What They're Saying About: The Canon Pixma iP8500

Saturday May 14, 2005
Canon's latest photo printer, the Canon Pixma iP8500, offers eight -- count 'em, eight -- separate ink cartridges for photo printing that the reviewers went nuts about. I was personally struck by the fact that the printer also includes, for no extra charge, an automatic duplexer, which lets you print on both sides of a page and can save you a great deal of time, especially when you're doing a lot of business printing.

The only real negative (besides one reviewer who didn't particularly like the look of the printer) was the surprising fact that the iP8500 doesn't come with a slot for media cartridges.

Interested? I've rounded up a bunch of reviews in the latest in the "What They're Saying About..." series. Enjoy.
