The Canon Pixma iP3600 is actually part of the same range as the Pixma iP4600. It doesn’t carry some of the iP4600′s more innovative features, such as automatic duplex printing, however it still able to to make an impression.

Setting up went easily. The final step is manual print head alignment, that requires selecting the most solid-looking printed rectangles on a test print and then keying in the numbers printed next to it directly into an onscreen interface. There are three pages of this, which can be rather tiring, but it’s worth doing it properly given it certainly improves the print quality substantially.

All the prints looked excellent. Even draft text were very clear and very easy to read, while lettering at a normal quality was as clear as that produced by the Canon LBP5050 laser printer and a little darker. Fonts as small as 5pt were legible, but a little fuzzy, at normal quality. Color document prints were great, it had accurate tones and shading in our graphs and also on our business graphics.

We are likewise in awe of the iP3600′s photo printing capabilities. Even though the printer functions with only four inks, the color and shading of our image prints were basically much like the six-ink printers we have previously reviewed. Skin tones looked like they were natural, dark colors as well as low-contrast sections was well defined and bright colors were dazzling and remarkable. The clarity and detail of our photos was indeed among the best we’ve seen from a budget inkjet, with virtually no jagged dithering, graininess or even fuzzy edges.

The iP3600 includes a separate print head, meaning if its nozzles become clogged, you can just simply replace the head rather than throwing away the whole printer. Although this is a four-colour printer, it actually requires five individual ink cartridges, which include both dye- and pigment-based black ink. The translucent dye (CLI-521 cartridges) results in rich tones on photo paper, while on the other hand the pigment-based ink (PGI-520BK cartridge) will sink into standard paper and dry immediately to create sharp text without any smudges. Such as the higher priced iP4600, this printer comes with a rear paper tray that can take standard as well as photographic paper and also a front-loading cartridge. The latter can hold around one hundred and fifty sheets of standard A4 and features a protective cover to prevent dust.

The mono print speeds are generally fast at 6.7ppm on standard quality. Draft-quality prints are sufficiently good to use even for formal documents, and printed at 9.3ppm. Mixed-colour documents took a bit longer to print at only 2.2ppm, but this measures up well with the majority of inkjets. Mixed-colour prints are generally affordable at 6p, while mono costs of 2.3p per page are a little bit high.

Should you need an inkjet for home use, the iP3600 brings together excellent print quality, low mixed colour costs and a low price. It’s really a great buy and, if you don’t have the need for a duplexer, is better value compared to the iP4600.

When asking the question, “how much weight can a horse carry?” you often hear a response similar to “it depends on the breed of the horse, its conditioning and conformation, how far and how long you will be traveling, the horse’s bone structure, the type of weight the horse will carry (for example live [rider] or dead weight [gear]), weight distribution” and so on. So with this sound advice from your fellow horsemen, surely you now have a much better idea of how much weight your horse can carry. No? Of course not. Though your colleagues are correct in stating all the above factors, you are still left in the dark without any guideline on how much weight a horse can carry. Can my horse only carry 80 pounds, or is he capable of carrying 300 pounds?

Fortunately some very smart horsemen over the years have come up with a few methods for us to calculate a starting point to help determine how much weight a horse can carry. One very simple guide is to take the horse’s weight and divide by six to give you the total weight, including rider and tack, the horse can carry. Given this, a 1200 pound horse could carry up to 200 pounds.

Another quick and popular method is to use the 20% rule. You take 20% of your horse’s body weight and the result is the amount of total weight your horse can carry. For example, a 1,000 pound horse should easily carry 200 pounds of rider and tack. The 20% rule typically applies to competitive or otherwise “hard” riding. For pleasure riding, many use a 30% rule, so this 1,000 pound horse could carry 300 pounds for shorter pleasure rides.

Measuring a horse’s cannon bone is used by some in determining the approximate weight a horse can carry. A measurement is taken around the circumference of the foreleg, just below the knee. Add together the weight of the horse plus the rider and tack, and divide this sum by the cannon bone circumference measurement. Then divide that result by two. A number between 75 and 85 is good. If the number is over 85, you probably need a larger horse. Using this method, I measure the circumference of the horse’s cannon bone and get 7.5 inches. The body weight of the horse is 1,150 pounds and the rider and gear weigh 235 pounds for a total combined weight of 1,350 pounds. Divide 1,350 (total combined weight) by 7.5 (cannon bone) and I get roughly 185. Divide 185 in half and my final resulting number is 93. Using this calculating method, I either need to lighten my gear or get a larger horse to get the number down to around 85.

Some horse and rider guidelines where carrying weight is concerned:

Pick a horse with bigger cannon bones, wider loins, shorter back

Avoid using heaving saddles and only carry necessary gear

Make sure the horse is conditioned for the type of riding you doing

Keep proper riding posture and balance

Give the horse a break on longer rides – get off a while and let your horse rest

Avoid riding in areas where footing is not desirable – such as mud, deep sand, asphalt

Avoid letting the horse trot or canter

The maximum weight a horse can safely carry does vary by the breed of the horse and how hard it’s worked. There is no absolute rule about how much weight a horse can carry, but generally speaking the lighter-framed the horse the less he can carry. A well conditioned horse or a stout horse can generally carry more. Some breeds are bred to carry heavier weights like the Quarter Horse, Arabian or Icelandic Pony. Riders with good balance also make weight load less of a problem.
