With the Canon Pixma iP1500 Photo Printer, printing projects for school or for your family scrapbook will impress even the sharpest critic. One key reason is Canon Full-photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering (FINE). It uses an innovative 1,088-nozzle print head that ejects consistent and precise ink droplets as small as 2 picoliters. This patented technology produces outstanding resolution and clear, detailed images. Bottom line? More nozzles with higher accuracy equal better results.

You'll be amazed at the results.OK, what about speed? This no-compromise printer is surprisingly fast, capable of printing up to 18 ppm in black and up to 13 ppm in color. Photo projects whiz by too: it can produce a 4" x 6" borderless photo in approximately 58 seconds.Easy-WebPrint software gives users the tools to properly print Web pages in full color without losing any information. Easy-PhotoPrint delivers professional looking digital photos with improved image processing and color fidelity. Together, these applications can give you the great results you expect.
High speed, sharp resolution, and economical ink refills: Could you ask for more in a home printer? The Canon PIXMA ip1500 is designed with over 1,000 nozzles that produce tiny 2-picoliter droplets, resulting in finely detailed images that are worthy of saving in your family album. Pigment-based inks insure colors will stay true, and the prints are resistant to water, fading, and smudges. With resolutions up to 600 x 600 dpi black and 4,800 x 1,200 dpi color, your office documents or school reports will look as beautiful as your photos. Top speeds of 18 ppm black and 13 ppm color (draft mode) will have your pages in hand in just a few seconds; a borderless 4-by-6-inch photo can take as little as 58 seconds--quick enough to hand out party photos as your guests walk out the door.

Canon PIXMA iP1500 Photo Printer Reviews
This product worked well enough initally but I was not at all impressed with it's true color abilties when used to print anything other then text. After a few months things only got worse when I began to notice severe ink smears or splotches appearing upon all printed documents. Thanks to the crappy quality of this printer I will soon be purchasing a new one and without a doubt it will not be this model. Now it's like it is possessed and it only works correctly after about 10 tries.
It never fails me. I have no problems with it ever. $7 for a black cartridge and $18 for color. I have the Pixma ip1500 at work and at home. I have found even better deals on auction sites for the genuine Canon ink. The biggest plus is the ink cost is so reasonable. I am an appraiser and crank out appraisals all day long on it. Can't go wrong with this printer.
Barely used it before it started messing up. Couldnt fix it no matter what I did. Prints sideways and squiggly.
What a piece of junk. Hit 'print' again, and it *might* eventually print your report, but more likely it won't because the ink tanks have dried up waiting for you to clear all the other errors. Instead of giving us all this useless software, just give us a printer that prints, Canon. Your print job *may* have printed by the time you return, but probably not, because 1)the Pixma can't find the paper in the feed tray (it's there), 2)the colored ink tank is low (it's not), 3) the black ink tank is low (it wasn't) 4)the paper is jammed (how can it be, when Pixma can't find the paper in the tray). There's a hundred different software utilities and options to figure out, none of them help with anything at all, and they just add to the level of frustration. Canon really laid an egg when they flew this turkey to the market. Absolutely positively the worst printer I have ever owned or used, bar none, and I've worked with many. When you click on that print button, go have a cup of coffee, take a nap, watch TV for awhile.
I use it for trivial printing at this point.just to use up the ink ive invested in. I have been using it (when it works) for 6 months and it sucks. If anyone wants it.they can have it for the cost of shipping. After that.its in the trash. Absolutely Positively the WORSE Printer I have ever owned. I have a feeling these other reviewers.no offense.havent owned and operated the printer long enough to make a valid appraisal. I'll put it on amazons used sale list.
