The 5560 model even got to the point where it was a $11 moneymaker in Jan with the same cashback.

I avoid inkjets, far too expensive to run, unless you get the new Epson one which huge tanks. Lasers on the otherhand are cheap to buy refills for.

Interesting. I have the Canon Pixma MG5460, the "upgrade" to MG5660 sees these differences (Making the new model sub-par of the older one). Not what I would have expected from a newer model. Is this to be able to sell them cheaper?

Printing resolution
MG5460: 9600x2400 dpi
MG5660: 4800x1200 dpi

Ink droplet size
MG5460: 1pl/2pl/5pl (C/M), 5pl (Dye BK/Y), 12pl (PgBK)
MG5660: 2pl/5pl (C/M), 5pl (Dye BK/Y), 13pl (PgBK)

Print speed
MG5460: B&W: 15.0 ipm; Colour: 10.0 ipm; 4”X6” photo: Approx. 21 seconds
MG5660: B&W: 12.2 ipmColour: 8.7 ipm4”X6” photo: Approx. 44 seconds.
