I found the best price at buydig.com I've bought other products from them. Shop around for the canon paper. be sure to get the photo pro paper. I got a 75 pack for 23.00 including shipping. So shop around. It doesn't only come in twenty packs.

QuickTake:

Pros: Excellent Print Quality. Better than taking them in.
Cons: wish it had a compact flash card port.

Comments:
The PIXMA iP8500 offers blazing-fast photo outputs at the slight expense of text print speeds.

Review Verdict: The iP8500 is an eight-color unit that uses eight individual ink cartridges. In other words, besides the normal inks you'd get with six-color inkjets, Canon has also thrown in additional green and red inks to emulate positive film. According to the Japane

Review Verdict: The Canon Pixma iP8500 couldn't be easier to set up. Freed from its foam packing, it can be plugged into a power source, linked via a USB cable to your computer, and outfitted with its printhead and eight ink cartridges in less than 10 minutes.

Comments:
At the same time, the printer proved to be relatively quick as well, requiring 200 and 141 seconds respectively to get through our two test prints. Adding further icing to the cake was the fact that the PIXMA iP 8500 proved to be a very silent operator.

Review Verdict: If price isn't a deciding factor, Canon's PIXMA iP 8500 is a must have for those that want top notch quality for their photo prints bar none.

Review Verdict: The IP8500 prints photos very quickly, has a duplexer, and has cheaper-than-averages ink and paper costs. However, its limited direct-print features make it best suited for use hooked up to a PC.

Comments:
The Pixma iP 8500 is a stunning photo printer, but as always, you get what you pay for.

Review Verdict: The Pixma iP 8500 is intended for printing digital photographs and at this it is supremely good. Whether printing on A4, 10 x 15 or on CDs, photos come out superbly natural and detailed. It's also quick when printing photos, but don't duplex plain pages i

The printer you should purchase depends on your workflow, desk real estate, and budget, as well as the printer's image quality and image longevity. Of these two models, I prefer the i9900 for its ability to produce much bigger prints and for its FireWire
