- Excellent all-in-one
- I love this printer! I couldn't stop using it the day I set it up (which is super-easy by the way). I scanned old photos and they came out clearer than the original (hard to imagine, I know!) especially when I printed them out. I just love it. It is a little big, but if it were small, you just wouldn't get the quality that you're looking for. Excellent, I love it, I will always buy Canon now!

- Great So Far
- I have only owned this printer for about two months so I cannot speak for the long term.
I bought this because we needed a printer for home use that offered print/copy/scan capabilities. After seeubg t
I have owned Lexmark and HP printers in the past and HP performance met my needs. I chose this Canon Pixma because it had great reviews and was such a great deal (sale price of about $239 on Amazon with a $100 rebate from Canon). I was hoping to get better quality at a value price. From the moment that I took it out of the box, I felt it was going to be a very good decision. The design and build quality is far above that of any of the HP printers that I have owned or used. This is a solid, sharp looking machine with great features. I have Windows Vista and only have a laptop. I had no problem whatsoever downloading the software and the interface was smooth. I can unplug the printer (USB), roam wirelessly with the laptop, then plug back in the printer with no problems or delay.
I am only an amatuer photographer but I think the photos that I printed so far came out very nice. Scanning works great although I haven't tried to scan negatives as of yet. Ink usage is much lower than with my previous printers. I think that I haven't even scratched the surface of the capabilities of the machine yet.
*I don't have a problem right now with available space. However, for those who plan to use this on a compact computer cart/desk, you might consider something else. This machine is large and heavy.... like I stated earlier, it is solid.
I like the fact that there there are two paper feeds and that the feeds & trays can be closed to keep dust out (the tray pops out automatically if you forget to open it... cool feature). The large screen is great too. This is a classy executive looking machine that will look great anywhere. As far as perfomance, it meets my needs. I am very happy with this purchase.
Thanks Canon for opening my eyes to quality.
Hope this helps. - 2008-05-15, 2 of 2 people found this review helpful, Rated:

- Great little space saver
- For a laptop user having wireless access to a printer is huge!
Overall the printing and scanning capabilities are really nice. The cartridges are reasonably priced though I am not a big fan of the embedded microchips on each cartridge designed to thwart third party inks.
The color printing is excellent. I noticed on problem with photo printing, on darker prints you can really see streaks between each pass of the printer head. Other than that, this printer has been perfect. - 2008-05-11, 1 of 1 people found this review helpful, Rated:
