 Well worth the money November 14, 2004

I had an Epson 785EPX photo printer and when it worked, the prints were beautiful. However, my printer heads were constantly clogging and I wasted tons of ink cleaning the heads all the time. The ink is not cheap. So, I started researching for a new photo printer. I chose the Canon line because they have a reputation for cheaper ink. I found this to be true when I purchased the Canon i250 to replace another Epson ink hog (the 640) for my general printing. (I keep one printer for general printing, one for photos) The Canon ink cartridges ARE cheaper and last longer. After reading reviews on photo printers I decided between the Canon ip4000 and the ip6000d. The ip4000 got amazing reviews both from consumers and magazines. There weren't a lot of reviews on the ip6000d I suppose because it's newer. I decided to risk buying the ip6000d anyways because I really wanted the media input slot for convenience. I'm here to say the photos are AMAZING and of photo lab quality. I tested using the included Canon Photo Paper Pro and also my leftover Epson Premium Photo Glossy Paper. Both papers produced the same results. The printer unpacked and installed easily. For printing without the computer, the menu/LCD screen on the printer is intuitive and easy to use. For printing through the computer, the software program 'Easy Photo-Print' stands by it's name. A couple of mouse clicks and the perfect print came out. If it matters, my digital camera is a Kodak DX6490. There are two things to watch for while setting up your ip6000d for the first time. Both have to do with loading paper into the cassette tray. Make sure you load the paper PRINT SIDE DOWN and watch out for the little plastic thingy that holds the paper in place. Mine broke off and the spring flew off who knows where. It still works but just moves around easily. Since I just got the printer today I can't comment on long term use or ink usage for sure. I've printed about 10 4X6's so far and 3 of the 6 tanks show a very slim line for usage.
Great printer January 16, 2005

After weeks of reading reviews about photo printers, I purchased the Canon ip6000D based on it's high ratings. So far it has been a great printer.
Pro's
easy set up
4x6 photos done in around 30 seconds
great picture quality(i couldn't tell the difference when compared with digital photo's from my drugstore)
Don't need a computer to get pictures from your camera
6 seperate toner cartridges
Transfer of files very quick
Quiet printing
Con's
LCD screen is hard to read if not at the right angle (minor annoyance, but doesn't affect quaility)
Doesn't come with a usb cable
best pictues with canon glossy paper - other paper manufactures
don't provide as good quality
I highly recommend this printer.
** update 1/28 - LCD screen can be fixed by switching the contrast on the printer,which of course was written in the manual!!
 very good printer and customer service, but a few oversights January 2, 2005

Naturally, when you are spending over $150 on a photo printer, you expect an excellent result. This printer delivers. The results when printed on photo paper are indistinguishable from a professionally developed photograph in most instances.
I had some problems getting the printer to work initially; it was dead on arrival. This is where I decided I would discover what kind of company I was dealing with. I called canon and was, within five minutes, being told I would have a new printer overnighted to me. It arrived and worked beautifully.
Not only did it arrive, it came with a fully paid return shipping label and instructions that I could keep all of the extra ink (around $70 worth), the extra print head, the free samples of photo paper that came with the printer etc
I do have four complaints with the printer. First, I have found, that if one is printing extremes of white light on a human face, it tends to print out as a large white splotch rather than a finely graded result. The result looks somewhat like the person was heavily sweating and had a lot of glare; this is my main complaint.
Second, the printer requires a USB cable to connect to your computer but does not have one packaged with it. Radioshack supplied me with one for around five dollars; surely canon could have put one in the box.
Third, I have a dual boot computer that runs on windows and linux. Setting up this printer was easy in windows and the software it comes with makes it a breeze to print pictures on any size paper. However, canon has no linux support. If I had known this beforehand, I might have actually gone with an equivalent Hewlett Packard printer as HP has a lot of linux support.
Fourth, the software it comes with deals only with .jpg files. If you have something in any other format, for example, you have to have a separate program that can convert it into .jpg format. These are easily available over the web, but it seems like a reasonable oversight that canon doesn't support anything else out of the box.
My absolute favourite feature of this printer is the clear ink cartridges: this was what initially made me consider canon above anyone else. The fact that I can see how full the print cartridges are is a wonderfully liberating feature; I can actually SEE what's going on in there. Combined with the fact that each colour is an individual cartridge and very inexpensive, canon have a winning idea here.
In summary, I have to say I am extremely pleased with my purchase. None of the above complaints is anything major, probably the worst is the lack of a USB cable which is easily correctable; I imagine you could order one through amazon so it is delivered simultaneously.
 False Info on the Web and From Canon December 1, 2004

I LOVE Canon printers and feel that they are the best ink jet printers made for many, many reasons. I have owned all brands, and, truthfully, Canons slipped badly for several years, but in the past year they have zoomed again into the lead. The ip6000D is no exception to the quality build and quality results that Canon printers produce. The problem is that I was needing a CD/DVD printer and all the web info, as well as Canon's own publicity for this printer, their pdf file on this printer, and many sites selling this printer all indicate that it does print CDs/DVDs. Thus, I ordered it from Amazon, my favorite web purchase store. When it arrived, I noticed it had no CD tray and there was nothing in the book about printing CDs or DVDs. I called Canon and they said they were not aware of the printer and would do some research. About 5 minutes later the guy came back and said that the printer WITH THE EXACT SAME NAME had CD printing support in ALL countries except the U.S. I told him that having the same name and number system was absurd with different features. He blew me off. So beware, if you want to print CDs or DVDs, this is NOT the printer to get. But for everything else it is the best choice for home or office and especially for photo printing. With Canon printers, you get amazing quality, cheap refills, no clogging, no chips in the refills, and no paper jams. Without the problem I have cited and all my hours on this issue, it would get 5-stars from me as all recent Canons have. The Epsons and HPs are in a second level and the Lexmarks are at the bottom. I have to go with the Epson Stylus R200 for my CD printing, despite the fact that I did not want to go back to Epson. Amazon, as ususal, accepted my return without hesitation and remain THE kick ass company to do business with.
A fine printer July 10, 2005

I have had the printer for over six months now. We use it at work and print a large number of 4 X 6 photos. We are delighted with the photos and with the text printing we have done. And I'm very fond of the dual paper paths, since we can keep the photo paper in the bottom tray with the letter paper in the upper slot. The multiple ink tanks are very economical, reasonably priced and despite being small they go a long way. Sometimes it is hard to see the lcd screen in the area we have the printer, but besides that it is really great to be able to print a fast photo without booting up the computer.
I do have just a few observations about the printer, the paper and the ink.
As I indicated above, the backlighting of the lcd isn't the best, and sometimes it is very hard to see what you are printing. Even changing the angle of the screen doesn't always help. I'm going to be readjusting the task lighting in the area soon. If you are limited in the placement of the printer you may need to do the same.
The printer will start nagging you to change ink cartridges long before you actually need to do it. I think of the first message as really a reminder to buy a new cartridge when you go out. Unless you are printing a photo that is almost all one color or a page that has been almost entirely blacked out, you should have more than enough ink to print a minimum of half a dozen 6 X 4s or a ten page letter.
I don't know which HP paper another user was using but the photo paper we tried wouldn't take the ink at all. The resulting prints where interesting, they ended looking like a matte multicolor paint crackle effect over a black background when they finally dried, But no one would have been able to tell you what the original image was. I would be very careful about the HPphoto paper. Sure try it if you already have it or are given it, but If I was buying it, I'd get the smallest pack possible until you know for sure it will work.
All in all, this is one fine printer, for both text and photos.
