Great But Quite Slow |
I bought this printer + scanner + copier four months ago and I can say I am happy for it. This printer is easy to instrall to your computer. The manual is clear. The printing quality is great. Other printers I have used has started to act strangely when there's not so much ink left. They have started to make the prints brighter. In this printer, however, the printing stops almost immediately when there's no ink. There is however maybe 1-5 papers where there's bad ink quality but not so much as for example HP's printers.
The ink tanks are easy to put to the printer and settings are easy to make. It is also very good that the printer tells you when there's not ink much. The only bad thing is it that this printer is slow. It takes time quite much if you copy 30 papers when I usually have to. However, the printing quality is very good...it makes the prints as good as the original ones (colour as well as black-and-white). The scanning is quite good too but not excellent. If you have a picture and you scan it, you can easily see that it's not the original one.
The ink tanks you used for this printer/scanner are BCI-24 (color & black). I say they last about 200-250 copies good work. Like I said, easy to install, even I can do it. There are great introductions for it.
copying: 3½ (great but slow)
scanning: 3 (quite fast but not so great)
printing: 4 (slow but excellent work) |

Print head failure - updated |
An update to my previous review - as Canon recommended I deep head cleaned the dodgy print head with Canon ink 5 times (a whole cartridge) and the quality didn't really improve. I decided to print a draft copy of something (182 pages, 50,000 words) using canon ink (another cartridge) - by the end of the printing the quality had vastly improved and is now perfect - no new print head was needed....but I think for heavy duty use you need to use Canon ink or perhaps to alternate the use of generic ink with Canon ink. The suppliers of the generic ink (Tescos) insist their ink is 100% guaranteed compatible with this printer -I'm currently corresponding with them regarding this claim as in my experience this is definitely not the case!
I am now back to loving my Canon Printer even though it is slow to warm up, a bit of an ink guzzler and you can't use generic ink cartridges (or I would imagine refill them). I would now give it 4 stars....
I bought this machine just over a year ago(15 days outside my guarantee) and I thought it was really great. I had a Canon printer before and it was still going after 12 years, but I decided that I needed a faster printer and the scan and copy features appealed. However recently I've noticed the print quality was even worse than before. I put this down to a dodgy ink cartridge or using 'Tesco' generic ink cartridges. When I eventually got round to trying to solve the problem I discovered that the print head needs replacing. This is going to cost (so I've been told) around £50.00 - a new machine now retails at £90- at the moment Canon basically say that even it was still under guarantee (!) that the generic ink has caused the problem. With my old printer I used to refill the cartridges and over a year (of about the same amount of printing) I spent £70 on cartridges with integral print heads(which were about £20 each) and ink refills . This last year even though the cartridges are relatively cheap I've spent around the same amount and now I've got to buy a new print head.... feels very much like a false economy...Canon or the makers of the generic ink may yet help out. If they do I'll do a new review! |

Good Printer & Scanner, somehow big, easy use, good looking |
The scans are relatively fast with a great resolution. I've scaned a photo in 600 DPI, and the colours were with exact shades and tones; the printing is worth enough too, to pay for that.
Cartridges are cheap enough for a student to pay for them occasionally. I'm a student and have bought this one to do my projects at home. Although the cartridges seem small, but they are enough to print at least a report of 100 pages, and because of their low price, I think, its worth enough to use it, instead of an HP, which its balck cartridge costs about 3 times, and the colour one about 1.5 times more. The EPSON's cartridges are, of course, cheaper (the fack ones), but as the EPSON need a head cleaning after every week of a week of inactivity, it seems that you need more cartridges to just clean the head!!! So considering this cons, although this one may have some negative points too, but still according other multidevices with an equivalent price, stands on top.
If you want to get a good colour copy on a A4, you should reduce the quality to standard or draft mode; so not much ink would be jet on the paper and make it wet, or cause the colours to mix.
In addition, it's a little bit big, actually there is no room remained on my desk to put my books, but if you don't really care, it's ok, and I'd suggest it. Its installation and usage are easy too.
I wish you enjoy it too. |
