Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description Note: The Canon i900D is no longer being manufactured. You may want to consider purchasing the newer Canon Pixma iP8500 instead.

Producing high-speed, pro-quality, true borderless photos up to 8.5 by 11 inches, the Canon i900D connects either to your PC or directly to any Bubble Jet Direct or PictBridge digital camera. It combines outstanding quality with efficient management of consumables for an impressive alternative to professional photo labs. Its six individual ink tanks allow you to only replace the specific colors that are empty--especially important when printing, say, a stack of vacation photos that are all blue sky and ocean.

Individual ink tanks save money, reduce waste.

Able to print photo sizes ranging from 4 by 6 to 8.5 by 11 inches, the included 4-by-6-inch paper tray allows you to have two papers loaded simultaneously for absolute ease of use. Your 4-by-6-inch photos will print in approximately 75 seconds, and 8-by-10s print in about 3 minutes (fast mode).

This printer can connect directly to select digital cameras. Learn more about PictBridge.

Canon's microscopic two-picoliter ink droplets and smooth 4,800 x 1,200 dpi give your images a clean, clearly detailed look. Best of all, it's up to you whether you print via your computer system or directly from your Bubble Jet Direct or PictBridge compatible camera or camcorder. Canon includes a one-year warranty with Instant Exchange service.

5.0 out of 5 stars Greatest Printer Yet, January 22, 2004

This review is from: Canon i900D Photo Printer (Office Product)

I just upgraded from an HP 970 Cxi and couldn't be happier. My i900D makes top quality prints on Canon Glossy Photo Pro and Ilford Classic Glossy papers - better than the digital film processors I used. And, its ink is much cheaper than the HP's. And, it has a built in card reader that can be used by the PC and to print picures. And, it includes an LCD for printer status and picture preview (so so quality for picures). And it integrates very well with the great bundled software. And it includes a dedicated 4x6 feeder. And there was a...rebate when I bought it with my Canon S400.

The fact that it is slower than the i960 is actually a benefit. The i960's high speed causes some ink pooling on glossy papers like Ilford Classic Glossy - the i900D actually winds up with betters pics because its slower speed prevents pooling (based on what I have seen.)

Overall I've found excellent quality and all the features I could have wanted in a printer at a great price.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent printer... ink is a pain though..., August 19, 2004

The Canon i900D is an outstanding photo printer. I purchased this printer some months ago after comparing printers for awhile.

This printer shares a shell with the i8xx and i9xx series of printers. The features vary, but this printer has the ability to do both direct printing from your digital camera and memory cards as well as from your computer. The setup and software are super easy to install and use and you'll be up and printing your first pictures in minutes.

And the prints! Photos printed on this printer are outstandingly crisp, with beautiful color. Quality photo paper produces prints that are indistinguishable from "real" photos. Printing is fast and the provided software lets you organize prints on any size paper easily and efficiently. Way to go Canon!

There are some downsides to this printer. The add-on drawer for photo-sized paper (like 5x7) is very cheesy and gets stuck easily. It doesn't work all that well for me either, although I rarely use it. And then there is ink...

This printer uses six tiny separate cartridges. No store locally stocks all six, so stock up on cartridges. The Canon cartridges are expensive (eleven bucks each...a bit cheaper on Amazon) and run out at different rates. The software will warn you when a tank is running low. On my printer this happens just before it runs out altogether. So keep the cartridges handy. (One nice touch with the ink tanks is that they are clear so you can actually see the ink level: no more wasted ink because the printer thinks the cartridge might be empty!!)

Otherwise, I'm very happy with this printer and recommend it highly.

I haven't even connected this to a PC yet, so I can't comment on the included software. I just take my compact flash card, insert it in the printer, and print away (other media supported as well - see specs). The images are top-quality, and it's easy to choose/crop the images you want to print from the LCD screen on the printer. The fact that I don't have to replace a multi-color cartridge when only one of the colors is gone will keep me from putting out so much $$$ too, which is good.
