I am tempted to purchase IP4000 as you described here. Another poster mentined i9900. Do you have any opinion on i9900? I am thinking about buying ip4000 or i9900 this weekend. Your advise would be appreciated. Regards, Satoshi

Certainly nothing you've experienced as you have never used after market inks. You have an ax to grind but nothing to grind it against except this ng. Try grinding it against you head, as it appears to hard enough. Frank

The IP9900 is a wide format printer while the IP4000 is a Letter Size printer. The IP9900 is a pure photo printer using 8 colors. It is widely regarded as the best of its kind. The tests in PC Mag won it editors choice. So if you would like to print large photos up to 13x19 this is the best choice. You still will be able to print an occassional business document and it will look ok. The IP4000 is a member of the PIXMA line. This is a dual purpose photo printer that prints very good business documents and has twin paper feed trays and print duplex ( 2 sides automatically. So if you need these features and print business documents then this should be your choice but you enlargements will be limited to 8.5x11. If your purpose is real heavy on business documents then you might want to look at the IP5000. This printer is like the IP4000 but prints business document using 1pl and is better at business documents and almost as good as the IP4000 for photos. The IP9000 will clearly provide you with the best quality results.
