Desktop Computer Review: Canon i560 Desktop Photo Printer Review

I bought this printer back in October of 2003.So far, this Canon has proven itself to be very fast, reliable, and economical.There is an option to use "draft" mode for the purpose of conserving ink.This is a great feature to have if you print a lot of text, like I do.The black ink cartridge is also relatively inexpensive.I bought this particular printer because I print a lot of text.My main criteria was keeping the cost per page as low as possible.I rarely print photos, but the few that I have printed on Canon's paper looked very nice.
I like the design of the printer.You can fold the paper holder in the back forward and it will act as a dust cover to keep the inside of the printer clean.You can also close the front of the printer as an added measure to keep the inside free of dust.The i560 is a little bit more expensive than comparable printers from other brands.However, I believe that the lower cost per page will more than make up for it in the long run.There are individual ink cartridges.And the ink cartridges do not have a smart chip built into them.It might be possible, although I have not tried it, to refill the cartridges yourself if you can find the right ink.However, I think the cost of the ink cartridges for this particular printer is low enough that I would recommend buying only the genuine Canon ink, that way you can eliminate most of the problems that people experience with generic or refilled ink cartridges.I was told that a lot of problems that people have with their ink jets are due to using generic or refilled ink cartridges.
