I buy printers to support users in our workplace, and have been using the Canon PIXMA series (like the iP4500) for quite a while due to the lower ink costs compared to HPs. Overall the Canons have been great.

I'm also interested in the Kodaks, but haven't tried them yet. What I heard was that they CONSUMED a lot less ink than the others. Bottom line is Kodak claims lower per-page costs.

Interesting an iMac is being bundled with a Pixma on ? website for good price. Anyway I take lots of pics and unless I want to spend even at 15 pfennig per, 1k of pics will cost $150 de-valuaed greenbacks to find I like 10?...Or check out on monitor and decide and put on media to have lab or print at home unless need quality enlargement and if it's 3 am I can :blah::blah::blah: Only place I've seen Kodak printers was for sale around the Christian holiday of Christmas on a television shop deal. Kodak has been hurting since the shift from film to digital. Maybe the new low use etc printers have other bugs?

I only saw the Kodaks advertised then also. I will note that if you use the Canon with an "archival" photo paper the inks remain very stable like a chemical print. A friend of mine prefers NCR paper, but it's hard to find. I will say the redering from the Canon photo inks is very impressive. The photographers I know who are extremely picky all use a high-end Epson stylus model though - it's NOT the normally seen consumer models - about $1000 and requires a proper calibration to render true colors.

We've purchased lots of the Pixmas (100s), with very few problems, and reasonable ink costs.
