- + Дешёвый, вроде работает. Брался на замену сломавшегося HP DJ-770
- - 1. Ужасная техподдержка. Он ещё не сломался, а я уже поглядываю на седативные препараты.
2. Установка драйвера происходит через одно место. Так-то аппаратик ни разу не домашний,...
- + год отработал
- - Спустя пару месяцев после окончания гарантии вышла из строя печатающая голова. новая -...
- + Качество печати хорошее, довольно экономичный, присутствует подрезка бумаги и печать без рамки, для чертежей очень здорово, не нужно подрезать.
- - Отработал 1.5 года и умерла печатающая головка, напечатал всего 700м2...
- + Дешево
- + Экономично, тихо быстро
- - Всегда так было, пережил кажется 3 плоттера вроде 605 607 670 сейчас тм 200 потом будет другой. Всегда одно и тоже, голова стоит как новый плоттер, подставка и картриджы не подходят к новым хотя такие же. На подставку положили кусок гофрокартона, теперь новые модели протыкают в картоне свои дырки и стоят на старых подставках. Иногда голова выходит из строя при долгом режиме непрерывной работы или недоливе краски, там термо голова перегорают перемычки- замена и промывка бесмысленна. Если левые чернила пошли например кактус и не привели к засору то не менять их, засор - промывка бесполезна приводит к покупке нового плоттера. Не надо вестись на сьем головы его промывку и тд. Риск замены на другие чернила замена всего принтера. СПНЧ почти сразу приводит к замене плоттера. Серия плоттеров отличная. Рекомендую с учетом замечаний.
- + Современный плоттер, отлично подходит для чертежей и печати масштабных картинок. Недорогие расходики, возможность использовать ПЗВ(нужен сменный чип).
- - Продаётся без подставки.
- + Отличный принтер, печатает супер, все работает, настроили легко
- + Работает, всё отлично.
- + Скорость печати полностью устраивает. Посмотрим как отработает в течении года, если доблесная компания canon не намудрила с пг как в прошлых сериях IPF
- - Печать на листе...
- + 1. Формат до A1+ (рулон/листы)
2. Интерфейсы: USB/Ethernet/WiFi
3. Цена - за такое устройство вполне демократичная
4. Цветной сенсорный дисплей, отображающий даже имя файла печатаемого задания
5. Скорость вывода заданий - вполне достойна для этого класса
6. Возможность надстройки сканером (правда, он дороже плоттера)
7. Более емкие баки для чернил (по сравнению с imagePrograf iPF670)
8. Более эффективное самообслуживание устройства, - аппарат запускается быстрее и тратит меньше...
- + Полностью оправдывает свою стоимость. Хорошее соотношение скорости и качества печати.
- - За 6 месяцев эксплуатации...
- + Низкая стоимость
- - Пока не увидел
I am wondering how these guys will handle in case of any service needed.
I felt I should have bought EPSON or HP. Hoping that nothing breaks and I don't need to call these guys home.

One odd thing i found (check pics) is that color inks werent upto the top arrow mark like the black ink. I'm not sure why bcoz i emptied the entire bottle into the tank. The color prints have not come out bright and they look a bit dull. Was expecting better print quality on white 75gsm paper. Black prints are quite good.
Update:
The photo print quality on 200gsm kodak 6x4 is quite good. Higher quality paper would also give good results. The speed of printing is impressive and no washout or anything observed. After printing 4 pics, the ink level is the same.

NB: about seller and Amzon service. i have had a problem delivery of printer since they where flooded with deliveries during great indian sale, which never used to happen with amazon. but they sorted out everything quickly and made sure i receive it. So Kudos to Amazon Service.. Cheers!

Here are my few observations of the product :
1.) Its an ink tank printer that comes with separate ink tanks to be filled with ink red , yellow , blue & black .Its always considered to be more economical for per page printing and should be chosen if you have bulk work on a routine basis.
In these ink tank printers, it is also required to take prints on a minimum weekly basis or prolonged non-usage may lead to drying of heads .
2.) The construction of the printer is very elegant and solid and the ink tanks are absorbed in the regular chassis of the printer unlike HP brand, however it is my personal preference.
Solid doesn't mean you can afford to drop it , it means the plastic used for construction feels very premium and rigid.
3.) Regarding functionality - It can scan and print documents very fast .Page size supported is from 4.0"x 6.0" photo paper to A4 ,Letter ,Legal , A5 , B5 .
I purchased glossy kodak photo papers 280 GSM & paperone A4 100 GSM papers and the print quality was excellent.
For pictures , it takes few minutes but its worth the wait .If you choose the right paper the photos are bound to be very good ,However at few places i found the shade of green slightly dark in print than in actual photo that was scanned.
Resolution is good for both photos and documents.
Printing makes slight noise but is tolerable , its not like neighbour or even other room person will be disturbed.
4.) Got it with additional warranty for onsite repair for next 2 years.
5.) I bought it first then realized i don't have that much work to use it on daily basis so i would ask my readers to buy only if you have routine works or make use of shops.

The colour head was not working properly from day 1.
Tried all software based ink flushing techniques, the ink totally flushed out and the colour stopped working there on..
Ordered new head- Rs 3500/-
Within 2 days, the led blinking indications started coming.decorded the code online and found it's an error which only service centre people can do. The ink drain was full.
After a week, the printer is not powering on itself!!
Service charge + replacement of printer board..Rs 5000/-
Warranty not applicable on these sections..
Had a great Cannon experience..

=== Print Quality ===
This is definitely the brightest point with this printer. I used Epson ink tank printer earlier and were not satisfied with the results of it. But this Canon printer makes the cut. I am amazed to see the results of the printing both color and B&W. I printed many photos on photo papers and the results were better than the inkjet printers.
=== Ink Longevity ===
This is another biggest selling point of this printer. The printer came with 4 ink bottles - Black, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow. After printing over 2000 pages so far (photos and documents) I still see 50% of the ink left.
=== Ease of Use ===
I can connect this to my wifi router and get started in 5 minutes. All I need is to read the instructions carefully. And voila, all my devices - Computer, Laptop, Mobile and iPad - can print without any hassles. They can detect the printer and starts printing just in minute.
=== Paper Feeding ===
In my more than one year experience with this printer, I never faced a single paper jam. If at all something happens, check paper feeder if any small objects stuck accidentally.
=== Scanner ===
Not used much but overall quality was ok. If you want crystal clear scans, this is not for you.
=== Copier ===
Its just a click of button. Keep your document inside the scanner and click on blabk or color button. Your document copy is ready.
=== Issues ===
So far I came across only one issue. The printer orange light starts blinking and the messages shows that the ink cleaner bed was overflown and needs a service. But I followed the instructions on Youtube videos, cleaned the ink cleaning bed and cartridges for 4 to 5 times and then the printer came back to normal. But this took over 4 hours to understand and solve the issue.
=== Advice ===
1. Do not perform system cleaning too many times. This will cause overflowing of tank on ink cleaner bed and malfunction your primter.
2. Do not use cheap paper, use paper such as JK Sparkle etc.
3. Do not print photo prints on normal paper, use photo paper or thick paper.
4. Make sure to print few papers at least once a week with all colors. This will reduce color logging inside the tubes.
Overall, I am very satisfied with this printer and the quality of prints it gives you.
Update 11/11/19
I faced one more issue after long time. The printer unable to feed the paper and I couldn't find any object inside the feed. After two days of struggling I came up with an idea of reverse feeding the paper from inside the printer, i.e. open the top box to see printer inside and switch off and onthe printer. While stopping, it reverses spinning wheel and load paper manually to it just in time. Voila, it started.


Don't find any difficulty with installation (Followed the installation steps from youtube)
There are 2 issues:
1. The printing speed via WIFI/SELPHY APP is very slow, my wifi connectivity is good. Seems the issue persists with printer data receiver.
2. While installation/Initial Head setup, printer has consumed more ink from YELLOW tank. Almost 1/4 of the ink was gone during installation. But afterwards the ink usage looks normal..


Once the installation is complete, it is a very easy to connect to it if the device is on the same network. I haven't tried WiFi direct, so can't review about it.
Speaking about the print quality, it is excellent. Keep in mind the quality of the paper, the quality of the source image and the App you use of printing makes a world of differences. I tried printing pictures on a Kodak Glossy paper using my phone and cannon printer app, the quality was not as much as I expected. Was a little disappointed, but when I used GIMP ( a free photo editing app ) on windows and selected the right size of the paper. The print quality was awesome.
Document printing and Scanning is perfect, you can print through any app, even using mobile the quality is awesome.
Overall a perfect product of printing at cheap rate and great quality.

It never worked properly since day one, Had to follow all troubleshooting before every print
If used with any other Ink from Amazon then the printer stops working with Error Code: 5B00

Although I was aware that there is no LCD screen to guide me thorough the menus, my geekiness will support me, I was sure.
Installation with my computer via WiFi router was pretty easy. Did a few tries to locate the printer on my network and tried the button shortcuts and finally got it connected.
Prints were good. Ink seems to be drained a lot as 3 prints on, I could see about 15 percent drop in the ink levels. Need to ascertain it in the long duration.
Now comes the tricky part. I wanted to connect it to my phone and another phone not on my WiFi router network. I installed the Canon "Print" app and it was not detecting my printer.
I tried detecting WiFi direct devices but was not able to see the printer. After a few tries with the button shortcuts, I was able to locate it in the regular WiFi devices. I connected to the WiFi printer and was able to at least connect the phone to the printer directly. Prints and scans were again possible.
Then came the real headache. The printer was not getting detected by the computer now. By some unknown reasons, this printer is not able to connect to both services, WiFi direct (act as hotspot) and regular WiFi (access a hotspot) simultaneously.
My previous WiFi MFD, a 5000 rupee HP was easier to install, easier to understand and connect and had none of the aforementioned WiFi issues!
I called up the Canon customer care (18002083366) on Saturday and raised a service request. service guy will visit my in 24 hours, I was told. Come Tuesday, I still didn't get the service call atleast.
I gave them a call on Tuesday morning and reiterated the issue. They gave me a local service number. After a few hours, I got a call and I had to tell them the whole story again. Second installation is not free, I was told. I said that the first installation was done by myself. They agreed to come by evening.
Evening they gave excuses that they were caught up with other customers and don't even have the courtesy to lift my phone. I'm still waiting. Will update after they actual arrive. I just hope the service rep has better skills than myself.
I'm pretty sure it's not an issue which can be sorted out onsite. There might be shop servicing needed. I should have gone with Amazon return as I'm still within that period. But I'm being a gentleman, for now.
Update : Gentleman's patience broke. I got a replacement. Problem persists another way.
I realised my 12k Canon printer can only act as either a wifi-direct printer or can access an external WiFi router, but cannot do both, like my 5k HP printer.
The technicians reply made it clear. Sir, canon doesn't have any models in the sub-15k range which can be accessed by laptops vide wifi router and at the same time by accessed by phones vide wifi Direct! Thumbs down.
The printer however served its purpose of printing well in standard and best modes. Draft mode had lines showing up on an otherwise splendid photo.
Another irritating problem with this device is the scanning application. Competitors need to learn from HP. Their scanning apps were so user friendly. This one in yet to find easy ways to scan proud or documents readily with my required settings by default. Not at all user friendly. Instead it pops up like some irritating ads we get online!
Overall, this is an ok device for the rate. The only saving grace are the ciss, which for now works great and the decent print quality for standard and best modes. So far so good.
