Canon PIXMA iP8500 Review
Canon brings you the PIXMA iP8500 8-color printer that delivers rich, true-life photos. Photographers find satisfaction when the printer reasonably dishes out life-like images. It is a robust, unique system that comes with a full-range of features designed to meet demanding requests of its users. The PIXMA iP8500 is a focused photograph printer that is simple to operate and steadfast.
The printer is featured as the Editor's Choice on CNET.com. Released on October 15, 2004; the printer has received many positive reviews from the past and current users. Understandably, its positive reviews are attributed to its faster-than-average speeds with decent resolution. It prints 16 pages per minute in Black and 12 pages per minute in Color. This roughly adds up to 3.8 seconds per page in Black and 5 seconds per page in Color. Printing, a borderless 4 x 6 photo, take approximately 21 seconds. With a decent resolution, that is evenly-balanced at 4800 x 2400 dots per inch in Color and/or Black. The printer utilizes FINE technology, which, stands for Full-photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering. There is a total of 6,144 nozzles. Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black, Photo Cyan, Photo Magenta, Red, and Green utilize 8 x 768 nozzles. The ink droplets are as small as 2 picoliters. FINE technology, developed by Canon, works to provide accurate image-quality by reducing ink droplets and increasing ink application speeds. To get a better understanding of how FINE technologies support image-quality, it is important to understand its ink-application. Generally, the smaller the ink-droplets are; the likeliness the droplets can be disturbed by environmental changes. The print-heads move quickly from left-to-right and right-to-left when working on printing images. If you ever watch the print-heads move, you understand they move quite quickly and suddenly. The quick movements can tend to disrupt the ink-application and blotch the ink-application. FINE technology attempts to avoid the disruption by increasing the ink-application speeds with high-precision.
The PIXMA iP8500 works will all modern systems and older versions of Windows-based operating systems. Its network interface consists of a Direct Print port and 2.0 USB High-Speed port. End-users who use this printer with their computer should be pleased with the 80 Kilo Bytes of Buffer RAM. If users are multitasking, the buffer should take the load off the main computer by directing the printer data to its buffer. What this means, is computer users will not be experiencing the dreaded lags in the computer data stream. The printer offers peace of mind as you work uninterrupted on computer while the printer works in the background. Concerning its size at 17.8 inches in width, 6.7 inches in height, 11.5 inches depth, and 15.4 pounds; the printer is quite compact for most users and should be easily movable. Expert editors and reviews from owners of the printer state that its most valued aspects are the duplex printing capabilities, color gamut, simplicity, swiftness, and Mac OS compatibility. The basic paper-sizes appropriate for the Canon PIXMA iP8500 series are Credit Card (wallet-sized) 2.13 x 3.39, Legal, Letter, U.S. #10 Envelopes, 5 x 7, and 4 x 6.
Apparently, there are no memory card slots for individuals who do not have PictBridge capabilities on their devices. The printer's lack of memory card slots limit its range in being universally compatible. Standard networking for the printer does not have support. Some colors can be, in some instances, too vivid. The printer can be demanding in ink consumption. How often one has to replace, the cartridges, depend on how much printing they are involved in and the average complexity of their documents. The majority of owners of this printer has, for the most part, nothing but positive things to say about the printer. The lack of memory cards alone deserves the printer a 4-star rating, rather than 5-star. |
