ChromaLife100 For Image Permanence
The iP1700 uses Canon's ChromaLife100 system, including FINE print head technology, for eye-popping, high-quality photo printing. When you use select genuine Canon photo papers and inks, prints can resist fading for up to 100 years when stored in an archival quality photo album. The 100-year-lifespan rivals that of many traditional film based photos, long considered by consumers to be the benchmark for image permanence. Prints produced on Canon Photo Paper Pro with ChromaLife100 inks also have an up to 10-year gas fastness when exposed to open air. In addition, ChromaLife100 prints, when created using Canon Photo Paper Pro or Photo Paper Plus Glossy, have up to 30-year light fastness when displayed under glass.

Launched globally by Canon in 1999, the Canon Full-photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering (FINE) advanced print head technology is one of the keys to the impressive speed and high photo quality of the iP1700. FINE technology uses a ground-breaking high-performance, multi-nozzle print engine that ejects consistent and microscopic ink droplets. You can also take advantage of Canon's software packages to help edit and customize your prints. Easy Photo Print 3.5 software makes it simple to enhance and print amazing digital photos through your computer while Easy Web Print software gives Windows users the tools to properly print Web pages in full color without trimming off the right hand margin. The results are high-resolution photos and documents with sharp detail and clarity in less time.

The iP1700 comes with a one-year limited warranty.

5 out of 5 stars Best yet   September 7, 2007

This little printer is oddly the best printer I've ever had. Mainly because it's still working, it never fails to print. I've been using it steadily for three years and have yet to have a single issue with it. I'm no longer terrified about printing close to a deadline, or feeding the paper by hand, or jams. It just prints. And perfectly.


4 out of 5 stars Excellent value for the price   July 13, 2007

My Epson died after only 1 year. Love this Canon.
Pros: PRICE, PRICE, PRICE, ease of set-up and use, quite good print quality.
Cons: printouts fall onto floor (no tray), print quality a little washed out (compensate by setting intensity higher, then looks excellent).
I had no trouble locating inktanks, and they weren't any more expensive than the ones for my Epson.



5 out of 5 stars Good starter photo printer   June 10, 2007

I've owned a number of higher end consumer and low-end pro inkjet printers over the years. While I was a little skeptical of the quality that could be produced with a 4-color inkjet in times when there are 5 & 6 color printers, I was pleasantly surprised.

Make no mistake, this is an inexpensive printer. It probably won't hold up to lots of use, but it's not intended (or priced) for that use. For the average person, I think it's a great choice for general color printing and photo printing.

It's quick and the color are good. It does surprisingly well on plain paper. Technologically, it's at the cheap end of Canon's new line of printers that use the FINE inks which are designed to give exceptionally long lifespans compared to the currently available inks. It sounds good at least, but I haven't had it long enough to know how it compares to anything else.

One caveat -- there appears to be a bug (or perhaps a feature I don't understand well) in the 1.95c driver that will cause the colors to become very subdued when the borderless printing feature is enabled on plain paper. The setting isn't recommended, but not for that reason. Make sure you turn OFF this setting if you're getting light or washed-out print.



4 out of 5 stars Cheap, Cheerful and Colorful   June 8, 2007

Cheap color inkjet. Advantage over the HP equivalents is that the ink appears to last twice as long. Fairly robust and fair quality for the cost. Hey, if it breaks, just get another. You get what you pay for.
