Also, I've been able to find third party ink cartridge refills for this printer which has cut the cost of operation in half.This printer is a great deal at a relatively low price. It prints excellent quality photographs and seems to scan pictures better than my Brother MFC-9440CN color laser all-in-one that has twice the resolution of the Canon printer.Maintenance is very low. I've used Hewlett Packard, Apple and Brother brand color laser printers. This is my first color ink-jet printer and my first Canon printer and I'm very satisfied. I'm able to go months in between print jobs without the printer cartridges gumming up (like an HP color printer does).
Best "photo" printer I have ever bought. Otherwise, it will come out grainy. It's a free download and is available for Macs as well as PC. B/c this is a magnificent printer. But the second time, I used it with some other picture application besides the Easy PhotoPrint EX.
You will be surprised at the clarity and boldness of the colors. *Also, VERY IMPORTANT***on the Easy PhotoPrint, when you go to select the type of paper in your printer (tab on the left side of the screen), look within the dialogue boxes at the top that come up for a block to check that says, "Vivid Photo" and check that box. The picture quality was grainy and yuck. Great, especially if you know.Date: May 6, 2009Pros: Compact Design, Lightweight/Portable, Easy Setup, Easy to use, Sharp Tones & ColorsI used it a couple of times with excellent results and then after some time came back and tried to use it again. So use the Easy PhotoPrint application that comes with it, or if you lost the driver, get it from this website again.
If you don't check that box, you might think you are getting a worse product than you really have.
You can't trust anyone, I guess. It appears that the print head snags the edge of norma (thin) sheets and tears the paper. Pretty quick printer. Very ugly. It is a very nice, if HUGE, all-in one, and the ethernet capability is awesome and easy to bring up.
Canon will fix it, of course, but it really should not require repair.Better QC is called for. The chip in the ink reservoirs is NOT nice as it means that non-OEM cartridges are more expensive than they should be.Biggest negative is that, on receipt, the printer mangles paper. It's a good, quick scanner, too. Bought one of these because it is a Canon (great past experience) and it can be modified to print on CDR and DVD disks easily. Duplex is a nice feature.
This makes the print head drag over the paper and smears ink.
I like it. The step-by-step setup instructions for set up were easy to follow. I bought this printer to replace a recently deceased Epsom. Since it is the highest rated printer in Consumer Reports, I was pretty sure I would be pleased with it. It makes beautiful pictures, and it's fast.
Never. Cause you're gonna need the other one when you send the original back and forth to Canon. First we had a power problem, then the paper feed broke. Don't get me wrong.it's a great printer when it works. Then repeat this for the paper feed, then repeat this for the black ink cartridge problem, etc., etc.And when the printer won't recognize the yellow ink cartridge and you just want to do something in black and white.
Under any circumstances. It. Works.We've had this printer for less than a year and it's worked for about 7 months during that timeframe. Sorry.it won't do anything, even 100% black and white until the problem is fixed.Bottom line: If you HAVE to use this printer.buy two. Do not buy this printer.
But here's the rub. Then the black ink cartridge wouldn't register, now the yellow ink cartridge won't.I will say Canon's product support is very helpful.but first you send in the printer, then they tell you what is wrong, then they fix it, then they send it back.with each step taking a week.
