 - Do Not Buy This Printer!I would HIGHLY recommend buying another printer than this piece of s&#*. It worked fine for the first few weeks, then it suddenly kept coming up with an error message that cannot be bypassed. The Canon tech support was not helpful in the least, and I ended up having to buy a whole new set of ink cartridges. Very disappointed with this product and Canon in general. Rating:  - For the money, you can't go wrong...I own this printer and have had it for almost two years with no problems. Others that I have given prints to are very impressed with the quality so it's not just me that thinks so. As far as finding ink cartridges, no, they're not in every store, but I haven't had any difficulty finding them either. When I bought it I paid more than the current price and I'm still not sorry I did. All in all, it performs admirably for a printer in this price range... Rating:  - Nice Print Quality But Awful ConstructionI've had this for about 2 years now. Print quality is excellent. Chassis of printer is flimsy. Paper sheet feeder not designed well as it allows the paper to shift sideways when being pulled in which makes the printing on the page crooked at times. Also, got an Error 5100 which could not be cleared even though I did everything recommended by the service manual to fix the problem. Printer is now dead. Check out a cheap color laser instead. Rating: - Print Quality Is MediocreI received this iP 6600D printer about a week ago to replace my malfunctioning Canon i9900, and I am very disapointed. The print quality on the i9900 was excellent, but the print quality of the 6600D is mediocre at best. Specifically, the colors are really washed out, particularly the reds, but all are to some extent. The colors are also not as true to life as they should be. For example, the mountains in a photo I used for comparison purposes looked too blue rather than as green as they should have been. The quality is also inferior to some prints I obtained from a drugstore photo printer. Before you buy this photo printer (or any photoprinter, really) you should have some digital photo examples printed on photo paper and compare them to the same photos printed on the printer you are considering. It really sucks working to take good photos and then knowing the quality of the resulting photos in your photo album will be less than they should be. Rating: - Still working after 20 monthsThis is a 'late' review but I was interested in seeing if there was a 'better' Canon printer out there since I bought this one in March of 2006. There doesn't seem to be. I normally print from Photoshop and have calibrated both screen and printer to produced unsurpassed color. If you can still find one, this is the printer to buy. Mine originally cost $199 or $299 but Canon has a 'list' price of $99.99 - if you can get one that cheap, it's a steal!
