Superb piece of kit. Been using the Epson Photo R800 for the last 2 1/2 years, to print photos, high quality documents, and also print onto CDs. It was superb, the only disappointment was that you had to manually turn the paper over to print double sided.

The Canon iP6700D does all of this, and more. It offers the auto duplexing, sucking the paper back in and turning it over itself. Superb quality colour and greyscale, photos and document printing. Printing onto CDs also looks very good. Not quite as quick as the Epson, but I dont have to wait and turn the pages over. Very quiet operation too, much quieter than the Epson. Much cheaper too!

Not tried out the direct printing from USB or memory card - no need at the moment, but a good extra feature. So far, and absolute bargain at the price, bearing in mind the Epson is still about &80-100 more expensive.

Just got my new Canon last week and im gob smacked at the quality of the prints.
I take pictures for small companies and retailers so they can produce leaflets and door to door advertisment, so ive been printing pictures for a while now.
My trusty old HP 8450 was replaced by the Canon and theres no going back now.
Its simple to use and the six ink system is perfect because you only replace what you use.
Amittedly ive only had the printer for a few days so im not really sure of its weak points yet but im confident that it will serve me well.
The pictures are also double the resolution of my old HPs and the prints shine like they`re on glass.
Just check out the price!!...go for it before the rest of the world discovers the greatest secret known to man.

Bought the iP6700d, after reading reviews on Amazon, to replace a failed Epson All in One. My only reservation being reviews that wrote of difficulty in setting up the printer for use.
Initial assembly was very straightforward even though i had never had to fit a print head to a printer before.
Following the instructions loading of the software gave no problems, pc using windows Pro, and subsequent connection of the printer and powering on had it ready to go.
Loaded some non brand photo paper and used the supplied "Canon easy print tool box" utility to locate my existing pictures and print off some sample prints. Results were everything that Canons own review writes about the printer and the speed and noise level were better than my old Epson.
Printing directly from a memory card is very straightforward, have yet to try the Pict Bridge option but do not envisage any problems.
Very pleased with the ability to have A4 paper loaded in the lower cassette feeder for standard printing and then being able to insert photo paper in the upper Auto sheet feeder when i have photos to print, no more swapping paper around. It is also a bonus with the design of the printer that you can close the top paper feed when the printer is not in use to help keep dust and foreign objects out of it.
All of this was achieved in the time it took me to drink a hot coffee at about six in the morning, not my best time for this sort of thing but just had to get the printer up and running !!.
All in all a resounding success and highly recommended if your in the market for a new photo printer.

I spent a good deal of time reading online reviews of printers,and this recieved consistantly good reviews.
As I live in France,where there are few if any pc stores, it had to be an online purchase,and to my surprise amazon.fr accepted all my amazon.co.uk account details and it arrived in two days.
The printer is a really solid bit of kit,although the paper trays feel a little flimsy and it still amazes me that such high precision examples of electro-mechanical devices like this printer are so inexpensive!
Getting the software installed was a nightmare(xp operating system),time and time again the installation failed,and I followed all the troubleshooting instructions in the manual without success.Eventually after hot swapping the usb lead a few times,and changing sockets, it finally loaded and went'online'.I still get a 'new hardware found'message each time on start up,but just cancel it.
So,time for the first photo,pressed print and away it went.I was seriously impressed by its speed and quietness,(and there is a silent mode I've not even tried yet) there was just no comparison to my old epson stylus and the results were superb even though not using canon paper(nobody stocks it here).The photo editing software is as good as any I've used,and the print sizes/layout options are great.
It seems there are more options using direct printing from a picture card than from a pc,like printing test shades,but I have not tried that yet.
I'm hoping some genuine canon paper will bring even better results,but my advice would be BUY IT!

This is definitely an amazing printer. I consider myself a 'gadget girl' and tend to get new things and be disappointed. No disappointment here! I set the printer up very easily and on the first print was amazed.

The integrated duplex unit is a great feature. The printer is well-designed and considering all of the features it has, is very small. I would recommend this highly to anyone. Even if you are switching from a laser printer, the ink print quality beats that of a laser's toner hands down!
