Product Review: Canon IP6600D Photo Printer

The Canon Pixma IP6600D Photo Printer is a great printer. I recommend it highly to anyone. The photo printing is excellent. I like being able to put my media stick right into the computer or print directly from a usb hooked up to my camera! The print quality is very high for other types of printing, such as for resumes and color pages. The printer is versatile, with, for instance, two different paper feed sources. A window on the printer shows the photo about to be printed. There are six ink tanks, preserving ink of each color, and changing the ink is simple.

Works with WIndows Vista on a Dell Computer
Before I even start ranting about how great this printer is, I have to mention the coolest feature it has to offer. It works with Windows Vista on my new Dell Computer. I don't know if anyone else out there has experienced any problems with Windows Vista, but I sure did. My other older printer, a Hewlett Packard printer scanner copier 500, does not seem to work with Windows Vista. The Hewlett Packard website says it does, but so far, no one, including most of the Dell computer experts, has been able to solve this problem. HP was going to charge me $35 an hour to find out the answer because my warranty has expired!

Photo Printing
This is a photo printer, specifically. I am very happy with its photo printing. I love all the options available! One reason I chose this printer was because you can put in 4 x 6 photo paper or regular letter size paper. Then, the photos you make can be 4 x 6, 5 x 7, credit card size, or letter size 8 1/2 by 11. Additionally, you can change the media type setting for glossy, matte paper, or even sticker paper to make photo stickers. Bordered or borderless photo printing is available. On the printer itself and through the use of the computer it is hooked up to, you are able to adjust the picture image before printing, such as the image contrast, image brightness, and color hue. Red eye reduction is included as an option. This printer even prints a color photo in black and white or sepia!
