I noticed Canon Japan web site
http://cweb.canon.jp/pixus/lineup/ip4100/
has a new range of printers looking through their list I can not see a
IP5100 to replace the IP5000. it seems that they have dropped their
1pl print heads from the ranges mentioned which seems a little odd,
as one would have expected the 1pl heads be used in the newer
high-end range of printers, wonder why this is..?

My concern is that they may clog but I have not heard of that happening
so it is anyones guess.

With todayÂ’s technology the size of the print heads is rather irrelevant
concerning clogging. What really matters is how it is technically
implemented and how the ink is prepared for and delivered.
You're really an uninformed amateur aren't you?
Get lost.

I love my iP5000. The output is a step beyond what my earlier i860
(today's iP4000) can do. Sure the output takes longer at 9600 dpi, but
the difference is well worth the wait. Graininess is virtually
eliminated. I run it on a combination of compatible (BCI-6) and bulk
BCI-3e) inks.

I'd hate to go down a level to an iP4100 - unless this new line finally
included the missing CD/DVD print capability.

I understand what Taliesyn is saying and you have gotta agree that a
finer nozzle will produce a better resolution, vertical resolution
to be exact - no problem there, and you gotta agree it will take
slightly longer to print but with finer detail producing a better
picture.

I simply was curious as to why the finer 1pl head was not used in the
latest models on Canon Japan site since they do produce a 'grainfree
picture'.

Its gotta be noted from various sites that clogging DOES NOT seem to
be a issue with the Pixma range compared to other printers, Epson
seems to be more notorious for this - just look and observe and you
will see what I mean.

I find it hard to find any complaints with clogging on the IP5000's
but why have they been dropped, I would imagine a printer
manufacturer would 'bloat' about the 1pl print head like Epson
about their Peizo heads

When it comes to buying printers its NOT the review's that I take note
of.
