After mulling over all the sound advice received from group, I have to
decide on either the i860 or i960.

I like higher resolution - relevant? A 4x6 separate photo paper tray.

I'm willing to pay a bit extra for something which will not be obsolete in
no time. So, the final question, is i960 worth the price?

I would go for the i860. Better text and can hardly tell the difference
in the photos. As far as going obsolete in a short time, that's going to
happen no matter which printer you purchase.
Good luck.

The Canon i860 is better bet as it still uses 5 carts! and mine is so good
on photo's that's using Canon's own Photo Paper plus glossy and the Pro the
result's are just stunning.
 
Oh, good. I'll go for the i860, which is in fact more widely available where
I live.
Thanks.

Resolution is nothing!
Sometimes (on some paper qualities) ink-jets print better at lower
resolution.

Generally the ink-jets depend on the "system quality" as a total.
# non clogging ink and nozzles
# good, clear drivers and settings
# settings compatible to used paper /media qualities
# drop size!!! (small is beautiful)
# perfect paper feeding to avoid gaps and lines
# graphic ink systems (but only if all above is perfect)

....there is no quick fix to make the super perfect ink-jet at a budget!

In a deep review the crew found that the Epson c62 (cheap printer) produced
higher picture quality compared to c82, it's bigger brother. Probably the
problem depended on flaws in the c82 driver. At the data sheet the c82
should have been better in all aspects.

The i865 is the European version (with CD tray) , i860 North American,
IIRC.

Is it "possible" to find the CD tray as aftermarket and include it into
the i860?? Would be neat.
