Many printers from different brands are out in the market. Most of them cost more because of the extra functions or amenities they have to offer. Most of this functions or amenities might give the idea that you also need it in your daily printing life. So for the cost efficient consumers, whose sole purpose in buying printers are just looking for printers only. Nothing more. To be able to cater both printing documents and photos Canon Pixma iP1000 is one of the most economical printers available in the market. For one, it is not that expensive to buy the unit.
Also
the ink cartridges are readily available anywhere. An installer comes with the package. But if in case you lost the cd, most laptop units and desktops have already Canon printers readily available to be installed in the unit. So less hassle when using the unit. I happened to be one of those few who carelessly lost the installer. So when I bought a new laptop, it was not that difficult to install the printing in my unit because I could just add the printer into the system.
