Pros: Built in roll feed. All inks contained, now switching cartridges. Very fast. Canon support is very good quality. Excellent build quality (heavy).
Cons: Original cartridges are only partially full Heavy (also a pro). Some interaction at the printer (although minimal). It's huge!
Summary: I have converted my fine art photography from Fiber Based Silver B&W media and Cibachrome color media to digital output.

Summary: I have converted my fine art photography from Fiber Based Silver B&W media and Cibachrome color media to digital output.
Bottom line is control, consistency and most importantly image quality.
This is a new medium, and has strengths of its own, which allows me to adjust my portfolio for the strengths of this printer. I compared the other mid sized archival ink printers, and this had the winning combination of features, and after reviewing image quality, with my control of installed firmware (updates), drivers, images and paper, and comparing output to HP & Epson, I felt the quality was easily on-par if not more significant than the competition.
Also, the Canon ink set appears to provide a broader gamut in certain colorations, which, in many photos may not be critical, but from a graphic artists perspective this will most certainly set an image apart.
Also, had an issues of a missing part on shipment, after contacting Canon, their rep was actually in the states and spoke English, was helpful, thorough and prompt. They worked for my business. Refreshing to say the least.
Cons: menu is hard to use at times, but gets easier
Summary: This is really a great print, no matter what size I print at I get constant results. There was little calibration require to get what I see on my Macs, ...
Summary: This is really a great print, no matter what size I print at I get constant results. There was little calibration require to get what I see on my Macs, the colors are spot on. Highly recommend this unit.
Cons: Service poor. After one month printer still unrepaired.
Summary: One should check into the reliability and see if newer models have a better track record. I'm looking forward to using a properly operating unit, perhaps the unintuitive menu ...
Summary: One should check into the reliability and see if newer models have a better track record. I'm looking forward to using a properly operating unit, perhaps the unintuitive menu will be less troublesome when the printer is operating correctly.

With features designed to help all levels of users achieve extraordinary results, the iPF5100 printer is the ideal solution for any color professional looking for striking, full-bleed color output with strength in paper handling and exceptional speed in output. The iPF5100 printer is engineered to produce colors, fine details, and subtle expressions required for some of the most challenging color environments such as photography, proofing and professional graphic applications. The new iPF5100 printer is equipped with the ability to recalibrate itself to the original factory settings and apply any necessary adjustments across the printer's media types. The result, a more predictable printing platform where results can be consistently achieved.

Vivid breathtaking, long lasting prints are achieved by combining Canon's advanced technological achievements. The iPF5100 is designed for reliability, simplicity, productivity and above all, quality.
