Canon FINE technology ejects consistent, precise ink droplets. | FINE Technology
What's the key to the iP1600's impressive performance? Canon Full-photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering (FINE) uses an innovative print head with 1,472 nozzles that eject consistent, precise ink droplets as small as two picoliters. It's a simple formula: more nozzles with higher accuracy equal amazing results. This patented technology produces an outstanding color resolution of up to 4800 by 1200 color dots per inch (dpi), and 600 by 600 black dpi, for exceptional detail and photo-realism. At the same time, the Canon ChromaLife100 system, combined with the iP1600's FINE print head technology, newly developed inks, and select Canon photo papers, yield long lasting photos that will retain their beauty up to 100 years when stored in an archival quality photo album. Sharp, Clear Photos and Graphics
To further enhance printing quality, the PIXMA iP1600 Photo Printer uses high-intensity ChromaLife100 color inks for sharp, clear photos and graphics. Plus, its special pigment black ink delivers laser-like text, as well as a higher resistance to smudging when you're handling or highlighting a printed document. When it comes to speed, the iP1600 is equally impressive; it produces a 4 x 6 inch photo lab quality borderless photo in approximately 70 seconds. Print speeds range up to 19 pages per minute (ppm) for monochrome and 16 ppm for color. This machine is also versatile, and lets you print on a wide range of materials. Rather than limiting you to just standard photo-sized paper, the iP1600 can handle sizes from credit card to legal size, plus envelopes, in a wide variety of weights and finishes. Canon Software Makes Customization Easy
The iP1600 comes with software to help you customize your prints so you get the exact results you want. Easy-WebPrint software enables Windows users to properly print web pages in full color and without losing information off the right edge. For added convenience, Easy-PhotoPrint version 3.3 software delivers professional looking digital photos in 4 x 6 inch, 5 x 7 inch and 8.5 x 11, perfect sizes for framing and sending to family and friends. Together, these Canon applications give you the high-quality results you expect without having to worry about complicated or confusing instructions. With the iP1600 it's always a snap to produce brilliant, edge-to-edge borderless photos. Compatability and Connectivity
The iP1600 is designed to integrate seamlessly with your current network. With its straightforward USB port, connecting the printer to your computer is quick and easy; the iP1600 is also compatible with both Windows and Macintosh operating systems. The iP1600 comes with a one-year limited warranty covering parts and labor.

 The Little Printer That Could December 31, 2005

This is NOT a fancy printer.
There's no tray for catching paper at the front.
There's no card slots, no camera-to-USB interface, no cute l'il monitor, no fancy wheels, no on-screen menu.
No whistles, no bells.
What it is is the guts of evey other Canon Pixma in a pared-down chassis.
That means amazing color printing, absolutely GORGEOUS.
It means software that'll walk you through duplex (two-sided) printing.
That means easy installation.
You get prints as good as a more expensive Pixma printer, but for about $50.
If you want great color and great printing at a bare-bones price, this is an awesome little printer.

I've always owned fairly advanced photo printers ever since HP introduced their first PhotoSmart. But these days you can slap together a photo album on your computer and send it out to be perfect bound for a very reasonable price. Who wants to print individual photos and build old-fashioned albums when you have this available? I found that I sure didn't. I just need a printer to spit out maps and a few contact sheets or 4x6 prints a month.
Don't let the price fool you. The output looks great. It's a little slow and loud compared to an expensive printer but it seems solid enough. Also, keep in mind that there's no output tray. Bad if you are used to leaving things in that tray but great if you value your desk space like I do.
If you print a lot of photos you'll want to look at something else. Mainly for more speed. But if you're sending most of your photos out and just need something simple for your house this is a good choice.
Linux/Darwin users: It appears there are no CUPS or GIMP Print drivers for this printer. OSX uses a driver that only works over USB. EDIT: it's working over Bonjour just fine now.
Low-cost printer with great print quality March 19, 2006

My Epson printer stopped working and I promptly placed it in the trash. I struggled for years with clogged print heads on that thing, so I was actually glad to shop for a new (non-Epson) printer.
I read through many reviews here on Amazon and was surprised at the number of Canon printers with positive reviews. I debated between the MP500 and this printer, the PIXMA iP1600. However, I was skeptical of the print quaility. Can such a low-priced printer deliver sharp pictures and text? I didn't believe it, so I went to my local electronics store and asked for some sample prints. The "high quality" black text print on regular paper was so sharp it looked like a laser printed document. A photo printed on glossy photo paper looked remarkable as well. The colors were beautiful and the pixellation was minimal. I picked one up right away (because I'm usually not home to receive UPS shipments), but the price on Amazon was about $6 less.
I decided against a multi-function machine because I'm an "occasional printer". I have a fax machine and copier at work. I use my printer about twice a week, mainly printing on-line directions, a few pages from e-mails, word documents, photoshop sketches, and address labels.
Cost of the refills was an issue as well. To me, it doesn't make sense to buy a printer for $50, then to pay more than that for the refills. I plan on buying a DIY refill kit, since generic refill cartridges are not available for this printer yet. From my on-line research, the DIY kits which contain ink specifically formulated for this printer are about $15 and contain enough for many refills. They come with a simple hand-powered device that you use to drill a little hole on the top of the cartridge. Then, you use a syringe to squirt the ink inside and seal the hole with a piece of tape. Doesn't sound too difficult. =)
Set-up was also very easy. The directions are straight-forward and worked perfectly on my Windows XP system. I had the whole thing running in about 15 minutes. I performed some test runs and the regular printing speed was fairly quick. The high quality print speed was much slower, but the text was crisper. Also, as other people mentioned, the color balance does tend to run toward yellow/magenta. You can actually correct for this right before you print in the printer utility. The noise level isn't bad either and it usually sits quietly when not printing.
I'm very satisfied with my purchase, considering that it was only $50, it provides great "bang for the buck".

I was looking for a basic printer for occasional printing. This printer was the right price ($30) and is pretty good quality. I'm not printing photos, but only word documents and internet pages. If you are looking for a basic printer for occasional printing this one will be a good buy.
