Important Printer Buying Tip:
ALWAYS check for the ink cartridge prices before you purchase a printer. Why? Sometimes cheaper printers end up costing more because its ink cartridges may be way expensive. You should calculate the "cost of ownership" per month. The math is simple: (number of prints per month) times (cost of the cartridge) divided by (the yield of the cartridge). Yield is the number of pages that can be printed with one particular cartridge.
For example, assume that average home user prints 150 black pages per month using a black cartridge that yields 200 pages and costs $28. The monthly "cost of ownership" is
(150 pages) x ($28) = $21
      200 pages

Also look at the printer ink alternatives; besides the original manufacturer's cartridges (OEMs), you may have the selection of remanufactured cartridges, compatible ink cartridges, and ink refill kits.

  • Product Description for Canon i860 (From the Manufacturer, Canon)
    If you're a serious photo hobbyist who seeks a single printer that combines home office needs with top-notch color capability, look no further than the Canon i860. Its laser-quality black printing churns out 600 x 600 dpi sheets. And it's fast, with speeds of up to 23 pages per minute. The pigment-based black ink delivers exceptional clarity and legibility, whether you're printing a holiday newsletter or a detailed spreadsheet.

    Photo printing is where the i860 really comes in to its own, offering an exceptional 4,800 x 1,200 dpi resolution. With speeds of up to 16 pages per minute, or just 50 seconds for a borderless 4-by-6-inch print. Your images will be strikingly smooth, with clean, vivid tones, thanks to five photo ink tanks that spray ultra fine two-picoliter droplets.

    A direct print port, combined with PictBridge and Direct Bubble Jet technology allows you to print images directly from your digital camera or camcorder. Built to handle photo papers of a variety of weights and finishes, the i860 can also handle transparencies, plain or high-resolution paper, and envelopes. Canon includes a one-year warranty with Instant Exchange service.

    The feature-rich i860 Desktop Photo Printer offers the ultimate in versatility with high-definition photos and laser-sharp documents at unbelievable speeds. It achieves a maximum resolution of 4,800 x 1,200 color dpi, impressive speeds of up to 23 ppm in black, up to 16 ppm in color, and edge-to-edge borderless 4-by-6-inch photos in approximately 50 seconds.

    Canon's advanced MicroFine Droplet Technology uses a revolutionary nozzle system that ejects consistent prescribed-volume droplets as small as 2 picoliters, for nearly grain-free images. It features a symmetrical print head design that virtually eliminates color variance and banding problems typically found with conventional high-speed printing.

    With the i860, Canon launches the next evolutionary step in digital printing with the introduction of ContrastPLUS, an advanced 5-color ink system. Offering the best of both worlds, the i860 printer delivers exceptional black text quality with a pigment-based black ink tank. Plus, it provides true 4-color photo printing with a photo black ink tank for improved image contrast and overall photo sharpness.

    MSRP for Canon i860: $120.00
    Street Price: $84.00 - $200.00


    CNET.com Editors' rating: 7.9 Good
    Average user rating: 8.4 Very good
    The good: Five-ink system; fast print speeds; 4x6-inch photo-paper tray; USB 2.0 port.
    The bad: No LCD preview; lacks camera-card reader.
    The bottom line: The i860 is the rare photo printer that quickly prints both text and high-quality photos. For photo-printing frills, however, look to the i900D.
