Canon iP3000 Ink PIXMA iP3000 Ink Cartridges

Perfect as a personal printer at home, the Canon PIXMA iP3000 specializes in color photo printing, though it is capable of creating standard black-and-white documents with laser-quality text. This single-purpose inkjet device offers impressive speed and quality matched with affordability and useful features such as automatic duplexing. It also has an alert system for identifying when Canon iP3000 ink is running low.

Weighing only 11 pounds, the iP3000 will be simple to carry and to set up. It should be quite easy to find a place to put it, too, considering it has a compact footprint of only about 16x11 inches, with a height of 7 inches. In the box, almost all of the bare necessities are provided, including a set of Canon iP3000 ink cartridges, setup instructions, user's guide, and even a sample pack of special photo paper. A USB cable is not provided, which is unfortunate as it is the primary interface.

When only using black PIXMA iP3000 printer ink, the maximum resolution is 600x600 dpi. Color documents can reach a much higher quality, maxing out at 4800x1200 dpi. Taking into consideration the excellent quality, it is surprising how quickly documents can be produced. Black-and-white documents can be printed at a rate of 22 pages per minute while documents with color are produced at up to 15 pages per minute. A 4x6-inch color photo can be generated in as little as 36 seconds.

A black PIXMA iP3000 ink cartridge can yield up to 750 pages, but the cyan, magenta, and yellow printer ink will only produce about 420 pages before expiring. Replacements are readily available from a number of vendors online and are affordable. For users with a tight budget, though, remanufactured Canon iP3000 ink can be purchased through third-party suppliers.

The major operating systems, Windows and Mac, are both compatible with this inkjet printer. A USB port is the prime connectivity option, but users can also printer photos directly from a camera via the PictBridge port. The input paper capacity is about 300 sheets and the varieties of media types that can be used include photo paper, glossy paper, and envelopes.

Creating professional-quality photographs right at home has never been easier. The Canon PIXMA iP3000 will be a perfect fit for a family that wants to print their memories. It is affordable, reliable, and an overall good purchase.
