New Printer

On Monday I bought a new printer. Everytime I want to buy some alectronic equipment I spend several hours reading reviews and comparing several choises. Since I moved to my current appartement, the only brand that dissappointed me is Electrolux from which we bouht the fridge and microwave. Those were our first on-line purchases and I chose them just because my favourite shop had them on sale. After a couple of years I can see that every minute you spend reading reviews and comparisons is a well spent one. This time I chose a printer from Canon, namely a Pixma IP4000. This printer looks awesome, has every feature one can imagine, including duplex printing and CD imprint, makes excellent pictures, is quite cheap and its cartridges can be easily refilled. Since early May it even has official Linux drivers, which the Japanese Canon developers put online, so there is no reason to by another printer. The main feature for a home printer is for me the economy of printing. This is something one can't judge for himself, but Toms' Hardware put together several printers and Canon won hands down - with original cartridges. So far, I didn't regret a single minute for buying this jewel. The only thing I discovered since buying it is the fact, that I don't have a single picture of myself that would be worth printing.
