very poor photo printing

 

I'll need to buy a different printer for my photos; it does not print satisfactory photos.

prints documents very well, cheap

photos are not clear, color poor, no help from Canon when asked, just a run-around

When it works it's great..

 

Move on to something else.

Good photos, easy to set up, can adjust ink use for ultimit usage.. When working, it's good

Have had two now, bought 1 for myself, and 1 for my 39 something daughter. Even with uploading new drivers, they just went 'kapu't in less than a year. Ink is EXPENSIVE

Don't waste your time

 

I've had this printer for about 1 year and 2 months. I've had problems ever since purchase. First of many problems was ink cartridge not being recognized, displaying errors on the small LCD screen on printer, replacing ink cartridge did not fix...

Great prints ; large scan screen and great scans ; Able to send faxes

Expensive cartridges ; will not print if one cartridge is empty (will not print color if black is empty and vice-versa) ; constantly nags to change ink cartridge if you use refurbished ink cartridges (you have to reset the printer to ignore ink levels...

I have had this printer less than 6 months and the paper feed is broken. I probably had not even printed 200 pages in this time. If you research online, as I wish I had, you will find that this is a common problem with this model and Canon does not...
