If you are comfortable with mail-in rebates then this is a excellent deal. Authorised Canon retailer Adorama has the Canon PIXMA PRO-100 Professional Inkjet Photo Printer for $59 after $250 mail-in rebate (instructions). Cart price will show $309 but the final price is $59 with free shipping (in USA). After MIR you’ll also get 50 sheets of photo paper for free along with the printer. It’s not the latest photo printer by Canon but still a very good, semi-professional performer, especially if you consider you pay it $59.
