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. |

Detailed Specs (Canon IP5000, 9615A001):
Product Description for Canon PIXMA IP5000 (From the Manufacturer, Canon)
Printing professional quality photos from home has become a reality, thanks to easy-to-use photo printers like the Canon PIXMA ip5000. By combining five-color printing and a 1,856-nozzle print head that's capable of delivering superfine 1-picoliter ink droplets (up to 22 million droplets per inch), the ip5000 delivers stunningly accurate prints that should leave professional photo labs a little worried.
Color resolution is as high as 9,600 x 2,400 dpi, with black-and-white resolution of up to 600 x 600 dpi. Print speeds are as high as 25 ppm in black, 17 ppm in color, while a borderless 4-by-6-inch photo can take as little as 36 seconds. The same drive system responsible for the ip5000's improved print speeds also results in a low 34 dB(A) noise level.
Precision Color Distribution Technology
Unlike other systems, nozzle configuration in Bubble Jet printers is simple, so it is easier to make them smaller and more dense. Using its superior semiconductor manufacturing technology, Canon has succeeded in developing an ultrahigh-precision, multinozzle print head.
The problem of color inconsistency has been solved by positioning a mirror-image line of 128 nozzles (600 dpi pitch for each color) at a half-pitch offset from the existing line. This configuration also provides the added advantage of enabling high-resolution printing at 1,200 dpi.
Easy-PhotoPrint v3.0
While most photo-editing software applications will brighten the entire image, Easy-PhotoPrint 3.0 accurately detects the subject's face and adjusts the skin to the optimum tone. Brighten dark faces caused by bright backgrounds. Choose from one-click automatic to correct the entire image all at once, or manual to correct just a selected area.
Easy-PhotoPrint 3.0 also lets you select and print any image on your PC, perfectly trim images, correct images using lab-quality retouching features, correct red-eye, smooth facial lines and skin tone, sharpen faces, remove blemishes, and print in a variety of sizes and layouts.
Along with a wide variety of plain and photo papers, the ip5000 also accepts envelopes and transparencies. The dual paper path allows you to print two-sided documents or simply store photo papers in one tray and plain paper in the other.
This printer can connect directly to select digital cameras. With its easy-to-use USB port, hooking up the printer to your computer is a snap, while a direct print port allows you to print directly from a PictBridge-compatible digital camera or DV camcorder, with or without your computer. The software bundle includes Easy-PhotoPrint and PhotoStitch. Compatible with both PC and Mac operating systems, the ip5000 comes backed with a one-year limited warranty on both parts and labor.

This powerhouse printer combines next-generation print head technology with advanced five-color printing, for fast, high-definition photos. Canon Full-photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering (FINE) uses a high performance 1,856-nozzle print head that ejects precise, consistent droplets as small as 1 picoliter. Up to 22 million droplets are placed per square inch, setting a new standard for photographic detail. The result is an amazing resolution of up to 9,600 x 2,400 color dpi; for detail and clarity unmatched by comparable printers. Plus, the ContrastPLUS 5-color ink system-with four dye-based inks plus a pigment-based black ink produces true-life photos, along with laser-quality text. Your output will simply amaze you.
The Pixma iP5000 Photo Printer has the speed to match its exceptional quality. It can produce up to 25 ppm in black and up to 17 ppm in color; and a beautiful 4-by-6-inch borderless print takes only 36 seconds. It also features a new drive system that not only improves speed but also reduces noise. Want to simplify your photo printing? Simply connect any PictBridge-compatible digital camera or DV camcorder, and print. It's that fast and easy!
To reduce printing costs, this unique printer has five individual ink tanks that let you replace only the color that runs out, rather than an entire cartridge containing several unused ink colors. Plus, a unique low-ink sensor alerts you when ink levels are low, so you can just drop in a new tank as needed.

CNET.com Editors' review:
Just when we finally caught our breath, Canon has announced another batch of Pixma printers (the company released four budget Pixma models earlier this summer). This time, instead of workhorse models, Canon treats us to a round of photo enthusiast printers. The five-color Pixma iP5000, like its predecessor the Canon i960, is the grouping's flagship model.
Upside: As is traditional, Canon introduces its latest printing technologies in its flagship photo printer. This year, Canon halves the droplet volume of previous models, bringing 1pl (picoliter) droplets that allow it to increase addressable resolution from 16 droplets per pixel to 32. The effective resolution bump is 9,600x2,400dpi compared to the i960's 4,800x1,200dpi. In addition, the iP5000 has all the new features you can find on the rest of the Pixma lineup, such as dual paper trays, autoduplexing--Canon plans to introduce dual-sided photo paper--and higher paper-input capacity (300 sheets vs. the i960's 150).
Downside: The inevitable gamut vs. dot-size dilemma: the eight-color Pixma iP8500 will likely be able to output a larger number of colors, but the 1pl drops on the iP5000 may be able to produce finer detail.
Outlook: Unless the new printheads suffer from clogging issues, which is always a potential problem as nozzle size shrinks, or the new inks aren't up-to-snuff in terms of gamut or longevity, we expect good things from the Canon Pixma iP5000 ($199.99 list). Stay tuned for our full review once this printer hits stores this fall.
