Superb Performance; Exceptional Value, September 15, 2004
By F1 Nut (New York, NY USA)
The Pixma iP3000 has performed flawlessly, and is an exceptional value.
(a) The printer is quick, and the output is very sharp. (Please note that I have not printed any photos yet- just web pages and documents).
(b) The printer can duplex pages automatically (prints on both sides of a page). This is very handy when printing documents with many pages. Duplexing appears to slow the printer down a little, but it is still quick.
(c) The iP3000 has two paper slots so you can either load up a large quantity of plain paper, or use the tray for photo paper, and the top feed for plain paper.
(d) The printer uses 4 ink tanks, which can be replaced individually. This will help reduce ink costs (compared to replacing ink cartridges in other printers).
(e) Some newer digital cameras can be connected directly to the printer to produce photo prints, so you don't have to bother transferring the images from the camera to your PC first. (I haven't tried this yet).
Two potential "negatives" can be (1) some Epson printers allow printing directly onto CDs/DVDs, while the Canon doesn't have this functionality, and (2) compared to the Canon i560, the Pixma iP3000 has a larger footprint. Although I like the smaller i560 footprint, I value the features in the iP3000 more.

"Excellent printer, you wont regret buying it"
by Dave600000 - June 12, 2005
Pros: photo quality printing, very fast, very quiet, feeds from 2 paper sources, inexpensive
Cons: won’t mow the lawn
I have no idea why the editors rated this under a 7 because this printer is simply amazing. Ok, it doesn’t have a parallel port connection, but does anyone really need 1? it uses USB just fine. i bought this for under $50 including shipping on eBay and cant understand what more you could get by getting a higher priced printer. i had considered getting the ip4000 or ip5000 but i figured i don’t do much photo printing so i went with this. After printing a photo when i set it up, i can’t see how the other models could be much better. it looks like i just brought the photo home from the photo lab! Setup was easy on an XP machine. i haven’t tried duplex printing yet but im sure it works fine. Oh and as far as how loud it is...after the initial click which isn’t very loud; it produces almost no noise at all while printing. run your finger over a piece of paper from side to side a few times, that’s about the noise that it makes. Other than the initial click, you could print while someone is sleeping in the room. If you’re considering a printer, just buy this one, you won’t regret it!
