Newbe needs advice on new printers please..... Points:70
marcant (beth)    Rank: ¡ø

   I'm the family 'photographer', I don't sell anything but when a family member needs pictures they come to me.  I had a HP 2000C for 'general' printing and my Canon S800 for photographs.  I do a lot of old photo restoration (for the family) as well.  My HP just 'retired' and I was thinking of the Canon i9900.  I am concerned however, that as soon as I buy it, a new model will come out next week.  I have been doing my homework and know how long the i9900 has been out and thats why I'm worried.   Does anyone know anything about new Canon models or, perhaps a web site that tells whats coming out?  My homework included reading tons of stuff from this web site and I know how good the i9900 is from other peoples posts.
ANY information would be greatly appreciated.  
Thank you.

The i9900 is a really good printer and the cartridges are refillable with bulk ink which is available from several vendors.  The most poplular ones on this forum are MIS, Formulabs (from Alotofthings) and Hobbicolors, available on ebay.  There will ALWAYS be new models, but they are not necessarily "new and improved."  Until the present new Canon printers hit the marketplace with new inks and cartridges the "i"  and "ip" series were essentially the same except for a few bells and whistles, and they used the same ink cartridges for several years.  In the 8.5x11 size printers I would still buy the i960 if it were available in spite of the two model series that came after it.  I'm sure you will hear the same thing about the i9900.
