Canon i960 Ink Cartridges

There are no two ways about it, the Canon i960 is a photo printer, designed specifically to deliver the most vivid digital images possible from the privacy of a home. This inkjet printer is equipped with over 3,000 nozzles that carefully and articulately eject miniscule dots of printer ink to formulate sharp colors and accurate details. In fact, approximately 5.7 million droplets of Canon i960 ink are applied per square inch, creating beautiful photographs that will last a lifetime. It is also very compact, and the included software can help users enhance images very easily.

A variety of paper types are supported by the i960, though it is recommended to use special Canon photo paper for optimal quality. Users can print on envelopes, transparencies, labels, matte paper, and glossy paper, expanding the number of creative tasks this unit can perform. The input tray holds about 150 sheets of standard paper and there is another tray specifically designated for loading photo paper.

One of the reasons this printer is among the best for photo quality is the two additional Canon i960 ink cartridges that accompany the standard cyan, magenta, yellow, and black printer ink found in most color printers. The photo cyan and photo magenta supplies help to fill in color detail and sharpen the photo so it accurately reflects the digital image. All six Canon i960 ink cartridges have the capacity to yield up to 420 pages. Some reviews about this unit have indicated that it eats ink quickly and is expensive to maintain, however, compatible Canon i960 ink is sold by third-party vendors at a reduced price.

With a maximum resolution of 4800x1200 dpi, it is impressive that a 4x6-inch picture can print in less than 40 seconds. Users have the option of printing from a computer via USB connection, or plugging a digital camera directly into the i960's PictBridge port and using the camera menu to complete the job. Though it receives rave reviews in regard to photo quality, this inkjet printer is not considered an ideal machine for printing text documents, which is one reason why it is not intended for an office.

Anyone who is a photo enthusiast or professional photographer should take a close look at the Canon i960. It is affordable, compact, fast, and delivers top-of-the-line picture quality.
