The Canon iP3000 is armed with FINE technology to deliver high quality output. During printing, ink droplets as tiny as two picoliters each are applied onto the sheet at a level of speed that used to be considered impressive.

Similarly attractive are the paper handling system, duplex printing, and PictBridge support. That last mentioned feature would probably arouse suspicion that the printer is good at printing photos only, but it’s not. Its text quality is as good as its photo quality.

Features and Highlights

For anyone who often need to print photos, one of the features that makes a printer looks compelling is PictBridge. Most printers can print photos just fine without including the feature, but it is a handy one to have for quick printing. All you need is a compatible digital camera and USB cable to take advantage of the technology.

The PictBridge port for connecting a camera can be found on the front of the Canon iP3000. Another USB port is located on its back which is used to connect the printer to a computer running on a compatible operating system. Unfortunately, it ships without the cable required to establish the connection, so users have to look for one themselves. This means the purchase price doesn’t completely represent the total upfront cost that one has to bear should he or she decides to buy the printer.

Unlike the iP4000, which is also a photo printer, the Canon iP3000 doesn’t come with a pigment black ink, so it is not surprising to find that its output quality is slightly less decent. But, it is still very good. In fact, the difference in quality produced by both printers is probably noticeable only to a trained eye.

The ink container in the Canon iP3000 contains four color inks stored in four ink cartridges. There is no tri-color cartridge, which may be a good news to some customers as they will never have to waste a whole cartridge due to a color that runs out faster than the rest.

Also interesting is that the Canon iP3000 has an extra tray to load another stack of sheets. So, in addition to the main tray, there is a secondary one. This means the printer can hold more paper. Both trays share the same capacity. 150 sheets for the one on the top, and another 150 sheets for the one at the base. It’s three hundred sheets in total, unless you load paper of different sizes or types. Switching between the paper trays is as easy as touching a button.

Everyone who needs a printer certainly wants one that is as fast as their money can get. This iP3000 is one of the solutions that Canon provides for consumers on budget, and its speed is worth the money.

The two-way paper feeding system is also quite an attractive feature. Swapping paper is easy, but it does take time. This system allows users to be more productive at work. You can click the link below to download Canon iP3000 Driver for Windows:
