Product Description

From the Manufacturer

From the Manufacturer For the advanced photographer who wants exceptional quality, versatility, and control, the six-color Canon Pixma iP6000D Photo Printer is a powerful new tool. Take advantage of the Easy-Photoprint software to eliminate the frustrations of photo printing while empowering you to fix, sharpen, and enhance your photos. Using the large built-in 2.5-inch LCD and control panel, you can actually visualize the print process and fine-tune your images for better results, with or without a computer.

Easy-PhotoPrint v3.0
While most photo-editing software applications will brighten the entire image, Easy-PhotoPrint 3.0 accurately detects the subject's face and adjusts the skin to the optimum tone. Brighten dark faces caused by bright backgrounds. Choose from one-click automatic to correct the entire image all at once, or manual to correct just a selected area.

After

Easy-PhotoPrint 3.0 also lets you select and print any image on your PC, perfectly trim images, correct images using lab-quality retouching features, correct red-eye, smooth facial lines and skin tone, sharpen faces, remove blemishes, and print in a variety of sizes and layouts.

The printer's versatility is matched by its superior quality, achieving a resolution of up to 4,800 x 1,200 color dpi. Canon Full-photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering (FINE) uses a high-performance 1,536-nozzle print head that ejects consistent, prescribed-volume droplets as small as 2 picoliters. The results are fast prints and breathtaking detail on all your photos--including borderless prints up to 8.5 by 11 inches. Imagine a 4-by-6-inch borderless print that looks like a photo from the photo lab, in just seconds. With the convenience of a dual paper path system, you can keep photo paper in one tray and plain paper in the other, so you're always ready to print photos or documents--no paper switching required.

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

Insert a memory card into the built-in card slots and you can preview, edit, and select images for printing with the LCD display and control panel. Images can be sized and then optimized for brightness, color tones, and color balance. Or, simply connect any PictBridge-compatible digital camera or DV camcorder, and print. You can even print wirelessly with a compatible infrared cell phone or PDA.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well worth the money, November 13, 2004

This review is from: Canon PIXMA iP6000D Photo Printer (Office Product)

I had an Epson 785EPX photo printer and when it worked, the prints were beautiful. However, my printer heads were constantly clogging and I wasted tons of ink cleaning the heads all the time. The ink is not cheap. So, I started researching for a new photo printer. I chose the Canon line because they have a reputation for cheaper ink. I found this to be true when I purchased the Canon i250 to replace another Epson ink hog (the 640) for my general printing. (I keep one printer for general printing, one for photos) The Canon ink cartridges ARE cheaper and last longer. After reading reviews on photo printers I decided between the Canon ip4000 and the ip6000d. The ip4000 got amazing reviews both from consumers and magazines. There weren't a lot of reviews on the ip6000d I suppose because it's newer. I decided to risk buying the ip6000d anyways because I really wanted the media input slot for convenience. I'm here to say the photos are AMAZING and of photo lab quality. I tested using the included Canon Photo Paper Pro and also my leftover Epson Premium Photo Glossy Paper. Both papers produced the same results. The printer unpacked and installed easily. For printing without the computer, the menu/LCD screen on the printer is intuitive and easy to use. For printing through the computer, the software program 'Easy Photo-Print' stands by it's name. A couple of mouse clicks and the perfect print came out. If it matters, my digital camera is a Kodak DX6490. There are two things to watch for while setting up your ip6000d for the first time. Both have to do with loading paper into the cassette tray. Make sure you load the paper PRINT SIDE DOWN and watch out for the little plastic thingy that holds the paper in place. Mine broke off and the spring flew off who knows where. It still works but just moves around easily. Since I just got the printer today I can't comment on long term use or ink usage for sure. I've printed about 10 4X6's so far and 3 of the 6 tanks show a very slim line for usage.

This review is from: Canon PIXMA iP6000D Photo Printer (Office Product)

After weeks of reading reviews about photo printers, I purchased the Canon ip6000D based on it's high ratings. So far it has been a great printer.
Pro's
easy set up
4x6 photos done in around 30 seconds
great picture quality(i couldn't tell the difference when compared with digital photo's from my drugstore)
Don't need a computer to get pictures from your camera
6 seperate toner cartridges
Transfer of files very quick
Quiet printing

Con's
LCD screen is hard to read if not at the right angle (minor annoyance, but doesn't affect quaility)
Doesn't come with a usb cable
best pictues with canon glossy paper - other paper manufactures
don't provide as good quality

I highly recommend this printer.
** update 1/28 - LCD screen can be fixed by switching the contrast on the printer,which of course was written in the manual!!

3.0 out of 5 stars False Info on the Web and From Canon, November 30, 2004

This review is from: Canon PIXMA iP6000D Photo Printer (Office Product)

I LOVE Canon printers and feel that they are the best ink jet printers made for many, many reasons. I have owned all brands, and, truthfully, Canons slipped badly for several years, but in the past year they have zoomed again into the lead. The ip6000D is no exception to the quality build and quality results that Canon printers produce. The problem is that I was needing a CD/DVD printer and all the web info, as well as Canon's own publicity for this printer, their pdf file on this printer, and many sites selling this printer all indicate that it does print CDs/DVDs. Thus, I ordered it from Amazon, my favorite web purchase store. When it arrived, I noticed it had no CD tray and there was nothing in the book about printing CDs or DVDs. I called Canon and they said they were not aware of the printer and would do some research. About 5 minutes later the guy came back and said that the printer WITH THE EXACT SAME NAME had CD printing support in ALL countries except the U.S. I told him that having the same name and number system was absurd with different features. He blew me off. So beware, if you want to print CDs or DVDs, this is NOT the printer to get. But for everything else it is the best choice for home or office and especially for photo printing. With Canon printers, you get amazing quality, cheap refills, no clogging, no chips in the refills, and no paper jams. Without the problem I have cited and all my hours on this issue, it would get 5-stars from me as all recent Canons have. The Epsons and HPs are in a second level and the Lexmarks are at the bottom. I have to go with the Epson Stylus R200 for my CD printing, despite the fact that I did not want to go back to Epson. Amazon, as ususal, accepted my return without hesitation and remain THE kick ass company to do business with.
