Doesn't get much better than the i950/960 models...

The progession is like this:

i550: 4 series 3e cartridges,
i850: 4 series 3e cartridges
i560: 3 series 6 cartridges, 1 series 3e (black) cartridge,
i860: 4 series 6 cartridges, 1 series 3e (black cartridge)
i950: 6 series 6 cartridges, including photo cyan and photo magenta
i960: 6 series 6 cartridges, including photo cyan and photo magenta

Series 3e cartridges from China are good at only $4 each. Use the 550/560 if
you want least cost of general printing.

Series 6 non-Canon cartridges appear to cost $6-$10.

The photo inks typically achieve the best color balance and resistance to
fading.

The i550 prints slower than the other models.

The i860 and the i960 have an extra tray for 4x6 photo paper.

Even the Canon inks are still more economical than HP.

Though it would be nicew to print on CDs, it REALLY has nothing to do
with whether the Canons are good photo printers...

Canons built for the US market CANNOT print on CDs, but that is a
limitation built in by CANON because of some sort of copyright
infringement problem, NOT because of the printers capabilities.

Very good print quality, very fast, and very cheap and easy to refill the
ink tanks.
