Summary: Prints excellent until it breaks down
Review: Print quality is awesome but broke down just after having for a year - which means I have to pay to have it fixed since it is no longer covered under warranty. In addition, there are only a handful of repair centers, with the closet being clear across town.

Summary: Canon S900 Photo Inkjet Printer
Review: It is true with everything that the description said about the canon s900 printer. Its not only very easy and simple to use, but it also has a computer interface program built into windows after using the installer for it. Meaning that you can run a print alignment, color adjustment, or other functions easily from your windows printer software. Also Cannon s900 comes with other software as well to enhance your experiance with photos. The printer uses 5 tiny cartridges instead of your conventional two cartridge. Which makes buying them easier and easier to install. The printer is also much smarter than printers from 5 or more years ago. The tray that the printer spits your print out into, can completely fold up as well which makes ideal for storage or transportation. The printer hooks up to your computer via USB which also makes data transfor faster. It can print color photos faster than ever. I completely recommend this product!!! I am very happy with my printer.

Summary: Great Quality for the $$$
Review: This is my first review and I cannot say enough about the S900. I spent time researching before my purchase and found S900 to be the best bang for the buck. While the printer itself is a bit more bulky for my taste, the quality from the first print made little quirks like that go out the window. All previous reviews have a point about the cost of ink but all printers are like that. I was amazed at how well ink is conserved - I must have printed out 50 high res pictures by now and the ink catridges are still 2/3 full. My only fault with the printer had to do with the use of the right type of paper. After I ran out of the Canon paper I had purchased with the printer, I purchased Kodak. The quality of the printed photo was BAD. I then purchased HP paper and had the same result. Moral of the story: NOT ALL PHOTO PAPER IS THE SAME. I realized too late that the photo printers sell photo paper that best suits their printer model. Buy Canon photo paper for a Canon printer. I must note the Epson photo paper worked just as well as the Canon paper.

Summary: Not That Great
Review: I have owned my Cannon S900 for about five months. If you use the Cannon brands of paper, you will have much better results, which is probably understandable. Even with that, it makes minimally better pictures than my previously owned similar {brand} that was about five years old. If you are a person that is prone to stress, or needs the printer to perform when you click "Print," this may not be the model for you. It goes on the blink with the slightest provocation. The ink wells are collectively expensive, and you have to keep back ups if you need color prints, because each runs out independently of the other. The paper feeder is tempermental. Frequently, nothing is in sinc, and it is at those times that I tell my husband that I'd rather have a root canal than own this Cannon C900.

Summary: Amazing
Review: This printer showed up on my goldbox and since our old printer wasn't very good at photos we got it. Also had something to do with our 7 month old daughter. I just finished printing out some 250 pictures for photo albums for grandparents. That isn't all that we have printed on it either. We live away from all our family, so we print pictures often. I am not very good with computers, or anything to do with them. But Ihave been able to use the printer without much help. The only thing about this printer that isn't fantastic is the price of the ink cartidges, and not being able to find them in a small town. But we just get them online now.

Summary: Excellent printer but......
Review: I bought this printer to replace my Epson 1280 which clogged constantly (and continued to print bad copies on my [best] stock) and was so slow that I would make coffee in the time it took for one small print. The Canon's print quality is better on some photos, not quite as good (but close) on others. The text is amazingly better, and the speed is awesome in comparison. Epson tech support was a joke (they were asking for my credit card info to charge me for the help before they would answer a quesion, and responded three months later to a letter I sent them by referring me to their web site or phone support). From Canon, I got quick answers plus a follow up call on my several tech support phone calls (no one even asked me for a serial number much less a credit card number - although it was not an 800 number). I burned through ink cartridges on the Epson, but with the Canon, I replace only what I use up first and figure I have saved a fortune since I have replaced the Photo Cyan and Photo Magenta more than twice as often as the other colors. I have printed over 6,000 photo greeting cards (mostly black & white or sepia) since I bought the printer and have had excellent results. Based on that, I would give Canon 5 stars. But I have had some problems with heavy card stock thickness (Canon will not gaurantee any thicker paper that is not theirs) and feeding of envelops. I also have questions as to the light fastness of the ink. Also, Canon has a very limited choice of papers, and no satin finish photo paper. If you don't want glossy, you are stuck with rolling the dice with other manufacturers. I have found better pricing on the standard Epson glossy paper which seems take the Canon ink very nicely, but I am not a big fan of the glossy look. I am still searching for the reasonably priced archival printer that does not say Epson on it! I wish Canon would help me out there as I would hate to have to buy an Epson again.

Review: Watch out! You can get a very mottled, splotched effect in the shadows, at least with Kodak paper, the best and most commonly available paper. It appears and disappears mysteriously and the recommended profiles do not appear to remedy it.

Summary: Waste Ink Tank?
Review: I own a BJC8200 printer and have had no problems with it until recently, I've had it for about 3 years. Recently it's been depositing black dots in the same place on every page I print. Photo print quality is excellent on various photo papers. Well, I've been reading the reviews here because I might want to replace my printer and the topic of waste ink tank alarmed me. So I went to the Canon website and download the product manuals for several of their printers including my "antique". All of Canon's photo printers (I checked the BJC8200, S820, S900 and the new i850) and they all have a waste ink tank. That said, I've had my printer for 3 years and although I don't print that much the tank has not filled up yet. So, I'm as suprised as any of you that my printer has this tank. Does anyone know where in the printer this tank is?

Summary: Simply amazing results!
Review: Based on a friend's recommendation, followed by a review I read on C|Net, I purchased this printer for Christmas. I am not a professional photographer and my intention was to make prints of personal digital photos to stick in frames around the house. So, I'll relay the points that mattered to me. To begin with, the setup was very straightforward and I did not encounter any problems. One of my only complaints, and its a big one, is that a USB printer cable is NOT included! Arrgh... Almost all of my other USB devices came with a USB cable, so I found this very irritating. It delayed my setup by an entire day. However, after purchasing one, everything went very smooth and I was using the printer immediately. Regarding the printer's output, I found it simply amazing. The printer came with a sample package of 4x6 Photo Paper Plus which produced images of such good quality, I would swear they were real photo prints. I've also purchased some Kodak high-gloss paper, and don't really see a big difference. Both types of paper have a glossy shine and make amazing prints. I also made prints using plain white 8.5" x 11" non-photo paper, and as expected, didn't get great results but they were still good. However, on plain paper the results are "damp" and make the paper soggy. I'm going to stick to using the color laser printer at my office for my color graphs and charts. Like all guys do with a new toy, I produced a few initial prints without reading the documentation and they turned out OK. After playing with the included software, and tweaking the "Vivid Photo" option, the results were spectacular. Colors started to jump off the page and I was extremely pleased. The resolution was extremely high and colors didn't bleed into each other at all. One thing I've learned is that the higher-resolution the digital photo is (1600x1200, 2048x1536) the better the print. Lower-resolution digital photos (640x480) simply don't produce good results. The printer itself is compact and only the removable paper-feed tray in the rear consumes a lot of space. However, if you're sticking to 4x6 paper, you don't even need the tray. The unit seems very well built and is beautiful to look at. As for noise, its not quiet but not obnoxiously loud. The speed took me by surprise and I felt it was very fast when printing 4x6. All in all, this appears to be a high-quality printer. One point I want to stress is that this is strictly a "photo" printer and not just a color printer. I wouldn't recommend purchasing this for an office where color charts and graphs are printed, unless you want them to look photo-quality. If you do, you're going to have to stock it with expensive photo paper.
