Note: The Canon i9100 is no longer being manufactured. You may want to consider purchasing the newer Canon i9900 photo printer instead.

The ultimate edge-to-edge borderless photo printer--from 4-by-6 snapshots to breathtaking 13-by-19-inch posters--the i9100 makes them big, fast, and beautiful. Designed to bring professional quality photo printing to the home, the i9100 from Canon is a lightweight printer that delivers high-quality prints and comes with a reasonable price tag. Able to handle a wide variety of media, including plain paper, T-shirt transfers, envelopes, transparencies, and Canon specialty papers, this versatile printer also supports paper sizes up to 13 by 19 inches.

Individual ink tanks save money, reduce waste.

The 4,800 x 1,200 dpi (black and color) maximum resolution is achieved with Canons advanced MicroFine Droplet technology, which utilizes 3,072 print nozzles. Each nozzle delivers ultra-small 4 picoliter droplets to provide exceptionally detailed prints rivaling those of a professional photo lab. The i9100 is capable of producing borderless prints for a truly professional look, while a 6-ink cartridge system helps to save both money and the environment by letting you change just one color at a time.

Weighing 17.6 pounds, the i9100 has a footprint of 22.5 by 13.1 inches and emits about 37 dB of noise in best quality mode. The i9100 connects to your host computer via its USB port. The software bundle helps you to get the most out of your prints with programs including Easy-PhotoPrint, PhotoStitch, ImageBrowser, and more. PC and Mac compatible, the i9100 also comes backed with a one year limited warranty on both parts and labor.

This review is from: Canon i9100 Photo Printer (Office Product)

I picked up this printer to print 11x17 and the occasional 13x19 photo. I've owned a Canon back in 1997, but have been using Epson printers since. Now I'm switching back to Canon for good. This printer is flat out amazing. The print quality is fantastic, as is the design and quality feel of the actual product.

The materials and colors are nice, and not cheap and loud like Epson printers. My other Epson is a photo 820 which was only [$$] but a fortune for ink, and Epson never did finish the drivers for Mac OSX. It was advertised that it could do borderless printing, but it would only do it in OS9 which nobody uses anymore. The Canon prints borderless 13x19 prints in OSX and they're brilliant. Epson's are nice printers, and I think they had the edge for a few years but Canon has clearly caught up. I'm surprised how fast and quiet this printer is, but I guess that's what you get for [$$]. It's worth it though.

I am a graphic designer with a meticulous eye for detail -- trust me, this is a good product.

This review is from: Canon i9100 Photo Printer (Office Product)

I needed a good printer for my business to print brochures and photo postcards. I received it today and printed a couple of family pictures I took with my Canon Powershot S20 3.3 Megapixel digital camera on a piece of the Canon Photo Paper Pro 4"x6" (5 sheets are included with the printer) to test the quality. I can truly say that the picture quality using this combo was better than labwork. The colors were more vibrant without the slightest hint of pixels anywhere. My jaw dropped to the floor when I saw this beautiful photo print in less than 30 seconds. This printer, I am convinced, is the best you can buy. It does borderless printing in all sizes... Even 13x19! Prints on other papers provided good results but not as stunning as the combo used above. I printed a borderless photo on a piece of regular 8 1/2x11 paper and it looked great!

This printer is truly a marvel and the speed is unmatched with the quality of the prints that rival and surpass professional photo labs. The Canon paper costs a few cents more but is well worth it. Make sure you get Canon Photo Paper Pro and not just the Photo Paper Plus. Ink use is minimal. I printed 5 4x6" photos, 3 5x7" photos and 3 8 1/2x11" photos and the ink level did not go down. I bought mock-up ink carts off of Ebay that cost $10.95 for all 6 carts! Truly, you cannot go wrong with this printer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic quality and speed - Photos and CAD, October 11, 2003

This review is from: Canon i9100 Photo Printer (Office Product)

This is a perfect printer for a small architectural firm. The photo quality is remarkable - better than any lab has produced for us - and the speed is jaw dropping compared to Epson.

Haven't done large format photos yet - but have regularly printed 11 x 17 B/W CAD drawings - which are incredibly crisp even on plain paper. Tiny type is readable on reduced checkplots. I should have put a stopwatch to it, but it seems that a reduced D size print with complex title bar/graphics comes out in 15 seconds or so. Just received some 13 x 19 paper so that we can print D size (24 x 36) plots at exactly half size - giving accurate 1/8" scale drawings for example for what would be 1/4" scale on the plotter.

Separate ink tanks, quality and speed are what drew us to this printer. Will have to see how the ink lasts to see how economical it is in use.
