Canon Pixma iP5000

 

The Canon Pixma iP5000 photo printer does photos well enough, but does text and graphics even better.

Fast performance for business applications. Output quality rates as very good. Direct printing from cameras. Duplex printing. Two input paper trays.

No memory card slots. Slower photo speed and slightly lower photo quality than the less-expensive Canon Pixma iP4000.

Excellent

 

I purchased this printer after reading many reviews and have been very impressed. I would recommend this to anyone. Carl's vote is 5 thumbs up !!!!!

Quality is fantastic!!! Photos print as if they were printed professionally! As others have commented the separate ink tanks is great and saves money. Having the option to print on CD's is awesome and really easy to use. Looks great on your desk.

You need to configure how the printer uses the tanks as the default will use all colours for to create black. Paper feeder lid is a bit clunky. Doesn't hold much paper in the feeder tray.

Good

 

Been using this printer since December 2004 and have had no issues at all. Printing a number of photos and have only changed all the ink tanks once in 12-months. Recommended.

Separate ink tanks, 2 x paper input (cassette & sheet feeder), duplex printing, CD/DVD printing option and quality of photo printing.

Nothing really other than the size of the unit.

Bad

 

Believed the hype, disappointed in the result. (Got another printer)

Individual ink tanks. Duplex printing

Really disappointed with the printing of photos. Have been informed that we should be using Canon paper - and fair enough use Canon paper and it's OK. However our 'old' HP Officejet G85 printed photos much better on all media including generic glossy,...

Been using since December 2004. Extremely pleased with operation and results. Have used printers at home for 15 years and this is first to deliver promised results. Being right into photos I agree to use best quality paper you can afford. Has been the...

Perfect for home use. Individual ink tanks,both sides printing, alternate paper feed CD printing

Bit pricey compared to others with lesser results.
