Opinions on the i960

Archived from groups: comp.periphs.printers (More info?)

Hello,

I tried this on another news group and got no answer. This looks like it
might be the place to post. So here is my question....

I take alot of digital photos with my Canon S50 and would like to have the
ability to produce photo quality prints at home.

I am considering the i960 printer. Does anyone have any comments or know of
any reasons not to purchase this model?

My Internet research indicates this is a good printer.

Have a good day.

Dave,

I have had an I960 for about 7 months. I use it for photo prints.

It's a great value. It prints well on many different papers (Canon and others
.. . . I happen to prefer Epson ColorLife). The replacement ink cartridges are
relatively inexpensive (particularly on Ebay) and very easy to replace. I have
never had a clog (as oposed to many with my old Epson).

John Moore

I recommend it highly.

The I960 is a great printer. Its very fast, quiet and takes care of
itsself like the other Canon I models. If you do not print much, then
you will be ok only by filling with original canon inks and canon
papers as previously suggested.

If you do go through alot of ink, then you may want to consider
refilling your cartridges with quality ink such as Formulabs. Several
vendors carry this ink and are listed here regularly as they are
highly recommended.
