TrustedReviews Looks at the Canon Pixma iP5000 Printer
Posted by Jason Dunn in "ARTICLE" @ 01:00 PM
"If you're after an inkjet printer which does the lot, Canon's new Pixma iP5000 has to be a serious contender. Designed to cope with most home and many home-office tasks, it also boasts the first use of one picolitre (1pl) ink drops, for a very fine gradation of tones in photographic output. Looking something like a large, Chinese lacquer-work box, the Pixma iP5000 is unusually finished in high-gloss, black plastic, with broad silver highlights along all edges. It's a substantial machine for an inkjet, standing slightly higher than a typical desktop PC case and with a similar footprint."
I've had my Canon i950 for a while now, and when I Pixma printers were first announcd I got the upgrade twitch...but it quickly went away when I realized that there were no high-end Pixmas in the product line. No more! The iP5000 and iP8500 are capable of some rather impressive prints - if you're looking for a new photo printer, they're worth a look.
