4.0 out of 5 stars Very Nice Printer, February 4, 2010

I purchased this printer primarily for producing sheet music scores in which the wide format is necessary in order to create booklets that are stapled in the center. Each piece of music has a detailed graphic art cover, so image quality was important to me as well, although second to document quality. In searching for the best wide format printer for my needs, I purchased an Epson Stylus 1400, an Epson Workforce 1100, and the Canon ix7000. First, I actually purchased the Epson 1400. I was unsatisfied with its production of sheet music as there was what I found to be excessive feathering on the staff lines, the note heads, and the text in the document. I spoke to an Epson representative who recommended that I try the 1100. The 1100 was better for my purposes and still was able to print very nice images. Its use of two black ink cartridges was also more convenient. However, I was not completely satisfied with it as there was still some feathering on some of the staff lines. However, I really liked the printer and kept it while ordering the Canon ix 7000. I compared the two by printing one of the covers for my music on high quality from both printers and a copy of a piece of sheet music at high and normal quality from each printer. I then wrote what each one was on the back, shuffled the papers and my girlfriend and I selected the best prints from each category through a blind test.

First up was the covers. The covers were black and white with a lot of shadowing, allowing for many shades of black. Both produced quite nice prints with the actual shade being slightly different on each. The Epson printed slightly darker and yellowed while the Canon was more bright and clear. I did not really have a preference except for the fact that the Canon produced an area of solid black with more depth and solidity than the Epson. My girlfriend selected the Canon print as better.

For the actual music document, we both selected the Canon high quality print as best, the Canon normal quality print as second best and the Epson high and normal as 3rd and 4th. This was surprising to me as I felt the Epson did quite a good job as well. However, the Canon showed only the slightest feathering in the staff lines.

For a versatile printer for images and text, I highly recommend this printer. Unless you can afford to have one wide format laser printer for text and an inkjet for images, this printer is the best solution for both that I have found. I should also mention that the build quality of the Canon was the sturdiest and best looking (although biggest) of the bunch.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great High Quality Printer, July 10, 2010

I purchased this printer for printing my company's brochure. The quality of the printing is outstanding, better than the HP color laser printer that it replaced. It is noisy but not as noisy as the HP color laser. You can use photo paper only from the rear tray but this has not caused problems for me. Maximum paper weight for the cassette is 28 lb. Maximum paper weight for the rear tray is 53 lbs. This weight limit does not allow for heavy photo paper. I have used heavier paper and it does print. However there is a slight imperfection in the print on heavy paper, not a problem for a brochure cover but not acceptable for a picture. The duplexing is only available with plain paper not photo paper. For the brochure I used photo paper but told the printer that it was plain paper, looked great.

A couple of years ago I stepped into the world of large format printers using a HP Design Jet at work. I had to had to learn a lot about different papers, paper sizes, paper weights, paper finishes, paper suppliers, issues with inks, issues with the printer, and printer driver and application interactions. Using any large format printer (which is any size bigger than legal) requires a substantial invest of time and study to produce any results.

When everything comes together, the results are simply stunning! Size does matter!

I wanted a large format printer for home! But which one?

I chose the Canon PIXMA iX7000 Canon PIXMA iX7000 Inkjet Business Printer (3302B002). Why? I read the reviews, which were not too flattering. But I also knew from person experience the difficulties in using large format printers.

I love my ix7000. Yes, there was a learning curve, as with any large format printer.

It meets and exceeds my expectations. It was the right choice for me.

Printing from the cassette (up to 11x14 or A3) the pages are coated by the clear ink so as to equal or better color laser printers. I have gotten over 350 pages of text without using up the black ink!

This is not a photo printer, but it does very well on photos, provided you use photo paper. A 13x19 glossy photo is simply impressive!

All my computers can use the printer via my LAN (which includes Wi-Fi wireless access point).

If you have not used a large format printer before, it will take time to learn and effort to experiment with driver and application interactions. So take your time and be patient with the machine and yourself.

As with any large format printer, paper and inks are always a "special order." You must always order both long before you go out. I have spent almost as much money in paper as I did in buying the printer! I have 11 x 14 paper and photo paper. 13 x 19 paper (34 lb) , matte photo (80 lb), and glossy photo (80 lb). Some papers are $4 a sheet!

There is a bug with all Canon printers while using a network (wired or wireless) connection with Apple Macintosh: To attach a network Canon printer, you MUST be done from the Administrators account. Otherwise the printer never connects.
