Reviews Summary:
The summary is based on testimonials of the Canon i9100 users and editors in various sources such as PC Magazine, Cnet, PCWorld etc.
Graphic designers, service bureaus, and people in love with digital photography will find the Canon i9100 a good match for their needs. Its color photos show bright, accurate colors, and both color and gray-scale images exhibit sharp detail and smooth textures. Though the inkjet printer's text quality on plain paper suffers from a somewhat grayish look and rough edges, it is good enough for the occasional letter or spreadsheet. (If you use coated inkjet paper, text quality compares well to any inkjet printer.)
If you don't need to print anything larger than legal size, you don't need to spend $500 on the Canon i9100 Photo Printer. But if you need photo quality output at sizes up to 13 by 19 inches, the i9100 is one of the few choices available in inkjet printers.
