Printer for a Canon 50D camera: What is the best home printer to take advantage of the 15MP camera?

I finally bit the bullet & purchased the Canon Pixma Pro 9500. It's a little spendy, but if your budget allows it's a good choice. Myself I invested in a New Desktop & display, because all I've been using is a 15 inch Macbook Pro, & I wanted to actually do justice to the amazing images I get with the 50D.

Yes. I use a Canon ink jet printer now, but I'd always used HPs before that. :)

i'm a proffesional photographer and send most of my order out to print. however, i do print some stuff at home. i currently use a small, handy canon ip4600. i'm thinking of purchasing an all in one - fax, printer, and copier, was recommended an epson artisan 835. i'm hesitant to switch a canon for an epson. any knowledge out there?

You will have to get a bluetooth adapter that fits in a socket in the front of the printer. I don't think you have to get the Canon brand however.

I don't think anyone can answer this for you. What do you intend to do with the printer. Do you want multifunction? Will you be printing a few sheets or a great many? Will you be printing a lot of photos?, etc. Decide what you want the printer to do, read the reviews of the many printers on Amazon. If you narrow your choices to a few, maybe someone can help you decide which of them is the best value.

According to Cannon the printer will choose to print photos CMYK mode. That is the best I can do since I am not an expert.

Quite honestly, I have not been able to print photos for anything. Even with Canon's help I have not been able to get this printer to work.

If you mainly print in black text, buy yourself a small Samsung or similar LASER printer. They cost around $60 and will print much faster and much cheaper than an ink-jet printer. The LASER per-page cost for text is about 1/10th to 1/20th of an ink-jet. One toner cartridge is good for 1000 or more pages. The Canon excels in the printing of color photographs or greeting cards. Running out of color and continuing to print may damage the printer. Another option is a Brother All-in-One LASER printer that also scans. It only prints in black or shades of grey, but scans color images. You should be able to find one for under $120 that would make a great partner to your iX6520 printer.

My Canon PIXMA does an excellent job of printing all size prints including 8X10. Just make sure you program both the printer and your computer for the proper size.

I use regular 8 1/2 x 11 office paper and print mostly text and have never used photo paper. I know it will cost you more but stick with the Canon ink cartridges and you should have no compatibility problems. The printer is compact and I have had no problems with my Canon iP 1800

I use Paperport which came with the printer. It works great, and it is easy to use.

That should work well-- it's the shiny side you want. I have same printer and paper, and my prints are outstanding. Are you printing from Photoshop? I just noticed that I always select Standard by default-- but choosing photo shouldn't make any real difference like you describe.

I have not decided as I have not heard anything to aid me. But I do have a flatbed Canon scanner that has served me well, and a Canon bubblejet printer that keeps on chugging, so am leaning to Canon.

I replaced it with a Canon Pixma MX410. It does everything this one does (and more), plus it's wireless, so I can have it in a different room than my computer.

I used this printer last semester in a photography class. The lab at the University of New Mexico used Epson 3880 printers. My prints both color and B&W were equal to the Epson prints. The Canon Pixma Pro-100 is a very good printer and with the rebates, it is the best bang for your printer buck.

This is an awesome printer. I've printed 15,000 pictures with no problem. I buy the consumables here on Amazon.
