My new toy: canon i960 photo printer

ok the quality is friggin amazing, however that bitch autocrops if i use the canon software i presume it does that to preserve the 4x6 ratio, any idea on how to disable that, also should i shoot my digital pics at the 3:2 option?

i just bought this also. i love using it with the canon paper that came with it but have used kodak thinner paper and don't like that nearly as much.


i hate the cropping. i had that last night. left a effing white line on the side of the pics and i couldn't crop it correctly in the crop mode. dunno. i'll just make sure my pics are the correct size before i print them i guess.

This is user error You are intuitively correct about needing to shoot in 3:2 to get the 4x6 or whatever photo printing ratio to work with the no cropping.

Damn, i know the kodak paper that i got from staples during black friday doesn't even come close to the canon paper supplied. But what are you gonna do, i mean it was like 2 bucks a pack and i bought 5 of them

and the printer only cost me $100 from staples, so it was just a must have since my epson stylus 600 crapped out on me.


and this 3:2 propaganda, i do not like!

Did you play around with the vivid photo option?
what do you think?

there was a tuesday only deal the printer was for 179.99

i bought it online

then from the 5-7th or something like that there were 2 coupons 30 off of 150 in store and 12% off for affiliates and business partners

so i got the printer on the 4th
on the 5th went to the store, rebought the printer got it price adjusted to 179.99 - 30 coupon - 12% - 2% (automatic with using AMEX gold small business card) - 40 staples Gift card via mail in rebate
