| david220's Full Review: Canon i 9100 Inkjet Printer |
I purchased this printer primarily because of its 11x17 capabilities and individual ink tanks. I am an architect and was looking for a printer that could handle 11x17 for producing half-size CAD plots. This machine handles this task authoritatively and is a great alternative to our 36" wide plotter. Line drawings are crisp, speed is within reason, and the printer has been fully compatible with AutoCAD software.
Digital photo prints have been decent (for an inkjet printer), especially on high grade photo paper. The bundled software is actually useful for managing and printing photos.
Finally, I am totally impressed with Canon's ink jet cartridge system. Using a separate ink reservoir and print head system, changing ink cartridges involves simply changing the ink reservoir, not the entire print head. In addition, this printer has 6 individual cartridges, when the black or cyan runs out; simply change that color, not the entire cartridge. Canon's print monitor keeps close tabs on individual reservoir levels and warns you when tanks are getting low. BEST OF ALL, since you are changing only the ink tank, you can use after-market ink manufacturers and save lots of money. Last time I checked, after market ink tanks could be found for about $4 versus $12 for Canon.
This is an excellent printer especially if you have the need for 11x17 capabilities. Great product Canon!
