High speed, low running costs

Lack of flash media slots

The IP8500 prints photos very quickly, has a duplexer, and has cheaper-than-averages ink and paper costs. However, its limited direct-print features make it best suited for use hooked up to a PC.

The Pixma iP 8500 is intended for printing digital photographs and at this it is supremely good. Whether printing on A4, 10 x 15 or on CDs, photos come out superbly natural and detailed. It’s also quick when printing photos, but don’t duplex plain...

Fast ; Full duplex printing ; Great color ; Updated design looks cool and protects the printer when it's not in use ; Quiet

No option for fine-art papers ; No FireWire port ; Dye-based inks lack long-range archival permanence ; Black-and-white prints have a sepia cast

Prints photos quickly and has a duplexer; ink and paper costs are below average. Direct-print features are limited.

Rich colours, Good profiles, Built-in CD tray, Dual paper trays, Wide gamut

Lightfast issues

Superb colour quality, luxuriant glossy media and every feature you could want

Outlook: With the PIXMA iP8500, serious home printing enthusiasts can now more rapidly print out lab-quality images. Canon has also paid attention to the design, and although you wouldn't probably want to put it in your lounge as they claim you could,...

The iP8500 produces borderless prints that match photolab quality. We are still amazed at what a $600 printer can do. But

Eight ink cartridges produce excellent picture quality, but at what a cost! Each cartridge costs $25 to replace and their ink capacity is miniscule. We didn’t run a page per cartidge test, but assuming that it is not different from the Canon i9100 the...

The PIXMA comes with software for duplex (double-sided) printing, photo album creation, photo improvement (removing red eye and smoothing skin) and panorama stitching as well as for creating CD/DVD labels. Highly recommended.
