifunciton units like the 2410 (scanner, printer) or the 2510 (scanner, printer + WiFi print server) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbw1966 Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 Second recommendation for the i960. I have only had it for a little while but its superb! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b-rock Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 Use the color laser printer at work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winter Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 I think the 9900 is the latest incarnation of the 960. Now they have 8 cartridges. If you wait six months, they'll probably have 12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattLinden Posted December 17, 2004 Author Share Posted December 17, 2004 LOL. That's what I have been considering, and I'm sure I'll do once or twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
