Can get the Pixma 5000 for $169.00 at Staples. The Pixma 4000 is
holding at $149.00. Is the 1 picoliter difference going to be
discernable at the largest print size on both printers? Is the 5000
a better made printer overall and is the $20 dollar price
difference make this printer (5000) a steal? Any thoughts?
Thanks

Would it be better to get an i960 while they are still available?Depneds on what you plan to print, based on what I've read the 4000
replaces the i860, and the 5000 replaces the i960, although it's
only 4 color and not 6 like the i960. I have the 5000, and love
the results, blows away the i860 i have, slightly better than my
s9000, but not as good as the epson 2200 except for glossy. Given
the price, I'd go with the 5000

Which Canon printer would you recommend given the $100 Visa card "rebate" I can get with the purchase of a Canon printer and the 20D I just picked up (other than the i960 for which there is no rebate)? I note from some of your other posts you have/had an ip4000. Would the ip8500 be a good solution, or is the "red" issue still a potential problem? Although the i960 can be had for less than $100, the $100 Canon/Visa deal is hard to pass up, especially if I look at Pixma printers that are positioned below the ip8500.Would it be better to get an i960 while they are still available?
I don't believe that review. Don't see why the photo quality on the ip4000 should be better, considering that the two seem to be technically identical apart from a slight advantage to the 5000 due to the smaller droplet size.For what it's worth, the PC Magazine review (Nov. 2004) says the
ip5000 does better text and graphics than the ip4000, but actually
worse on photos, citing posterization and a tint in monochrome
prints.

Aside from print quality, the archival issues with Canon ink may
have me looking elsewhere in any event (possibly Epson, possibly a
non-inkjet).
