Canon i900D Printer Review
Print Sharp and Colorful Photos with Canon i900D Inkjet Printer MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price) |  |
Canon i900D offers very good print quality. It prints great detailed, sharp, clear, and colorful photos.
The speed of Canon i900D is a bit slower than its less-full-featured sibling, the Canon i960, but quite a bit faster than the slightly more expensive HP Photosmart 7960.
With Canon i900D you can print without a computer by connecting your PictBridge-compatible digital camera or other Canon Bubble Jet Direct camera or camcorder's USB cable to the direct-print port on the Canon i900D's lower-front panel. The two card-reader slots in the center of the i900D's main control panel present a secondary straight-from-the-source printing option.
These slots accommodate most of the popular camera memory cards.
Another nice feature is the front-panel USB 2.0 port.
Canon i900D comes with a wide range of software including PhotoStitch, Easy-PhotoPrint, PhotoRecord (PC only), ZoomBrowserEX (PC only), Easy-WebPrint (PC with Internet Explorer 5.5 or 6 only) and ImageBrowser (Mac) programs.

Reviews Summary:
The summary is based on testimonials of the Canon i900D users and editors in various sources such as PC Magazine, Cnet, PCWorld etc.
The six-color Canon i900D photo printer is smartly designed, and it's versatile enough for serious home digital photographers.
If you print a lot of 4x6 photos and need a quick, versatile photo printer, you can't beat the Windows- and Mac-compatible Canon i900D. If 4x6 photo printing is not necessarily your thing, or if you don't care about features, such as a mini LCD panel or direct-from-the-camera printing, you can save $100 with the Canon i860, which offers excellent text printing as well.
