I am between these 2 printers and don't know which is the best for my needs.
I need a photo printer for printing from a canon g3 DC with good fading
properties.
One of my problems is the printhead clogging that i had in the past with
epson printers.

Thank's for any feedback !!!

It sounds like you answered your own question with the epson clogging.
From my time spent here, it seems epson's clogging still lingers a
bit.

The quality and economy of the canon's seem unbeatable right now.

What about the print quality and the printhead life?
Will the head need to be replaced after a while like the old canon models
( s800 s400 etc)?

No printer is better in quality right now.

Printhead life.... I've heard of thousands of prints without signs of
wear. Ive never seen a post where someone needs to replace a printhead
because it was worn.

I think that i'll go for the canon.
But i will wait 2-3 days for any other opinions.
Thank's for your feedback beezer!!!
One more important question : The noise while printing?I noticed that in the
software is an option for quite printing.How quite is it?

Ive never used that option. Its very quiet out of the box. If you are
a step or two away from the unit, you dont even know if its running.
