Excellent Budget Photo Printer and Ok "All round" printer
By bendenajones
Bottomline:If you want a photo printer go with the i950If you want a great all-round printer go with the i850.
I owned both the i850 and i950, with the i850 first. The i850 is an great all-round printer printing fast text and photos. Using the Canon photo paper images look great, but simply lack the detail the i950 can provide with 6 inks and almost twice the nozzles and special photo inks. The extra nozzles not only make printing faster (at least for photos) but allow for more detail.
On a picture, printed from Photoshop 6.0, that contained lots of details and color, but specifically a tree with multi-colored (shades) of bark - on the i850 the tree looked good with good detail, but on the i950 the tree came to life, was sharper, with more tree/bark detail and color variations becoming visible. There was no question, the i950 was better, noticably for photos.
On mixed media (web page with graphics) the i950 and i850 were the same, but for some reason, the i850 was noticably faster. You get a larger black-ink cartridge w/ the i850 presumably favoring its intended role as a excellent all-round printer.
If price is an issue, the i850 is the printer for you ... If photo quality is the most important, then the i950 is for you ... Can't make up your mind? Go with the i950, the extra money is worth the results.

By A Customer
Years ago, I worked as a custom color printer, so I feel I have somewhat of a background in judging photo print quality. Hopefully the stability of the Canon photo paper pro media truly approaches 25 yrs, as Canon claims. This is good enough for me at this time. My prints are made for myself, and as gifts for my family and friends.....
The output from this printer, with the 8.5"x11" photo paper pro, really impressed me right out of the box. I figured I would give it the acid test right away and try printing portraits. I don't have any professional color management, but the color was bang on, did a +13 intensity change in the print driver and I felt I had honest WYSIWYG work-flow!!
Accurate flesh tones are critical in portrait printing and the printer nailed them. I didn't need the Canon supplied imaging software as I am a PSP 7 user, so I can't comment on Canon's efforts here. I printed 6x8" prints with 1" borders that are easily frameable, wall-hangable prints. I would have no hesitation in giving these prints as gifts to family and friends....

By Stewart Strauss
I read everything I could about Epson and Canon photo printers...I was concerned about the amount of ink used as well as photo quality.I had an Epson 740i, which served me well, but never quite matched the colors on the screen, (iMac DV 400), or in the original photographs. I use Photoshop 7 and an Epson 1200u scanner. The scanner does excellent work and I've had it for 3 plus years.Bottom line: EVERYTHING LOOKS BETTER PRINTED ON THE CANON i950! You can hardly hear it working, which is amazing in itself. From simple text, to scanned text, to digital or paper photos. It's all good!Ink is pricy. I've gone through one full set of all six colors and an extra black and photo magenta tank. So far, I've stuck with Canon ink. Staples is as good or better than anyplace, for prices, but I may try inkjets.cfriends.com soon.
