Canon Pixma iP6700D Review

by Danny Allen

- Canon's new Pixma iP6700D photo printer is the successor to the company's iP6600D, one of our 100 Best Products of 2006. I was eager to see what Canon added to our midrange favorite, but found it largely a case of evolution, not revolution.

User Reviews for Canon USA Canon Pixma IP6700D

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Individual ink cartridges , High quality photo printing

    Weaknesses: Expensive Cartridges

    Overall Evaluation: I've had quite a few color printers over the years. This is my first Canon Pixma and I admit the color is really accurate. For the first time I don't have to deal with too much ink on the page or colors that don't appear as they do on my monitor or in real life. The printer hibernates all by itself which I like, so if I'm not using it for a week or so, I don't have to remember to shut it off as I do with the other printers. I've had great luck with it. The only downside so far for me is the cost of replacement ink cartridges. I bought one full set of Canon cartridges for this printer at Best Buy and paid almost half of the original cost of the printer. Canon has made it much more difficult (although not impossible) to use compatible cartridges by including a proprietary IC in each cartridge.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Fast, quiet, high quality photo prints.

    Weaknesses: 6 ink cartridges (can get expensive), though could be worse.

    Overall Evaluation: This is my second canon printer. I upgraded from the i560 and what an upgrade it has been. I thought my old printer produced good pictures. This printer produces great pictures. The color and quality of the prints are fantastic. The LCD monitor is nice, but I print out everything from my computer post editing. Great printer. Would highly recommend
