Canon Pixma MP560 Review

Professional Photo Printer: Canon Pixma MP560

Just a few years ago, having a professional photo printer in your home was considered a luxury more that anything. However, with the advancement of technology and affordable prices consumers are realizing the ever increasing benefits of on demand printing. When you have a photo printer, you are able to generate professional quality pictures of your favorite photographs at a moments notice, and also able to generate multiple copies of those captured memories at a fraction of the cost. In turn, those memories are shared with loved ones, without feeling the sting of a trip to the local Wal-Mart or CVS for you pictures to be processed.

The Need For A Professional Photo Printer

The idea of purchasing one of those professional printers such as the ones commonly used in regular studios is not only intimidating, it would also be highly costly. That’s the reasoning behind so many amateur shutterbugs preference for more compact units that are more suited for home usage. There are a good number of common and obscure brands of printers out there, however if you prefer to stay with a manufacturer with a proven track record and long running history of quality then there’s no better choice than the Canon PIXMA MP560.

Canon is known worldwide for their innovation in design, and their quality standards are second to none. Canon printers are known for producing consistent high quality results every time. There’s no doubt that the Canon PIXMA MP560 will stand tall, and as always, exceed the standards set in the industry.

Canon Pixma MP560 Features

Pound for pound, tipping the scales at a minuscule 24 pounds, the PIXMA MP560 is relative light and so compact that it fits comfortably into even the tightest of home offices. Plus, it’s also small enough to take with you on vacation or business trips and the steam lined black and silver coloring add a modern flair that fits with any décor.

With guaranteed vivid results thanks to the incorporation of inkjet technologies as high as 9600X2400 dpi, this unit renders painstakingly perfect photos every time. Capable of printing on any paper type, it easily handles chores as large as 8.5” X 11” right down to wallets without compromising the end quality of your work. Additionally the MP560 has an automatic dual-side printing option that has the potential to reduce your stock consumptions by half.

It doesn’t matter which operating system your computer runs, Mac or Windows, or Linux – the Canon PIXMA MP560 is up to the task, but for those without a home PC, this unit isn’t dependent on a computer – It can an gather data directly from your own portable media such as flash drives and memory cards simply by inserting them into one of the on board readers or ports. Another great feature is by making use of the Blue tooth adapters or PictBridge which allow a direct link and transfer from your camera straight to the printer.

Equipped with an auto correct feature the Canon PIXMA MP560 can correct and enhance your photos for you, and in turn improving on the quality of each shot with the push of a button, without the aid of a computer. Though there are some customers that prefer the use of other means, such as editing suites like Photoshop .

With all that being said, don’t think just because you don’t  print enough of your own photographs that you’re not ready for a professional photo printer like the MP560?

Just keep reading because we saved the best feature for last. The PIXMA MP560 has yet more added features; it’s not just a professional photo printer! It’s also a scanner, printer AND copier too, making it an all around perfect fit both at work and home.

Epson Workforce 1100 Color Inkjet Wide Format Printer

Epson Workforce 1100 Review

If you’ve wanted a printer that could handle tabloid size (11- by 17-inch) paper or larger but didn’t think you could justify the high price, the Epson WorkForce 1100 was made for you. Just $199.99 direct from Epson, it’s the least expensive tabloid-size printer I’ve seen yet. Even better, its printing talents don’t stop at tabloid size. It also prints on supertabloid paper at up to 13 by 19 inches and on banner paper at up to 13 by 44 inches. And it doesn’t hurt at all that the output quality is above par for text, graphics, and photos.

As you might expect from an inexpensive tabloid-size printer, the 1100 doesn’t offer a lot of extras. You won’t find any photocentric features like printing from memory cards, cameras, or USB memory keys, and it’s even a short on office-centric features.

Aside from the ability to print on large-size paper, the 1100′s paper handling is meager at best, with only one tray, a 100-sheet input capacity, no duplexer (for printing on both sides of a page), and no available options. It’s also limited to connecting by USB cable, which means it’s not a good choice if you need to share a printer.

Given the low paper capacity and lack of any network connector, the natural home for the WorkForce 1100 is in a micro or home office, although it could also serve as a personal printer in a larger office. It’s worth mention too that even though it’s intended as an office printer, the graphics and photo quality is good enough so that you might want to consider it as an inexpensive printer for graphic arts or photography at tabloid size and larger.

Epson R2880 Large Format Photo Printer Review

Epson R2880 Large Format Printer Review

Why just go large when you can go wide as well? The Epson R2880′s standout feature is that it comes complete with a paper roll feeder, which attaches to the printer for creating large format panoramic pictures.

Indeed, stitch enough photos together in a program such as recent editions of Photoshop Elements, and the Epson can produce a single print that’s an astonishing 11 metres long, with a height of 329mm.

Even sticking to the still generous constraints of regular A3+ printing, with 483 x 329mm (19 x 13-inch) output, the R2880 has plenty to offer, especially for fans of film noir.

Beneath the fairly bland and boxy exterior of the R2880 lies a heart of vivid magenta. At least, ‘vivid magenta’ is one of the colours that makes up the range of eight Epson UltraChrome K3 pigment-based inks, designed with professional photographers in mind.

On closer inspection, you’ll find that three of the inks are given over to black, or rather various shades of grey, including Photo Black, Light Black and Light Light Black.

This Epson professional photo printer always delivers professional performance with its one-inch wide, permanent print head. And, for more consistent printing, it includes Automatic Nozzle Check technology, plus Epson Precise Color.  Achieve professional results, with the quality, control and versatility of the Epson R2880 photo printer.
