Thanks for the tips everyone... elderly Epson C60 to be replaced by a
brand spanky Canon IP3000 Colour Bubble Jet. Spent a bit more than I had
hoped (£66.23) but it seems to be the mutts nuts after my old heap. Seeing
as the Epson was rescued from a skip it didn't do bad but I'm looking
forward to the new one )

You can say that about any computer periph/component you look at. It's a
case of limiting outlay for adequate performance. It will do the job and it
didn't cost too much. Plus reviews are good, ink tanks are in seperate
colours with generic inks at £2 a piece and it will cope with the limited
amount of text and photos we print.
I could have easily spent twice the amount after a little "If I spend
another £20 I could get the WidgetPrint XP70000" or whatever... you have to
leap into the market somewhere....

This is comming from an ip3000 owner. It mixes the three colors to form
black on photo paper. It also seems to mix the three colors to form
black if you have a document... a text document with just one spot of
color somewhere... an issue I don't know how to resolve. The dye black
would likely resolve this issue. So worst case it might require more
ink than a slightly more spendy model... worst case.

But so long as you accept this limitation... more power to you. I'm
pretty pleased with my ip3000. Does the job, does it well, and it was
so cheap it was only about $25 more than the ink it came with. It was
just an experiment to see how decent the current generation canons, and
I do have another one with the 5 tanks if this one kicks the bucket.

<edit mine>

The price difference the last time I looked at expansys in may was

ip3000 £78.26
ip4000 £90.17

Price difference of £11.91 or USD$21.47 This was in may.

-amazon.co.uk
ip3000 £64.99
ip4000 £109.69

Price difference of £44.70 or USD$80.59.

I don't know how many burgers you eat in a single sitting but there is
no way I could save $21.47 or even $80.59 eating at in and out rather
than buying big macs. Come to think about it... I have no idea how much
in and out is... let alone a big mac. I suspect for the price of a big
mac I could get indian take out.

A rule of thumb... respect that fact that other people in this group are
living in different markets where the prices are different. Actually
look at the prices before making blanket statements. Or take the time
to look at the canon us site, the ip3000 is listed at $100 where the
ip4000 is listed at $150, not can you can by either one at their e-store.

For future, why not point out a reason why someone MIGHT spend 33% more
for a printer rather than assuming they are making a foolish choice.
Why not measure the useage of your bci-6 black ink, times that by a
factor of 3 and establish how much more one would be paying on ink for
the ip3000 than the ip4000.

WRONG. CANON SPECIFICALLY SAYS THAT IF YOU CHOOSE PLAIN PAPER IN THE
DRIVER YOU WILL USE THE PIGMENTED BLACK INK. THE COLORS COME FROM THE
CYM TANKS.

I BOUGHT AN IP3000. THE NEXT DAY I EXCHANGED IT FOR AN IP4000. THERE
IS A DIFFERENCE THAT IS MORE THAN WORTH THE MONEY. YOU ARE JERKING YOUR
SELF OFF TRYING TO JUSTIFY YOUR STUPIDITY. THE PHOTOS FROM THE IP4000
ARE SUPERIOR BECAUSE OF THE DYE BLACK.

Two points.
1. You don't own the ip3000
2. I do and can contrast them vs the mp760 which is close enough to the
ip4000

I'm telling you I observed this behavior. I agree it "shouldn't" do
that, but never the less IT DOES. Why not take the time to try it your
self on your ip4000.

<edit mine>

Yes, because I disagree with you... i must be a stupid vigorous
masturbator. You are always right and never can be wrong. I mean i'm
not the one who said the price difference between the two printers is
the same as two hamburgers from two different fast food joints. The
price difference is a little bit more than that, for this users market
the difference could be the equlivent to $40 to $80.

Look I own both the ip3000 and mp760. You owned a ip3000 for a day.
That doesn't count as experience. If what you say is true then it's
only benefit on photos is the fact that blacks might look better, esp
ones that have 80% to 100% black in them. What's funny is I agree there
is a benefit... but not really worth the price tag.

Black comes from two places on the ip3000, either from the pigment tank
or from mixing CMY. When printing black text mixed with color, i've
observed mine going to CMY to do it. Why would I notice this? Because
I was running low on magenta and thought I had enough to finish the
document, which I would have except it wasn't using the big bci-3e tank
for black, what you'd expect for text.

Rather than going offtopic and harassing me, why don't you actually
INVESTIGATE the issue for your self. Actually prove me wrong on
something through taking the time to observe it for your self.

CURRENTLY $20.00

WHEN THEY FIRST CAME OUT IT COST ME $40 TO EXCHANGE THE IP3000 FOR THE
IP4000. IN THE LONG SCHEME OF THINGS THIS IS CHUMP CHANGE. $15.00 OF
THAT WAS FOR THE PIGMENT INK SO THE ACTUAL DIFFERENCE WAS $25.00

TODAY AFTER TAKING OUT THE INK COST THE DIFFERENCE IS $5.00 JUST A FEW
CENTS MORE THANT A DOUBLE DOUBLE WITH FRIES.

So sir, on this issue you are incorrect. There are several reasons why
this assumption is invalid.

1. $20 rebate is good for the ip3000 and ip4000 as well as others in
the pixma line.
2. You assume you can get the ip4000 at frys for $100. You might but
most of the states in the union can not, and even among those who have
frys not all have the ip4000 in stock.
3. We are talking about the UK, which is a different market. The
rebate doesn't exist and the prices are different.

Your logic is faulty. They both have the bci-3e pigment black, assuming
this is what you are talking about. You "could" say the ip4000 comes
with an extra black worth $12.00 but that's splitting hairs.

I can believe a $40 difference between the two printers, the MSRP is
$100 and $150 so it's reasonable to believe $40. But this is the US
market not the UK market.

The cost of the ink has not changed, your logic is faulty. The
difference would only be seen if you are printing things with 80% black
in them.

And it costs $5.00 more for a big mac than an "in and out" burger?

They are aware of the issue. Someoone else here pointed out the issue
that the printer is document oriented rather than being object oriented.
I don't know what the issue is my self. Which is really sad because
what i'm pointing out here is another benifit of the ip4000 over the
ip3000, something that seems to make you glow.... yet you can't see
that. Perhaps you can't accept the fact that there are some flaws in
the printer... I don't know, but you can't seem to grasp simple concepts.

1. The ip3000 costs less than the ip4000. Not by $5.00 but $40 to $80
depending on the market.
2. The ip4000 is in short supply... it's not in production anymore.
You are lucky if you can find it, and when you do it could cost anything
even the offical MSRP
3. Different markets have different prices, if you followed my links
you could see I spoke the truth. frys isn't going to help a UK user.

But you with all due respect are not interested in the truth... you
would do anything say anything to promote your favorite printer.

If someone wants to save $40 to $80 US for the ip3000... more power to
them.

YOU ARE GETTING AN EXTRA INK CART. IT IS WORTH AROUND $15.00 SMACKERS
IF YOU WANT TO SPLIT HAIRS THEN $12.00 SO THE DIFF IS $8.00. IT MAKES
NO DIFFERENCE WHAT YOU PRINT OR WHAT THE COVERAGE IS. YOU STILL GET IT.

> i am only concerned about the usa

Then why bother to reply to a UK user asking about the price of
printers. Don't you understand that the UK isn't in the Americas? How
is it useful to someone in the UK that frys has the printer for $100
with a $20 rebate.

OP- "Canon IP3000 Colour Bubble Jet £66.23"

If you are only concerned about the USA you have no business taking the
time to reply to users from other nations who have different prices.
This is beyond stupid.. this is ludicrous.

> sooo what

You see... this is why you are a spammer. Responces regarding us
businesses or prices was 100% unsolicited.

> you are getting an extra ink cart. it is worth around $15 smackers
> if you want to split hairs then $12.00 so the diff is $8.00

We should be talking quid, the OP was quoting the price in the UK.

This is comming from the man who goes wild and corrects MY numbers when
they are a buck off the deal you get at costco, the deal no one else can
get.

No sir, the diff is $28. You see the rebate for the ip4000, that $20
rebate you are so proud of, so proud you tell people in the UK that
can't get it about it applies to both the ip4000 and the ip3000. You
were made aware of this fact yet you continue to lie.

> hey if <Mr. Burt> can buy i960 then i am sure the ip4000 will
> be around
<edit mine>

Well you see, while this is somewhat a valid point... somewhat... it's
hardly the main point. You see the supply for the ip4000 is low, and
the demand is somewhat high, so the price you can expect to be close to
retail which in america is $150. You can get LUCKY and find it for $100
but you have to shop around to find it for that price. Any website that
has it for $100 also says it's sold out. Now in the UK one can easily
spend £93.12 for the printer which is $167.43, where this guy bought the
ip3000 for £66.23 or $119.05. If you are not lucky you can expect to
spend £127.00 or USD$228.32.

You see, the price mark on the ip3000 was lower, and because the demand
is lower people are not nessicarly asking MSRP for it. You understand
supply and demand, you are a Standford MBA afterall.

Is the ip4000 worth USD $48.38 more? is it worth USD $109.27 more?

Oh but wait... the ip4000 bci-6bk is £6.84 or USD$12.30. So about
$36.08 more to $96.97 in terms you can understand... the USD. You can
say the ip4000 might cost less to operate because it doesn't have to use
a CMY to make black, but you never bothered to crunch the numbers to
justify that assertion. I'm not going to bother because I can respect
anyone who doesn't want to spedn an extra 30 or 40 quid or more for
something they don't feel they will use.

This is being accurate to the penny/cent.

Now the funny thing is you can get the i960 on close out for between
$100 and $300 depending where you shop. The ip4000 isn't available on
closeout yet.

> you cannot count or add

I can't count or add? Sorry I don't understand measekite-math. I don't
understand how 100 - 60 = 5. Nor do I understand ($100-$20) - ($60-20)
= $5.00 or even ($100-$20-$12.30) - ($60-20) = $5

This is assuming that your mythical $100 deal for the ip4000 was true.
The best price I can find at this moment is $112.99, and to be fair the
best price I can find at this moment for the ip3000 is $79.94 shipped...
a difference of 33.05... though from amazon the difference is 28.01. As
both carry the same rebate the difference is the same. But this is
AMERICA, not UK.

You can say I don't know the price of a big mac, that would be true, but
I don't understand how one could save $27.70 buying your burger from "in
and out".

You sir are wrong, dead wrong. You are so wrong it's ludicrous. I have
no idea how you get $5.00 because it's simply not true.

You totally missed the point... you see the parent was asking about
printers in the UK... and you responded with American prices. If you
actually had common sense you wouldn't need people like my self to point
out when you are wrong. It clearly leads to a brused ego and causes you
to lash out. You would be a much happer person if you'll just accept
the fact that sometimes you are wrong, learn, and move on.
