I’ll leave the details and deeper nerdery to other reviews and the spec sheet, but here’s a few of the reasons I’m really satisfied with this decision. It’s a great photo printer and a fast, middle-quality text printer, but if you’re looking for a cheap way to print index cards from your Mac, I think this is a great choice. This means that you can load up the tray with plain printer paper without removing your blank cards from the top loader -no juggling, and no disruption to your “normal printing.” It also has a 150-sheet, cassette-loading paper drawer (similar to those on the old LaserWriters).

The Winner: Canon Pixma iP3000 Photo Printer (including a couple phone calls to sales support and some assorted friends).īut, in the end, I decided to put my real-life money where my mouth theoretically should be: I popped in to CompUSA on Saturday morning and bought the recommended model that looked best to me-the Canon Pixma iP3000-and then spent the rest of the weekend testing it out. First, I took everyone’s suggestions (and warnings), compiled a tally count, and then did a bit of extra research on CNET, Epinions, etc. Duh, right?Īnyhow, to put this together, I’ve adopted a blended approach. This was borne out by the very wide range of suggestions you all submitted-over 30 different models by most all the major companies were mentioned (although only 4 got mentioned more than once)-as well as the plain fact it’s virtually impossible to give meaningful advice on a product you’ve never used. So I did what I always do: I asked for help.Įven as I started asking for reader advice on inexpensive printers that handle standard index cards well, I had a feeling this was going to be a tough post to put together. I’ve shared this interest since, frankly, I’ve been buffaloed as well-crippled by the crappiness of my old Epson and unsure what to try next. With this growth and interest have come a lot of requests from readers for the best, cheapest, and most Mac-friendly printer for printing directly to ordinary index cards. The Hipster PDA has been extended and improved beyond my wildest dreams thanks to things like GTDTiddlyWiki, Douglas Johnston’s D IY Planner, and John Norris’s very creative templates.
