и приятно удивлен качеству снимков. До этого был старый Canon 300-мыльница. Потом Фуджи F50. Оба не выдержали испытание асфальтом (за это отдельное спасибо дочке). И вот за 3 дня до отпуска стал вопрос: а нужны ли нам очередные проходные снимки на фоне пляжа и выкинутых из моря на песок аморфных тел отдыхающих. Жена спросила: "А чем этот год лучше других?"Устами жены глаголет истина в первой и последней инстанции и, вот, этот японский чудо-аппарат был оперативно доставлен, оплачен, скептически осмотрен и принят в семью без права голоса. Не буду утомлять его ТТХ, так как инструкцию (перекинутую в нетбук) в течении отдыха открыть не довелось. Аппарат на автомате выдавал снимки, которые удалять не было повода. У меня даже закралось подозрение, что он ко мне подлизывается и, когда нажимаю кнопку затвора один раз, этот соглядатай делает несколько снимков и лихорадочно выбирает лучший. Лесть нашла отклик и я на какое время даже почувствовал себя главой семьи. Для мотивации маленькому подхалиму в Пловдиве был куплен ярко-белый футляр. От этого выиграли все: жена выглядела стильно (хотя, казалось бы, куда же больше???), я был спокоен за него, он -за себя.Вообщем, снимки и отпуск удались. Даже на максимальном оптическом зуме (снимки). В принципе из-за зума он и выбирался из длинного списка претендентов и в финале обошёл Canon 260 тремя голосами "за" и одним "ну, как скажете" (моим).А на днях он прокололся и раскрыл всю свою сущность. Это произошло когда мы вернулись и решили таки посмотреть на большом экране видеофайлы (через HDMI). Ни ОЗОН, ни Яндекс-Маркет не предупредили нас о потрясающем качестве видео. Нет, они конечно писали о HD. Но как-то буднично...Для себя наконец-то я уяснил мысль ( о фотокамерах), которую знал всегда: лучше приобретать флагманскую модель сделанную с душой, чем ту же модель через год (пусть и дешевле) сделанную лишь по подобию.ОЗОНу дифирамбы петь не буду. Он сработал просто так, как я к этому и привык за много лет: четко и вовремя.Одно пожелание: обеспечьте наконец-то пункты выдачи маленькими прочными фирменными пакетами (формата А-3 и А-4), как было раньше, а не только огромными пакетами. Это и нам удобно носить и вам реклама.

Canon Pixma IP7250
Whilst there are many reviews of this printer, this is an update as of January 2015.
Like many others, I bought this as a replacement photo printer to the trusty old IP4500, which, although it still prints silently and rapidly, has developed a fault that only 50% of the yellow ink jet works (NOT a blockage) which causes pictures to have a cyan / blue tint. Too expensive to get a repair but kept for non photo applications.
This IP7250 is a neat unit where the paper trays have been incorporated into the body of the unit - an upper try for 4 x 6 and 7 x 5 papers/photo paper and a lower one for A4 ( paper / photo paper) which ,if you take it out and turn it over will act as a print tray for CD/DVD's.One very attractive feature is that the inks are seperate ( main black , minor black , yellow ,magenta and cyan) so that if one runs out you do not have to change all at once and even the compatible inks are available separately
Unlike the IP4500, this unit can be connected wirelessly to several computers/laptops (as well as a conventional USB direct connection cable).
The instructions for set up are clear but sadly my first unit from Amazon was faulty and it failed at the setup of the ink trays - I suspect that a mechanical shock had caused a misalignment. If you get the power light ( white) warning light ( orange) flashing alternately at set up , and it won't go away with repeating set up several times (as instructions) then return for a new one. Amazon replaced it immediately - no quibble (free delivery/collection) - and this latest unit set up perfectly. Only comment is that the ink charge cycle is so noisy compared to the IP4500.

Initial in use comments
We set up the wireless (BTHUB 3) link as per instructions and put the software (minus the image garden) on my laptop (Samsung RF711) and the wife's Acer.
There have been occasional loss of Wi-Fi linkage but I get this occasionally with the BT Hub3 as their hardware / software tends to be total junk lately. It is easy to re link - repeat as per set up instructions.
Both laptops printed reasonably well to 6 x 4 prints. You can load several 6 x 4 sheets in the cartridge at once and there is no apparent problem with the feed (contrast the A4 photo paper)
Although the colours were good some of the prints from my Samsung (printed from Microsoft picture manager) were somewhat dark and had to be adjusted. The ones from Windows picture manager on the Acer were perfect.
I also print special prints to A4 on 230gsm Canon or Epson paper. Whereas on the IP4500 ( being a top loader - a partial gravity/pull feed) you could load up several A4 photo paper sheets , the IP7250 - at least to date - is only allowing a single sheet at a time without the dreaded " paper jam " signals - which via wireless , neatly appear on the computer. Whether this will change with time remains to be seen how much an irritation it is depends as to if and how many A4 prints you make at any one time - it rather defeats the wireless advantage.
Canon inks cost more than the printer (

Thank goodness for Amazon's excellent return policy. I have regularly used Canon inkjets and was delighted with my IP4300 before that broke down. I replaced it with an IP4950 which was essentially an IP4300 with a few cosmetic alterations. Unfortunately after two years of not perticularly high useage the IP4950 broke with a terminal error (leaving me with 3 full sets of inks going to waste!). However because of the excellent print quality and basic useability of my previous inkjets I decided to go to Canon again for this purchase.

The IP7250 for me represents a truly regressive step for Canon, in particular the absence of a rear feed and the reliance now on just the two small trays at the front for feeding paper. This now means that if you want to use a non-standard sheet (in my case double sided photo paper/card for producing greeting cards) you have to go through one heck of a lot of messing about! This involves closing the flimsy front panel, removing a tray, removing the paper in the tray, putting the "one off" paper in the tray, putting the tray back in and then opeing up the front panel again.

Once you have done this you will then discover that when you choose the "duplex" option in the printer driver and choose photo paper that the "duplex" option greys out. This is because you can only use the duplex option if you are using standard paper! Choose any other type of paper and you lose the duplex option! This was not a "feature" of either of the previous models.

So to print my card I had to manually "duplex" the process which involves going through the whole process of closing panels and removing trays again and then trying to work out which way round to insert the sheet that I hade already printed one side of! Massively frustrating and time consuming!

Add to that the usual Canon "advances" of ever smaller ink cartridges, the fact that the overall footprint of the printer is considerably larger than the IP4950 and the flimsy drop down front panel and you have enough reasons to avoid this printer. However Canon printers have always been noisy and slow - but this one takes the biscuit! It takes an absolute age to ready itself to print from first turning on with seemingly endless head cleaning and other noisy operations taking place.

Don't get me wrong - the usual print and photo quality is there so if all you want is to run off a few photos or print a few documents then it is fine (so long as you can stand the waiting time and the noise). But the print quality is not significantly better than canon inkjets have been producing for several years now. The fiddly use of the thing though and the limitations of the duplexing now make this a big fat "no" for me.

Oh and if the wifi connectivity is a big thing for you, rest assured that I had no problems using that at all.

I have now purchased an excellent Brother Laser printer which I use for all of my black and white printing (it completes the job in the time it would take the IP7250 to turn on!) and am trying to obtain an old MG5350 so I can use my old ink cartridges! If not I will try an Epson 610 all in one (which also offers the cd printing of the canon which I also need)

Usually I like canon printers despite their flaws but this one somply has too many!

Background: I have a camera in my hands most of the time, though photography is not my primary profession. I currently shoot with a Canon 7D. Print quality is very important to me.The main things I shoot are church events, soccer/sports, indoor dance, landscapes, occasional weddings, home studio as well as personal/family pictures. I utilize a web site that allows me to upload and store my pictures. The web site allows me (and clients) to order prints, but it takes over a week to process and receive them. The shipping costs also tend to be significant. Local stores that do 1 hr processing don't always have the level of quality that I'm happy with and sometimes my photos get cropped in a way that I don't like.Consequently, the primary reason I purchased this printer is because I wanted to be able to print pictures and get a similar or better level of quality that I might get from a professional lab. I am typically printing 4x6 photos but also want to utilize the larger sizes for some of my landscape photography so I can print "fine art". This printer will primarily serve my personal printing needs, but I may occasionally use it to sell prints as well. In fact, prior to purchasing this printer, a profesional photographer was using this same printer "in the field" and selling prints (pictures of kids with the "easter bunny"). That helped me make my decision to go with this printer.After printing a few batches of photos, here are my general thoughts on this printer:Pros1. The prints are very good when quality is set to "high". When quality was "standard" the pictures appeared noisy/grainy and did not meet my expectations.2. When comparing to prints I order online, the quality is on par and possibly even better (when using high quality settings). When comparing to local 1 hr photos, the quality of prints seems more vivid.3. The prints that I get seem to match what my MacBook Pro displays, but they are slightly darker.4. The speed of the printer seems quite fast. I easily can batch up 20-30 4x6 prints in the tray (which probably doesn't hold much more than that) and before I know it, the prints are ready to go. I primarily use Adobe Light Room (Mac OSX - Mountain Lion) to do the printing.5. The digital manual for how to use the printer is very helpful, organized, and well written. Kudos to the technical writers.6. The bundled software, while not overly intuitive, works almost exactly the same way on both the Mac and PC. There is also a program included called "Creative Park" that appears to let you print things like calendars. However, it also says that if you use non-Canon ink you won't be able to use it. While I plan on using the Canon ink, I don't like that Canon is checking before I use a program.7. I primarily use a Mac, but sometimes need to print from the PC. I have found no difference in quality or functionality when I use the PC to print (windows 8).Cons1. The printer is quite heavy! It even had a "team lift" sticker on the box. This concern is not significant unless you plan on traveling with the printer (which I don't).2. Due to the heft, this printer literally shakes the stand when printing. Make sure you have something sturdy to set it on.3. The bundled software does not seem overly intuitive. The icon that it puts on your desktop is "in your face" and takes up a lot of screen real estate when fully expanded. I would have preferred that icon to live in the system tray.4. The ink cartridges are expensive. However, after doing research I feel that the Pro 100 was the best fit for me- I probably won't be printing more than a few hundred photos a month and preferred the vibrant colors. If I were planning on printing more, I may have opted for the Pixma 1 or 10, which should have an overall lower price per print.Other1. The initial set up of the printer took a bit of time. I spent about 20 minutes wondering why I was getting a yellow blinking light- it turns out I didn't have the lever (where the printer head sits) locked down fully. I wasn't able to locate a support phone number which was my first instinct. Fortunately, I went back and double checked everything, and then noticed that the lever was hitting the right hand side of the printer chassis. That prompted me to pull the lever down further. Once I did that, the blinking light went away and I was good to go.2. It took me a bit to figure out which tray to put the paper in. I encourage you to read the manual, which was very helpful to me. The lower bottom tray on the back is for manual feed, the higher tray toward the top is for auto feed. You also need to make sure you close the feed tray. I keep forgetting to do that, but the print driver is smart enough to know that you didn't close it and will tell you that on your computer screen.3. I need to read the manual more to figure out how to set up Wifi. I was able to get the printer working on the wired network connection just fine but WiFi configuration seems to be more difficult.SummaryWhile I've only

I'd read many reviews before purchasing this printer and I hummed and ha'd about this or the Epson R3000. Reading Amazon feedback both printers have around 10% poor feedback with support from the manufacturer also falling below expectations. I have been a customer of both Canon and Epson in the past and only ever had to consult support from Epson on the one occasion which has put me off buying Epson again. I've had a lower end pixma photo printer before which gave very convincing results even after converting to refillable ink tanks and after market inks without any issues whatsoever. Coupled with my Nikon d70s dslr I was producing some very attractive 8 x 10 prints.

Fast forward 6 years and I needed a replacement as my old canon pixma was donated to my daughter and, my current multifunction printer isn't upto the task. Unpacking the printer, removing all the protective tape, powering up the printer and installing the print head and the 10 ink cartridges took around 15 minutes, I connected the USB cable to my MacBook and installed the printer drivers and applications very easily. The one issue I had was locating the print head alignment routine on the Mac, no print head alignment occurred automatically even with paper in the sheet feeder, so I plan to perform this from a windows machine at a later date.

A test page was printed on regular printer paper to check everything was good, no issues.

I was itching to see what the print quality was like so I quickly located a photo of our Bengal cross female kitten taken recently with my 10 year old Nikon D70s dslr with a Nikon 50mm f1.4 lens. The kitten's marking consists of blacks, Browns, whites and greys running in differing directions so I was interested to see the printed result.

Inserting half a dozen sheets of canon glossy photo paper I selected print to A4 and pressed the go button, the result was simply breathtaking, her markings, the fur colour and even individual hair and whiskers all printed out beautifully, there are no issues with the print at all and I'm very happy with results so far. Next job is to finish screen calibration and get my desktop set up and get back into my lost love of photography.

After my first print out I set the wifi up which was simplicity in itself, I look forward to the forthcoming years and hope that this Canon product brings the joy and reliability of my previous Canon printer, some might say it should do at that price; but then it sits in the same bracket as my old Nikon camera as an enthusiast imaging device and I want at least enthusiast results.

This review focuses on the scanning functions of this printer. Much has been reviewed primarily about the pros and cons of printing with this printer; we will say a few words at the end. We do not use the fax function and make very few copies.Right off the bat, there are two minor problems with this unit. One, it has no surge protection (no companies seem to supply this) and the Wi-Fi function was fried by a lightening strike. The good news was that it was still under warranty and was perfectly fixed by a local Canon certified shop here in the midwest for no cost. It is now on a protector. Two, user forums are sparse and not very helpful, so if you want to do something ambitious, such as scan into MS Access for file organization, it will take you hours of reading various posts before getting close to the truth; I gave up and scan into jpeg or pdf files that I move about my storage manually.I must say that the flatbed and autofeed magazine scanners are top notch. The magazine easily accepts and scans as many as 30 pages loaded. It once 'choked' when I tried to load 39 pages. In the year that we have had this, it has only misfed two-pages-at-a-time only 2 or three times. I do not know if the autofeed scan rate is considered fast, slow or average. Sometimes I scan all day long and I just plan to do other things while it is working on a batch autofeed. Here are some scanner autofeed tricks and tips: I cannot find this mentioned anywhere, but if you want to scan multiple pages into one Adobe .pdf file, you can only do this by using autoscan and setting 'Save as Type' to 'Auto'. I can't find this mentioned anywhere in or out of the Canon literature, but any other setting, including 'PDF' will save each page as its own file. Not intuitive; go figure. The autofeed magazine will accept pages of various dimensions for one-sided scanning, up to a point. I am scanning in years of financial statements; some are 8-1/2 x 11, some have had a bottom perforated coupon removed, some are 7-3/8 x 7, some are legal size, and some are coupon size (7-3/4 x 3/3/8). There is no problem autofeeding letter, legal, and various sized pages down to about 7 or 8 inches long for one-sided scanning (not coupons-use the flatbed). You can even mix different sizes of pages and scan them as one batch into one file using the autofeeder if you remember one thing: the scanner with set the window size on the first page through and use it for all the other pages in the batch, so put your longest page on top, followed by any of the shorter pages. Using wireless autofeed, your computer screen displays a running tally of the pages scanned and you can view the scanned file upon completion and compare the number of pages scanned with the number of pages loaded, as a checksum maneuver. As I said, this machine has hardly ever fed two pages at a time. Parenthetically, one-sided autofeed accepts the 7-3/8 x 7 forms when separated from each other by letter or legal size pages, or it will scan them singly in the magazine, but trying to autofeed two or more of them together confuses the machine with paper length issue. It seems to do better on slightly longer pages (8" or longer) in a stack. This machine duplex scans using the autofeed and does an excellent job - never jams, but it will only work with standard letter-sized pages - no legal or off sizes. Finally, it must be said that the paper path of the autofeed magazine is well designed and extremely robust. One can load wrinkled and dog-eared pages into the feeder and it will process them without jamming, compared to other scanners. There are limits, of course. A nice trick that I have learned when scanning a bunch of old paper files is to use scissors to cut off the stapled corners, or paperclip distorted corners, or dogeared corners, or cut a strip off a top edge if it is mussed up and these will then go through the feeder fine - it does not need sharp corners in order to move the pages along. When you try to use a staple remover, you wind up bending the corners slightly, anyway; it is quicker just to snip it. If the top edge is distorted, you can always feed the page in using the bottom edge, but I do not like post=processing upside-down images in Adobe. I just trim the top with scissors.I noticed that if you separate small items on the flatbed when you scan, it will save them as separate image files; if they are close to one anther, they will be saved into one file.We love the print quality. We notice some minor print latency, but that is not an issue for us. We dislike the high cost of ink, and, yes, other all-in-one units get more pages per cartridge but we only buy Canon cartridges because we like quality and reliability and we believe that you pay for printing economy with unreliability in other brands of printers. This printer was a breeze to set up. We keep it on (it goes into standby) all of the time and it has never dropped a Wi-Fi connection.This reviewer does high

I like Canon products hence the reason I purchased this printer to replace my aging HP printer. All in all I'm pretty happy with the item. The setup processes was fairly straightforward, I opted for the WiFi connection option. The printer features are very good. I've not tried the disc print option yet (another reason I opted for the model). The photo printing option is very good. And if you are willing to shop around, the print cartridges don't have to cost an arm and a leg. So all in all the printer quality, design and features are very good.

That's the good stuff. Now the 2 drawbacks.

The printer connectivity only offers USB connection or WiFi. There is no option for a wired LAN connection, which is the connection I would have opted for, if it were available.

Second, and this is the big one to my mind, the printer takes forever to start up or go through it's pre-print process. For the life of me I can't understand why it does this. When you switch the printer on it does a ridiculous amount of house-keeping tasks before you can do anything. You've got enough time to go and make yourself a coffee and grab a snack, the amount of time this process takes. Although not quite as bad, it also takes a long time before it will start printing from when the print actually hits the printer. Again, it seems to go through an excessive amount of pre-print house keeping tasks before it will actually start. Once started the print process is very fast.

I contacted Canon about this problem and their response was that it was important that the printer went through both processes, not really giving a reason why, but suggested it might be alleviated by switching from WiFi to USB connection.

This is not really an option for me as I don't want to have to have a PC booted up all the time just to share the printer across my home network. So I can't say if this would actually cure this problem or not.

I've decided to live with the problem because I'm not a heavy print user, and the print quality is fine. But to someone who does a lot of printing this could be a major issue for them.

8/9/14 - Update.

Must say I've warmed to the printer a bit more now. I'm not sure if it's my imagination or not, but the time it takes to do its housekeeping tasks does seem to have reduced. I have also now tried printing direct on CD/DVD, and although the software supplied to do this is a little old-hat, the quality is fantastic.

It does eat its way through the printer cartridges a little, obviously when you are doing a lot of full colour printing, but as previously stated, with a little shopping around you can pick these up at quite a reasonable price.

I have now adjusted my original 3 stars to 4.

This review is for the Canon PIXMA MP560 Wireless Inkjet Photo All-In-One Printer/Scanner/Copy Machine.It's a nice printer, nothing too special, but it does have some quirks you should know about before you decide to purchase. To me it's not worth more than about $40 to $60 tops. See my pros and cons below for details.~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~WOULD I RECOMMEND IT?I would not go out of my way to recommend this printer, but even with all the cons I have listed I would buy it again BUT only at a dirt cheap price. And I have done this. I have purchased several at about $50 each. I keep the extras as a back up. My reasoning for buying extras was the ink included costs the same price to buy so it was like buying ink and getting a back up printer for free. And you may need back up printers. See my last "con" below for why.~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~CAUTION:At this time it's no longer made so any MP560 printer you buy will either be old stock or refurbished. Refurbished printers are also on the market due to a high quantity of machines that were discarded due to error messages. See my last "con" below for details on this issue.~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ABOUT PRICE:You should not be paying any more than about $40 to $60 for this printer as of July 2012. Yes, it comes with printer ink cartridges (about $60 worth retail) but that ink is given to you for free with your printer by the manufacturer, as a starter, so you should not expect to or have to pay any retailer more for the printer just because it contains ink cartridges. Ink is included free, this is a standard in the industry these days. The reason the price should be so low right now is because it is in fact on older model and old stock and they should all be on sale right now, as per fair market pricing, supply and demand, etc. Beware if you buy it, make sure it is returnable just in case you end up with a refurbished model that does not work. Many are refurbished due to a weird quirk, see my last "con" below for details on this issue. Make sure you get ink tanks when you purchase. If you don't that will mean the ink was taken out of the box or the printer was already used and that may mean a returned or refurbished item that is not worth full price.I purchased this from a local store when it first came out. Actually, I purchased several. One as a gift and two for myself. I learned the hard way to buy back ups just in case and in this instance it was a good idea I did. See pros and cons for the reason why.~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~SIZE:14.5" deep (not including the room you need for plug behind it)17.5" wide6.5" tall when closed (just under 6.5")18" tall when opened (just under 18")~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~PROS:> Set up was easy (with wire/cord). I know a novice computer user who is 70+ who was able to do it without any problems.> If you use high quality paper and best ink setting your prints, including photos, are fantastic.> Can be used as a copy machine. Easy to do with controls, no pc needed to just print a copy.> Ink for this printer is easy to find online and in national chain stores.> Ink tanks are easy to replace. Even for someone with slight disability in the hands.> Relatively easy to use, even for someone who is easily confused by computer stuff. I know a novice computer user who is 70+ who has no trouble using this printer for scanning and printing, or changing the ink tanks. But they have not used the image editing software so I can't vouch for that extra software that comes with it (not necessary to scan or print).> There is an option (that you can turn off) that tells you how much ink you have in each ink tank (there are five) that is displayed each time you print. Most printers have this these days, but not all.> The paper tray is on the bottom and lays flat in the tray then feeds up into the machine. Some people believe this kind of printer tray (as opposed to feeding paper from the top) is better and you get less jams. I've owned this printer for about 4 or 5 years and I use the printer a lot but I have only had one jam which was my fault for not fanning out a new stack of paper before putting it in the paper tray. Rookie mistake. Not fanning out new paper can cause jams due to paper sticking together due to moisture content and/or static electricity.> Has slots for memory cards and USB port for flash drives. This is standard in most printers these days.> When set on the high resolution settings you can get extremely clear and large details. Maximum 9600 x 2400 color dpi2. Imagine a 5x6 photo scanned - it can be blown up to a virtual size of a few feet in diameter. And if that image was originally digital the details will be fantastic.> You can adjust the scanner bed cover to accommodate books and objects to about 1.5" thick. But there is a con to the cover too, see below.> Scans quickly, after the first scan and the bed has warmed up. All scanners have a warm up cycle. Some reviewers say it scans slowly but I found the scanning to be fast enough so I don't get impatient.> All controls are hidden under a

This printer is an amazing piece of kit. If you have the money and are debating between this and the Pro 9500 mkII, what you need to decide is how important black and white photography is for you. From the 9500 mkII, you'll get mostly similar results (Canon claims better skin tones from the Pro-1 as well) from all but the black and white. If black and white is what you print most, the question is simple... get the Pro 1. Of course, the extra inks also help with color as well, but the difference will mostly be in the B&W arena. Comparing the prices, you may actually be better off over all to purchase the Pro 1 (based on MSRP)Setup -This printer is MASSIVE. Before you buy, ensure you have somewhere to place a 27" x 9.5" x 18.5" printer. And because the paper is rear fed, you will need some extra breathing room in the back of the printer as well.This printer doesn't just have a large footprint, it's also heavy. Shipping weight is 75 pounds and full loaded, removed from the shipping materials, you're still looking at 68-70 pounds. Ensure the table you set this on will handle it.In regards to actual configuration, setup is a snap. It just takes a long time, so be prepared to consume an hour or more of time unboxing, installing cartridges and print head and then installing the printer software.Make sure you have a friend or helper to remove this from the box. It's not too heavy for one person, but the length and overall size makes it difficult for a single person.Ensure you follow the directions for installing the cartridges. It's pretty simple, but they have some guidelines you will want to follow, such as not touching the contacts and shaking the tanks.The other piece to be careful with is the print head. They really go out of their way to make sure you know not to bump it, shake it or touch the contacts. They are also very specific about not shaking it or any other jarring type actions. This is understandable since this is where the magic is performed.Installing the software, which requires a fair amount of space (500-700 MB), takes time but is also fairly simple. Next. Next. Next. Done.Print Quality -I can only compare to a Canon Pixma MP990 for quality as it is the only Canon printer I own. Compared to the top end consumer model from 2-3 years ago (2010 model), this printer is much higher quality and even with the same photos and photo paper (Pro Platinum and Photo Paper Plus Semi-gloss), the results are much closer, I would say nearly exact, to what I see on my calibrated monitor. I might try to calibrate both printers, though I don't own such a device at this time so I cannot compare them side by side with calibration.Other Notes -The other very important thing to remember is that the ink for this printer is quite expensive. For a full set of ink, you are looking at an MSRP of about $330. That might seem over inflated given that a full set for the 9500 runs around $130-$150. So this one is more than double that price. The thing you have to keep in mind is that the $330 MSRP involves 4 extra tanks AND the size on these new cartridges is said to be 150% larger, meaning more prints per cartridge, which means it's probably a little BETTER in pricing for the equivalent Pro 9500 mkII.The other thing to know is that out of the box, the printer will consumer roughly 25% of the ink for print head priming and printer alignment. There isn't anything you can do to fix this, so if you plan to print a lot, you might want to purchase an extra set, just in case.Pros:Print lab quality printsFantastic B&W performanceOut of box color very closely matches calibrated screenCons:Ink price seems expensive (though not too bad when you consider how much ink you are buying)Big and heavy (again, you have to know what you are buying)In conclusion, if you can afford this printer and the ink, I do not believe you will be disappointed. Canon support is nothing short of extremely helpful. I haven't used them on this printer, as I've only had it a week or so, but past experience with them has left me appreciating their support.Worth the money for those with the need.UPDATE Nov 5, 2012- I am now at a point that I have to start buying ink tanks for this printer. The problem is, they are running out in 1 to 3 tank increments. This means that I can't print right now because 1 tank is showing empty. I had 3 I needed to order on Friday. I replaced those, to be greeted with needing this one that's out now, which tells me that when this new one shows up, I'l likely need 2-3 more. I think I may just order them all now and say forget it, just so I can get back to printing. These are still the same tanks from the initial printer setup, and according to Canon they won't last long because they prime the printer using this ink. I've gotten probably 30 prints out of it total. Of course, several of those were on 13x19 prints. If I only get 30 prints per tank set, I am definitely getting rid of this printer, despite the amazing results. It would prove way

Now don't get me wrong, I can't criticise the quality of prints, the only reason for 4 stars is the price. Why can our cousins across the Atlantic buy this for $89 but we pay over 300 quid?
Enough of that - what about the printer. I had an old and venerable Epson 1290 which had given decent service but suffered from regular blocked jets - the curse of Epson printers of that era. In the end it was a blocked jet that did for it. I spent a lot of money on what proved to be quack remedies and a lot if time on various 'cures' from internet forums - to no avail.
After a lot of research I decided to go for a value for money option - a blend of print quality, flexibility and especially price. I looked at everything from the Canon Pro-1, Epson R3000 and pretty much every 'enthusiast' A3 photo printer there is. The pigment vs dye debate rages on - pigment lasts longer, dye gives more intense colour and so on. In the end I decided to go for a dye printer as the inks have improved massively in the last 20 years and have more than acceptable longevity even if pigment offers the promise of an even longer life.
What cemented this choice? Well there are numerous truly independent reviews of the printer out there and all are very complimentary. Then there's the ink costs - good sized tanks available at under a tenner each online and occasionally a few individual tanks a lot less than that. And finally at 300 quid with a cashback offer soon after the printer was launched it was only a couple of pounds more than the old Epson 1290.
So what's the conclusion? Well I have to say I am not disappointed in any way. It's a massive machine and appears to be extremely well built. There are some great touches like the flashing LEDs that show you which ink tank to replace. The printhead is separate and replaceable (though I don't know the cost). I use Lightroom and after a bit of juggling I get print output very well matched to the monitor. Black & white output is a bit fiddly. The printer can't be set to use just the back, grey and light grey inks - apparently they are not truly neutral. However the driver (and Lightroom plug-in) allow you to tune the output to warmer/cooler and to run a single print with many variations so you can pick exactly the right tone for each shot.
I could go on a lot more - there are many papers out there with dedicated profiles for the Pro-100. The Permajet ones come from target prints made on my printer - so I know they're a good match! Ink usage has proven to be very well controlled - this printer does a lot less 'purging' than many others, and the ink levels shown in the driver are very accurate.
All-in-all I am extremely satisfied and don't regret my purchase for a minute

The quality of the prints out of this printer is fantastic. Rich blacks, even grey tones, even color gradations with no banding, fine details, everything I've thrown at this printer it has done well!I've been looking at pigment printers for a while now. My biggest motivation has been that when visiting galleries and art shows notice is being given to prospective purchasers that the prints have been made with archival pigment inks. My work has risen to that level, and though it may be fine to hang a print on my own wall and reprint it as needed, if somebody is going to pay good money for a print they want it to last. I've sent a lot of work out to be printed, but sometimes the quality has to suffer a bit when I can't crop the print exactly as desired, the brightness and contrast are a little off, or the colors are just not quite what I envisioned, this printer solves all of those problems.I've spent two full days printing on a variety of media; glossy, lustre, photo rag, and metallic and they all look marvelous. It was very easy to get exactly the looks I wanted with little fiddling as the colors match like I haven't seen before, and I was using custom created profiles for each paper type with my Canon Pro 9000 Mark II. That printer is quite good, but this one blows it away. I've never seen my B&W prints look so good outside of a darkroom, subtle small differences in clouds, for example, come out just perfect, and black is really black.To the details: It took me about two hours total to set up the printer and start using it. You really need help to lift this monster, it weighs about 60 pounds. I just glanced at the getting started instructions, everything is pretty straight forward, pull off all of the orange tape strips that secure everything, install the twelve ink tanks, and the print head. Turn it on and it primes the head, then just hook up the USB cable and print. I also installed the software that came with the printer, found out later that it is really not necessary, I'm just printing through Photoshop CS6. The driver is much improved from the version I have been using, it now correctly allows you to choose color matching and media types. I'm using OSX Lion by the way. I did try the print software that came with the printer, I can see how it might be useful for those without PS, it allows for a lot of the same options, but will not print from a PSD file, so it has to be saved as a JPEG first. It also has some layout functions that some people may find useful, I tend to just print one print per page. One thing that I haven't had to do yet is to print a clear coat over sections of a print or even over the whole print, there are options to do that, but as hard as I've looked, I can't see any unevenness or bronzing on my prints.The printer takes about 8 minutes to print a 13"X19" borderless print, 6-1/2 for an 11"X14". Part of that may be the slow USB2 connection, I have yet to try the Ethernet connection. As far as ink usage goes, about 25% of the ink tanks are used to prime the print head. I've printed about 25 4X6, 10 5X7, 10 8X10, 5 11X14, and 5 13X19 prints since then and the ink levels do not seem to have dropped any further. The ink cartridges are unique, they look like an 8-track tape that plug into the front of the printer, with a verification light to tell you the right one is in the right spot. I don't see how you could possibly refill them. When I was printing large quantities of signs and posters I refilled cartridges as a normal course, since I've transitioned to quality over quantity I've just stuck with Canon ink and paper, with the exception of RedRiver metallic paper and Epson Luster paper. I never really got the quality I was looking for with third party ink, too much variance between suppliers and even from batches from the same supplier. (I spent a lot of time creating profiles using Spyder Print.) After I run through some ink tanks I'll update this review to try and express some kind of idea of print cost. One thing I do to mitigate that is to print on 4X6 until I get the brightness and color balance for the environment right, and then go ahead and print bigger sizes.This is the fourth Canon printer I've owned in the past 10 years. I tried a couple of other brands, but was really put off by inaccurate and finicky paper handling and the awful problem of clogged pint heads. In all fairness, I destroyed 2 of the printers using them in a high volume fashion with cheap ink. The Pro 9000 Mark II I've had for 2-1/2 years now with no problems, and if anything this one is made even better, it is solid throughout.I can really see this printer improving my work, to the point where I'm now going to be able to confidently sell prints, no longer being at the mercy of print labs in achieving a perfect finished product. Yes, the printer is expensive, too expensive for most people's daily work. However, if you really want prints you can sell, display in galleries and

Bought this afternoon in a shop in town. As soon as I got it home I installed the driver software from the CD onto an iMac running OSX 10.6.8. Within half an hour we were printing text and photos. No complaints at all. The driver/printer interface was completely logical, text printing is very good, and the photos it prints are as good, or better, than what we can get printed in town at any photographers.
However we actually bought this printer for an old eMac G4 that my wife uses to print photos of her watercolours. This computer is the only Mac we know that can switch between systems 9 and 10 - And the ability to still use system 9 is important to us because it is a link back to our applications and our old digital archives of 25 years ago that we can't open on system 10.
Sadly, the software that came with the Canon 7250 would not work on System 10.4 (which must be too old a system (or maybe it was the G4 chip that was too old. Maybe the driver needed an Intel chip)). Anyway, I hunted through the Canon site on-line looking for a driver that would work with 10.4 I found one called mepe-mac-4_1_6-ea11.dmg, but could not get it to work.
Working down the Google page I then came to the "Printfab" site. They seemed to have a "Swiss Army knife type of application that carried numerous drivers for all sorts of printers. System 10.4 was on their list, together with the Canon iP7250, so I downloaded "printfab-2.61.dmg" on a free 30 day trial. I installed it on the eMac and it worked perfectly - pages of text and pictures galore, with no problem.
In a month's time, if we are still using this printfab dfriver we will have to pay a 49 euros licence fee to them in Germany, but it will be worth it.
Maybe this info is of help to others who still needs to use older software and Mac operating systems to access old documents and archives.
Regarding the printer itself, I don't like it being black but that's my only complaint (apart from the generally universal gripe about the cost of inks). Mechanically it seems solid enough to last for years.
Some reviewers have complained of the noise it makes but either they have super-efficient ears or we got a quiet one - it clicks and whirs when it is working, but the sound is pleasant.
Other good points are ... We really like the way you can put your A4 letter paper in one tray under the machine, and the glossy photo paper in a second tray, also under the machine. This way they are out of sight, out of the light and out of the dust.
Also we like the fact that the front delivery door can be kept closed, and it opens itself automatically during printing to form a tray for the printed sheets or photos.
These are first impressions - time will tell - but for the price it is hard to find better value. So far we like it better than the Canon 5200 it replaces, and that was very good.

I will write this review from my current learning perspective and will update it as I learn and get better. I am an engineer and like the challenge of figuring out new projects. I build computers as a hobby. I research online extensively and read professional as well as end user reviews.I ordered this printer after reading the other reviews. The professional reviews were probably the real sell.... I wanted lab type quality. I like the chroma optimizer feature and the large ink tank size. I also preferred the faster speed rating than the PRO-10. I also considered the PRO-100, but then decided on this. Amazon has a good comparison page between the 3. My motivation is that I have a 6 month old daughter and want to capture pictures of her as she grows up.Receiving the printer by UPS was exciting. The driver asked for help to carry it in and there are "2 man lift" stickers on the box!! The printer is very large and heavy, but I did not have any problem moving it around. I was unable to find a suitable table for it so I've decided to build my own table. This is not out of frustration, or necessary, I could have made it work fine. It is just another project. However, a standard printer table will not work for this printer.Setup is very simple by my standards, but a bit more complicated than just plugging in a USB cable. There are 12 ink tanks that need to be installed as well as the print head itself. None of this is too difficult. If you can replace ink in an inkjet, you can set up this printer. The ink tanks click in place and each has a red LED that turns on when correctly in place. Everything is clearly labeled so the correct ink tank goes in the correct slot. The printer goes through a priming cycle that consumes about 25% of the ink. Given the price of ink this is a bit alarming, but it is necessary since the ink is transferred to the print head by tubing instead of resting on the printhead itself. The benefit is that a larger ink tank is possible. I have not verified, but my estimate based on reading multiple reviews is that each 8.5x11 print consumes roughly $1 in ink. Best price online is currently just over $300 with free shipping for a complete set of ink tanks. (google shopping for the best price) However, you will likely never replace all ink tanks at any given time. This printer does not have wireless, unlike the lower two models. This was a bit surprising to me, but i just hard wired it to my router without any issue. I can't airprint to it, but don't really think i want to print to this printer from my iPad. My workflow is DSLR to Photoshop to print. The software detects the printer on your network automatically so a network installation adds zero complexity to thebsetup process. From unboxing to first print is slightly less than 2 hours.My first prints were fairly dark. This is because my monitor was set very bright and brings up a common challenge in digital photography. The monitor must match the prints. I was able to correct this by adjusting my video driver to tune down my monitor a bit and then I used a manual setting on the print driver to increase intensity and increase contrast. Intricate control over color is also possible but I have not done much of it yet.If you buy this printer you probably have a DSLR and several lenses. I highly recommend that you add a color spectrometer to your kit. After my typical amount of research I have ordered the x-rite ColorMunki and Color Passport. This is another review, but the goal is to match camera, monitor, and printer perfectly. Therefore, no wasted prints, better prints, and an overall more satisfying experience. I have produced some great images without this, but am looking forward to the spectrometer.So, that's all for now... Hopefully it was helpful.UPDATE - I have now calibrated my setup perfectly and everything prints out as expected, which is very nice. I think you can get good prints without this because the print driver has many customization options, but it will require a lot of test prints and never be truly optimized.Can't say more about the print quality. Images are excellent. The only drawback I can think of is the price of the ink. Wishing there was a good way to just refill the ink tanks.

I've had the PIXMA MP495 for a little over a year now and the printer has been serving me just fine. It prints the same as it did the first day I got it, which is great. The features are also decent, but I have found some flaws that should be taken into account when deciding whether or not to purchase this printer.Features:This printer has pretty much all the features you could ask for in an inkjet of this price point. The WiFi is great and means you don't have to have your computer close to the printer at any point. It's an all-in-one so you can scan, copy, and print, which is great. A feature I would have liked is duplex printing, which is available in other inkjets around this price point and is great for saving paper. Also, a more comprehensive information display on the printer would be appreciated. The print speeds are also good and I find that I never really have to wait over a minute for documents to complete printing. Also, copying from the device is easy and fast.Set-up:Set up on this printer is not the easiest. If you choose to not use the WiFi feature you can just plug the printer in to your computer and it will work fine, but setting up the WiFi isn't the easiest task and I went through at least five attempts until I finally got it working. After initial set-up it works fine.Printing:The print quality on this printer is great and I really like the fact that you can do border-less photo prints. I've noticed that in most cases the quality of the photos I print is better than that of cheap printing services at Walmart and Walgreens, but it does use a lot of ink. Document printing is also very good quality. I find that if you put the printer into fast draft mode when printing documents you can save yourself a lot of ink and there really isn't that great of a noticeable difference. I've noticed that printing documents only I can get around 100 more pages in on a single ink cartridge if I'm printing fast draft, but of course you won't want to use it if you are printing photos.Scanning:Scanning on this printer is quite difficult. I've set it up with WiFi on multiple computers and on some the scanning is set up over WiFi, whereas on others it simply won't detect the scanner over WiFi. You can use the scanner over USB, and I find that may be the better option if you don't find yourself scanning a lot. As for the quality, it really depends on the software you are using. If you use the software that Canon provides on the installation disc, scans look great, but if you try to use the default Windows software for scanning, the scans will look horrible. Copying from the actual printer works fine.Ink cost:You can usually find the cartridges for this printer at under $20 each, but prices are constantly fluctuating. As for the amount of prints that you get per cartridge, it really depends on what you are using it for. If you are mostly printing documents and you use fast-draft, you get a ton of prints. If you print photos, you're going to get under 100. Also, don't rely on the ink indicator on the printer or on your computer. I've found that after it tells me that the cartridge is empty, I can still get at least 100 pages in. I would suggest waiting until print quality starts to deteriorate and then changing the cartridges. Also, go for the XL cartridges. They're more expensive, but I've found that I can get almost double the prints while the price is only a few dollar higher. As this is an inkjet, prints are going to be more expensive, but that's what you get with a cheap printer.Conclusion:Overall, this is a great printer. There are newer models out on the market right now for similar prices, so I would probably suggest those over this printer. Print quality is good, but scans are ridiculous and unusable most of the time, and quality really depends on what type of software you use. Also, cost per print is relatively high if you are printing color prints, but decent if you only print a few documents each week. If you're going to be printing a lot, get a laser. Reliability is great; I've been using the printer for over a year and it still works great. I give it four stars because the scanner is awful, and that's probably a feature that's important for someone buying an all-in-one.

Yes it's big, but put it on a table with wheels and it's easy to move about when needed. The main point is of course, how does it perform.

It is easily the best printer I have bought/used too date. You can either just print a picture off quickly using the simple settings of the programme, or go deeper into the programme and adjust too your hearts content whatever settings you wish, for that particular picture.

I use only the simple method (paper size, paper quality etc.) as any picture adjustments are already done in paint shop etc. The results are terrific. You get what is shown on the computer screen (in my case anyway)

You can adjust your screen to show exactly what a print will look like (you can do this for any printer using screen profiles) but this can take hours to set-up (I tried it) and the result was what I call 'more accurate mistakes'. Let me explain.

You download a profile for any given monitor that you are using, you then spend hours trying to get the screen to what you think looks right for any given picture at that time of day (daylight/evening room lighting conditions) then you print the picture and end up with a picture that may only look right in good/bad lighting. If you use two (or more) monitors like I do, good luck trying to get them to look the same if they are different makes/models.

As I have said, I just use the one monitor WITHOUT using a profile and print using the 'quick and easy' method i.e. right click on a picture/print/choose a printer/paper size/print quality/paper type/print. It really can be that easy to use this printer, or any printer come too that. If you use profiles' and they work for you, then good. I found them a major hassle at the end of the day so I stopped using them. I still get fab images anyway so maybe I just got lucky with my set-up.

I have used my pro 100 to print off in A4/A3/A3+ sizes and the results have always been brilliant. I compared a picture of a red flower (complete with bee) to one I had printed by one of the web companies, and the quality is far superior with the pro 100. Talk about 'chalk and cheese'. The web version was shown to be a complete waste of my money.

The 'web' version is dull and lack lustre, with the pro 100 version looking as it should have i.e. a picture taken on a very sunny day, with bright colours/vibrancy/detail showing in the petals and on the bee itself. I used a canon 6D/16-35mm 'L' lens to take this particular picture, with the printed result on the pro 100 looking like it does on my screen.

Other pictures look just as good, but until you hold an A3+ size print in your hands, you cannot imagine the impact a good quality picture of this size makes. You will want to re-print ALL of your best pictures (then run out of wall space pretty quickly)

The pro 100 is the 'basic' model canon make for photography users, so the other two more expensive models with 10 and 12 ink cartridges respectively, should produce even better images. They cost a lot more. but if you can afford/justify the extra, go for one of them. Be aware however that the PRO 10 model seems to produce images darker than you might see on the screen (so I have read in an independent review) so what is going on with that model is anybody's guess. If someone knows why/knows the cure, please feel free to share the info with everyone else.

the ink levels last quite a long time on the pro 100, but the top of the range version (pro 1) has very large ink tanks compared and should last a lot longer. The ink costs over

We've had a Canon MX860 for three years. It died and was too costly to fix. That multi-function printer served us very well for three years during which time we used it quite a lot due to home schooling, and running a ministry which required quite a bit of printing each week. We appreciated all the functions, especially the duplex printing which saved paper and made our handouts smaller and less bulky. We often used the feeder to make double sided copies. We just won't buy a printer that is missing the duplex feature. The printer worked like a charm for tens of thousands of copies with perhaps two or three paper jams over the entire three years. So when it died we were happy to seek out a similar printer from Canon.The MX870 would have been the closest match to the now obsolete MX860, but for just a few dollars more this MX882 had a few features we liked, such as higher resolution printing and scanning, and faster throughput. This MX882 looks almost identical to the MX860 except the old one was silver and this one is shiny black. It doesn't matter to us much because it is in a slide out drawer in a cabinet. But those who will have it out where it is exposed the black might be a fingerprint magnet.Strangely when connecting it to our home WiFi network it gave me two choices, Easy Setup or Other Setup. I tried Easy Setup which asked me to input the password; a bit tedious of a process. But the Easy Setup failed. So I tried the Other Setup which used the automatic feature of my wireless router and it worked quickly and easily. Turns out the Other Setup was easier than the Easy Setup.I found the operation of the MX860 to be slightly easier to use than the new MX882 but they are very similar so this is no big deal. To me there is just a little confusion over the addition of the new Dual Function Panel, and the absence of the 2-sided button.We don't print photos often which it turns out is one of the great strengths of this printer. I loaded the Canon print app on my iPod Touch. It immediately and automatically found the MX882. I picked a photo and sent it to the printer. Using the supplied Canon photo paper, the photo from my iPod Touch printed out quickly. I was stunned by how great the photo came out. The colors are great and it is sharp and with high contrast. The photo is as good as anything I've seen come from a lab (and photography is one of my hobbies).A negative aspect of this and the older printer we had is they both will use color ink when printing greyscale. This is a waste of ink and money. We dealt with this issue on the older printer, and user comments about the MX882 indicated the same problem exists here. We just lived with it though because these printers just have too many other great features that we want.Another comment about ink is when printing greyscale, or copying or printing anything that is truly just black and white like a Word document, the large black cartridge is used along with the Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow, but the little back cartridge isn't used. For a while we were buying the ink multipacks with the four small tanks but we had to stop and buy individual color ink cartridges. The small black was not often being used and they were piling up in our ink storage box.I can't add anything about the FAX feature. On the older printer we did use the fax sparsely and it worked fine with our traditional Verizon and AT&T phone lines. However when we switched to VOIP using the Ooma Telo system (super cheap and it works great) I never could get the FAX to work well. Further I think the printer was interfering with our voice calls, causing them to drop. So, as we have little reason to fax out, and most people can email instead of fax, we just ignored this function. We don't run the phone through the printer so it won't interfere with our VOIP. I don't consider this a Canon problem but rather a VOIP issue.It is clear that this printer is faster than the MX860, and I suppose the MX870, because I have printed quite a number of copies of single sided sheets and a bunch of duplex tow sided sheets which perhaps 20-25% faster.Overall we are very pleased with our purchase. It is the only printer in operation in our house with a total of four computer using it.We go through a 5,000 sheet box of paper about every six months so it is in heavy demand. We use the automatic feeder often which works flawlessly. As I indicated we also print about 1/2 our material in duplex which makes a more professional look to our handouts for the ministry, and saves paper.Some added comments April 23,2012.For a printer that (on Amazon) advertises that it can make two sided copies from two sided originals it isn't easy to use. The MX860 had a key marked 2-Sided. The MX882 has the two sided control buried in the Print Settings menu.Oh and the instruction booklet is one of the worst I've seen.

We bought this printer because we wanted an all-on-one that could scan, print documents, print photos, and do everything wirelessly. The first thing I'll say about this printer is that a lot of the time it's great. This might be surprising to hear in a 3 star review, but read on. The times and reasons it's not great are worth paying attention to. So let's get to the useful stuff.PROS:*As I recall it was relatively inexpensive for the feature set you get. You have a wide range of functionality that pretty much covers everything you might need to do as an average home user.*The photo print quality is very good. The colors are vibrant but not oversaturated, and the resolution is basically what you'd see by taking your photos to walmart for printing.*The auto-duplexing (printing on both sides of the page without your help) feature is very convenient. It does significantly slow down the print time, though, since regardless of the amount of ink used (i.e. photo vs. light text) the printer waits a particular amount of time to "allow the ink to dry" before printing the other side.*Canon Customer service was very helpful while the printer was under warrantee, and was not afraid to send out replacement parts.*The scanner/copy function is intuitive and works well. The software interface, while at times a bit counterintuitive, does the job with fairly minimal headache.*The ink is really easy to change.Now to the part relevant to the review's title:CONS:* Faulty print head: We discovered soon after we received the printer that when printing black text, it wasn't truly black, but a dark red-brown color. We noticed, really, because the color ink reserves were going down even though we weren't printing anything in color. I messed with all sorts of settings, tweaked all sorts of properties, but to no avail. So I called canon customer service, and they sent out a new print head. We put it in, and it didn't fix the problem. So they sent another one, and this time, it worked: black text was actually black. Problem solved, right? Well...not entirely. Next point:* Uses color ink when printing black and white. Even after we had a new and apparently functional print head finally installed in the printer, the color reserves were still going down. I called canon again, and in the end, the customer service rep told it to us straight: the printer is designed to use a small amount of color ink every time you print, even when printing in black. His stated rationale was that "it keeps the ink cartridges from drying out." The result of this is essentially that if you print 1 color photo and the entire rest of the time you own the printer you only print black and white documents, you will have to replace EVERY color cartridge multiple times. That might be how they offset the cost of offering a printer like this for the price they do. Who knows.* Wireless functionality is flaky: If you want to use this printer wirelessly, I have one word of caution for you: NEVER use the USB interface on the printer. For some reason, after that mistake, I was never able to get the printer to reliably show up on the network. I've had to regularly delete and reinstall the printer on my computers in order to print, because it sometimes just stops working. The printer is on, the ink is there, but the computer says that it's "offline."CONCLUSION:The Canon MP560 is a really great printer in many ways. It's got all the functionality a home-user needs, some cool features like auto-duplexing and wireless networking, and for all of that, it isn't (initially) all that expensive. However, *I can't personally recommend it*. The fact that it uses as much COLOR ink as it does when printing nothing but BLACK is really inexcusable. We've paid out the nose for all the magenta, yellow, and cyan that we've never really used. I can imagine that someone who prints a LOT of color might really like the printer, since the quality is good and the ink is easy to change, but if you're planning on printing mostly black and white with the occasional color something, then I would seriously consider spending my money elsewhere.

I have been using an iP5000 for several years now and it was absolutely superb. I then foolishly “tried out” a set of compatible cartridges and destroyed it. Print head blocked up irretrievably. So I bought the 7250 to replace it. Sadly, it’s not a patch on the 5000. Every time I use this printer it has to go through a cleaning cycle, even if the settings are adjusted to prevent auto-shutdown.

Pros: print quality is very good as usual for Canon; good price – much cheaper than my old 5000; XL cartridges are available to reduce costs.

Cons: quite slow especially when it goes through clean cycle; paper register (alignment) is very hit and miss; I used to use the second cassette on my 5000 for 220x110 envelopes (an industry standard size) but they don’t fit; and the clean cycle takes soooo long.

I’ve also learnt my lesson and will stick to OEM cartridges in future.

I considered connecting via wifi but there is a warning somewhere, either on the canon instructions or on my virgin router, that says connecting it using the preferred method may disable any other wifi items in use and prevent their subsequent use. As this could be a potential problem for me (I connect five or six devices wirelessly) I opted for USB connection, although I may have a go at wireless in the near future.

Overall I think the printer is reasonable in use and that the price is also acceptable. I’m just disappointed that there is no direct replacement for my old iP5000.

its a good printer, nice clear colours and not as slow as some people have stated. It does chug quite a bit when turned on and after printing though. I found wifi set up really easy on main desktop PC, and then added 2 laptops with no problems, so I'm not sure why so many people are having trouble. I haven't set up any smart phones on it though.
The cd printer is good but its a bit of a faff and I would recommend finding a youtube video to see how the tray works cos its not as straight forward as loading a cd into tray, you have to find the thing in the first place (under the top drawer where the photo paper goes) then put the cd into it, then you have to send the print job from the PC and wait for it to get ready BEFORE you put the cd and tray into the slot. (actually, that sounds more complicated than it is)
The only downside to this printer is the awful software "my image garden". I am shocked at just how bad it is! After struggling with it for 2 days I have uninstalled it all and just installed the drivers, and went to the canon website to get "cd label print" from the drivers and support section which works perfectly for my needs, and I would recommend everyone else does as well. As far as photo or document printing goes, I think you can probably just carry on whatever you are using now.

I would give this printer 5 stars but "my image garden" is just that bad! in fact, I would have given it 5 stars if the software hadn't been included at all!

I'm writing this review as a warning to potential buyers, because no other reviews on this Amazon site (nor most of the so-called professional review sites) mention this major design flaw in the PIXMA PRO range (including the PRO-1 and PRO-10).

I don't own this printer, but I nearly did......until I discovered that A3+ is limited to plain paper, plus the following Canon papers:

Photo Paper Pro Platinum
Photo Paper Plus Glossy II
Photo Paper Plus Semi-gloss
Matte Photo Paper

If you want to use any other papers, including other Canon papers; Museum Etching paper, Photo Rag, etc, then you're limited to a 35mm border on your paper. This will also apply to Epson, Ilford, PermaJet, Hahnemühle or ANY other third party photo paper.

Using these type of papers, the maximum print size is 10.82 x 16.24 on a 13 x 19 sheet.
Nor can you alter this limitation using custom settings (despite what the Canon manual indicates).

Here are links to two of the sites that discuss the 35mm margin problem in-depth (it looks like the entire PRO-range has this problem):

[...]

[...]

Here's what seems like confirmation from Canon themselves that the problem exists (from the canonrumours thread):

"....I was so convinced this had to be wrong that I called the Pro Series support department and talked to two different people. The first one insisted that there had to be a way around this. The second one took the time to contact an engineer to confirm that, no, there was no way around it."

......

The PRO-1 and PRO-10 also have this problem:

Here's some quotes from a review (by a highly respected British review site) of the PRO-1, also stating that the PRO-10 has the same problem:

"When I looked at the Canon 9500 Mk2 printer, the biggest issue for me was the huge top and bottom margins imposed on some media types.

Unfortunately this feature persisted into the PRO-1 and now the PRO-10. "

[...]

......

Here's a review of the PRO-100 from Amazon.com that mentions the problem and a work-around solution:

"Last thought on the Canon 13x19 printers, all of them: Canon imposes a 35mm border when you use fine art photo rag paper, it's their way of "ensuring" that the paper won't cause problems being that type of fine art paper tends to curl up. So they actually stop you from printing on the whole paper! Goofy. Here's how you get around that: in the print driver, select A3 13x19 Matte Paper regardless of what fine art rag you use. Canon will think you are using a flat coated matte paper. Then in Photoshop or whatever you use, select your paper profile there for the paper you'll really use, and you'll be able to print nearly full page with the standard

Only had it for a day.....but it was easy to setup and works.
Having just thrown away another Epson I vowed I would never buy another one.
So this is my first canon and the cheapest one in the range.
I don't print every day.......but I do want a reliable printer.
I don't need wireless so I opted for the USB connection ( I do prefer hard wired solutions)
and it works well.
The print quality is fine......as is the copy facility and the scanning.
Take your time and follow the instructions and its all pretty easy to install the software from the provided cd.

All manufacturers try and bundle their own "bloat ware" and canon like the others want you to use a load of library products and other bits of rubbish...which is a waste of time if like many people you use Picasa or another system already........so I choose not to install the stuff.
Its my experience that its only a matter of time before any printer goes wrong....they have minds of their own...my old IT manager said to me ......when they go wrong throw them away and get a new one.
I have thrown away so many Epsons over the years......my last started chewing up paper before it even printed.....the canon is at least not doing this at the moment.
There do not seem to be "cheap" cartridges for this model but they are not too expensive and a much larger than others I have tried.
The black is a very large cartridge and as I'm copying letters etc. and not printing colours pics much that seems to suit me .

No doubt this will be going down the tip sooner or later..but so far so good.

I bought this to replace a horrible HP all-in-One wireless printer that was a pig to set up each time the wireless settings changed and had hopeless support from HP. I swore I would ditch it and so replaced it with the Pixma iP7250. The Canon is very slow in configuring itself, although spits out a print quickly. I plan to use it for printing DVD faces. The supplied Canon software (nearly half a Gig) is bloatware and a bit disfunctional. On a Mac I decided not to install it. The CD that comes with the Canon is merely a link to an online download! (what a waste).

CD/DVD printing is very slow. The Image Garden software is cheap looking and aimed at home users with loads of presets.. all valueless unless you are printing a CD for a 5 year old. I planned to use Photoshop for image designs for CD faces - and that took some work to configure. It will print from Photoshop and you will have to manually specify the CD tray J and your own settings. It will insist that you close the feed flap before pressing print. Only then will it do its preamble and set up for CD print - and after 40 seconds or so it will then prompt you to lower the flap, insert the cd tray then press resume. This makes multiple CD prints a very slow affair... possibly only one every 3 minutes.

After my Canon ip4300 just decided to give up the ghost and not power up i decided to go for another Canon as i got plenty of use from the ip4300 and it was a good work horse. Wanted the disc printing facility so this little baby fits the bill. Reasonably priced, look nice, a lot slimmer than the ip4300 and sits on the desktop just nicely.Also liking the way the paper trays that all the paper whether it be plain paper of photo glossy paper are both situated under the printer out of sight, just keeps things tidy to the eye. The quality of print is to be as expected from Canon, no issues there at all. Two little gripes.... ( here we go i hear you say ) When wanting to print a disc you have to wait till the printer and software are ready before you can even pull down the front slider to insert the disc holder. I think this has to be done every time a new disc needs printing, bit of a tedious operation. Also for some reason, my ip4300 did the same... it seems to take an eternity for the printer to prep itself ever time it is switched on, it whirls and rolls and clunks then eventually it wants to play nicely. If you can get over these little prepping rituals, the Canon ip7250 seems a good buy.

I wanted an additional colour printer because I am using cheap inks in my existing Canon and, although they give good results, they are not archive quality, and I print photos for family albums that I want to last a long time. So I purchased the iP7250 because the price was reasonable, I can fit it with Canon archive inks, and it had a lot of good reviews here on Amazon. And, of course, I am familiar with and very happy with my past and existing Canon inkjets.

I have read most of the reviews already posted for this printer, including all the one and two star reviews, and was a little perturbed at some of the comments.

I ordered this printer from Amazon Spain at 3 p.m. and it arrived the following day at 10 a.m. Even for Amazon, that has got to be a record! I unpacked it and followed the simple Quickstart sheet instructions. It carried out a perfect test print. I inserted the supplied CD into my Mac and followed the on-screen instructions, connecting the supplied power lead and the USB cable, both of which were of quite sufficient length. The software downloaded and it registered on my Mac without a hitch. It printed perfectly. I then set it up to print from both computers on my local network. Again, it set up without a hitch and worked perfectly. Several reviewers commented on the noise. It is the quietest printer I have, but then I am used to Canons and they do chunter a bit when they are head cleaning. You want a good result, your machine cleans your heads - that's what you would expect from a quality colour printer. This is my fifth printer and by far the easiest to set up. I am at a loss to understand why some reviewers found this a problem - it could hardly be easier.

As with all Canon Pixmas, the quality is excellent. The total cost of the five cartridges is a little expensive but I want archive quality and I expect to have to pay for that. My other Canon will use cheap inks for day-to-day colour use.

So, for a very reasonable outlay I now have an archive colour printer, a day-to-day colour printer and, to keep the cost down, a Brother Laser black and white printer, all connected to my two Mac computers and working well.

I find this Canon iP7250 an excellent machine in every respect and is highly recommended.

I bought this Pixma ip7200 to replace an ip4600 which suddenly succumbed to ink blockages, disappointing as it was less than 5 years old. For the price it seemed an absolute bargain, less than I paid for the last one, with a complete set of Canon ink cartridges included. So far I am very pleased with it. Set up was completely straightforward, Being a bit of a novice I followed the set up instructions step by step and it all just worked. The wifi link seemed to set up without me doing anything (maybe I was lucky). Print quality is good and although it chunters quite a bit before it gets going, I am not usually in a rush so I just go and make a cup of tea! One slight annoyance is that the print trays are behind and under the output tray, so I have to close the output tray before I fiddle with the paper trays. The output tray has an auto open function which spits it open when you start printing which I find a handy a handy featur. However, if I want to put paper in once I have sent something to print, I then have to battle with the printers need to open the output tray and my need to put paper in the input tray. I am a bit afraid I'll break it.

The ip7200 is bigger than my last one and it doesn't have a top tray so it looks neater and gets less dusty. I do like the fact that I can keep it loaded with photo paper (albeit only max 7x5) in the top tray and plain paper in the lower tray (no dust), and I don't have to keep loading photo paper in the rear tray, ( although see above re the positioning of the paper trays). Overall a great printer for the money, I hope it lasts better than the last one.

Well the printer arrived a day earlier than promised so that was a good start.

Easy to set up, if a little long winded, but then it's been a few years since my last printer.

Wifi setup was painless from the CD over USB (never pressed a WPS button in my life) and I was able to select just the stuff I wanted to install.
Loaded paper into the lower cassette and 6x4 photo paper in the top. First test print A4 page came out fine, in a timely fashion with no great noise or drama.
First test photo again, quick and easy, and great quality even on 'Standard'.
I then installed the Canon Android app, and once again after an easy setup (it does all the work for you) was able to print photos direct from my phone.

So I'm quite happy, but Canon lose a star for the stupidly high ink costs ... I tried compatibles in my old Canon and the quality just was not as good.

If anything goes wrong then I'll report back ;-)

EDIT: Well a few weeks later and it's still going strong but as others have mentioned does it ever make a song and dance about printing the first page of stuff. Yesterday it took about 3 minutes to actually start printing the first item. 3 minutes of whirring, clunking, and any number of other printer type noises. Good job the output was as good as ever.
If I could I'd knock off half a star for this noisy delay!

If I wanted a printer that I had to hook up to my PC via a USB cable, this printer would have more stars, however I wanted a wi-fi printer, which is why I wasted my money on this one. My printer sits next to my wireless router, yet most of the time, I'm unable to get a working wi-fi connection. I shouldn't have to keep turning the printer on and off (occasionally for over half an hour) until my PC can eventually see the printer.

The printer is noisy and slow, but actually prints (when it finally connects) so no complaints there. Not recommended and I won't be going with Canon again. Is it even possible any more to get a cheap, basic printer that does what it says it will do on the box? This was purchased as a replacement for a HP printer that lasted about 3 weeks. I suppose I'll be trying an Epson next.

Edited to add: according to Canon, I'm having issues with wifi connectivity because I turn my printer off when it's not in use. Apparently, if I leave my printer on all the time it should solve the problem. I print half a dozen pages a week, if that, so it seems a little excessive to have to leave the printer on 24x7.

This is the second Canon printer I have ordered in the past couple of weeks. My low rating is not so much a comment about the printer as such but more about the rubbish advice I was given by Canon.
I first ordered this printer's multi-purpose 'big brother', the MG7150 but returned it as the printer was incapable of coping with a light card. I spoke at length on the phone to a Canon representative and explained the problem as I do quite a bit of this type of printing. My previous Canon printer coped easily with card, also in duplex. I told him that expense was no object and I really needed a printer that would cope with this sort of work. He took all my details and said he was sending me details of a selection of Canon printers that could cope with card printing in normal and duplex. This model is what he recommended as I had decided a printer only would suffice as I have a separate scanner anyway. In the event it was not a selection of printers, just this one. It cannot cope with this sort of work!!!! I really can't go through all the hassle of returning this one as well, especially as it is so cheap. I shall now have to look around the other companies to see what is recommended. This is sad because I have had good service from Canon machines for many years but they have really blotted their copybook this time.
This printer is fine for normal work on ordinary paper but definitely not heavy duty. As I said earlier. the blame and low rating are really in respect of the duff information given to me by a representative who seemed to just want to get me out of the way so he could go hom as it was late afternoon. Sad, very sad!

This has to be the worst printer Canon have ever produced. It's noisy, it's slow, it takes about 5 minutes (I'm really not joking) from clicking print with your mouse untill it actually prints anything, it's cheap, tacky and the results aren't good. Mine printed with a roller pattern down the side on 9 out of 10 prints.
Then there's Canons 'planned obsolescence' google it you'll be amazed. They basically have a digital counter inside that times the life of your machine, whether you use it not! My husband purchased 3 Canon printers just over a year ago. One for himself and two for friends. All purchased a week or so apart and guess what, they all threw up the same error code almost exactly the same time apart as when purchased. One friend only used hers once a month!
I wish I knew this before purchasing another Canon.

It was returned for a full refund as 1. the roller fault from the paper feed and 2. lifespan. Amazon were fantastic with dealing with the return.

I have decided to go down the Epson route and got an all in one bargain with no regrets.
My advice to you all is AVOID Canon they deserve to become a thing of the past!

Having had and liked Canon printers before I assumed I couldn't go wrong with this one. How wrong I was.
It looks good with its piano black glossy finish and wasn't too hard to set up. After that though it is downhill all the way.
I managed to get it working OK but the results were acceptable at best and usually poor. The one I had refused to properly print full pages without putting a bar of colour at the bottom through the image or if it was a page of print, the last few lines were smudged and out of line. Not good then! Worse even than that though was the fact that it produced a paper jam that couldn't be removed fully either from the back or through the front. The machine is now a useless but sleek looking piece of junk. Previous Canon Pixma printers had been everything this one isn't. They were reliable workhorses that printed regularly and well. This I am afraid to say has put me off Canon printers. So after a matter of only a few months I'm putting this printer and my disappointment with it behind me, Here's hoping my next printer rekindles my faith in these machines. Whatever it is, it won't be a Canon printer.

Firstly the set up. I have a mac, which the software is designed for. Installed everything correctly, followed instructions to the letter. Connected to my hub easily. completed set up, tried to print test page....... No printer detected!!!
Re-install, went through it all again, hurray, printer detected!!!
scanned my first page, which i found extremely frustrating. Unlike any of my previous printers, you can only scan wirelessly by going through the software. Any other printer ive had you can either press the scan button on the printer, which automatically opens a scan window on my macbook. Or i can open the print/scan icon within the system preferences, click scan, which then opens the print utility window and begins to scan. Very simple, but cant be done with this.
You have to go through the software, which is slow and cumbersome. unable to scan several items consecutively. It only lets you scan 1 item at a time. When you click scan the software has to "search for printer" which seems to take a while. hen when it eventually finds it, it scans. Now i had to repeat the whole process to scan sheet number 2, including the "search for printer"!!!! which on the 2nd attempt to scan, the printer disappeared, no where to be found!!!!
I turned off the printer and back on again. The printer was visible once again. Start the whole ridiculous scan process again. Tried to scan a second sheet, and surprise surprise no printer found!
Everytime i want to scan, it looses the printer after the first scan,,, everytime! so everytime i scan a sheet, i have to turn the printer off and back on again.
Needless to say the printer will be going back and i will buy a different manufacturer and be spending a bit more.
Even if the printer didnt loose connection after every scan, i would still be returning it. The whole process of scanning is so slow, having to do it through the software makes this printer more trouble than its worth.
I dont know what make of printer i will change it for, as to date i havent owned one that didnt under perform in some way.
My last printer was an epson print copy fax scan with usb and memory card slots. Went through 2 in 3 years as both stopped working wirelessly after periods of time, with no explanation.

Well i have tried the printer for a few days before returning, so i thought id add this to the review. I'd like to take the 1 star away please!!!This is such a lame piece of kit.
As ive already explained, the scan facility is absolutely terrible. But ive now found the printing to be almost as bad. When i leave the printer switched on and i attempt to print something, at least 60% of the time the printer fails to communicate properly. I have to power off the printer and then power on. Problem sorted???? Well,,, no! Once i have successfully printed 1 document, the printer fails to communicate immediately afterwards when i want to print a second document, meaning i have to power off and back on every bloody time!!! So i end up standing over the printer for absolutely everything, which leaves me wondering whats the bloody point of having a wireless printer????
Just a lame peice of kit that just isnt up to the job. My old printer (which no longer communicates wirelessy) will be coming back out from the cupboard. 4 year old design and is way way superior to this in every way.

I bought this printer when my old one finally packed up, assuming I was getting a professional grade machine. The quality of photographic prints it produces certainly are of a professional grade — seriously impressive. But I do quite a bit of direct CD and DVD printing, and for this, the Pixma Pro-100 is hopeless. Moreover the Canon Print Studio Pro software recommended for photographic prints is extremely user-hostile.

Print Studio Pro allows the user to select a massive number of options. As such, it is inevitably complex, but it takes an age to load, and its user interface is an illustrated guide on how not to create user interfaces. Its most irritating feature is that it prints all the documents you have open in Photoshop unless you deselect by hand the ones you don't want printed. The default should be exactly the opposite way round from this!

I do a lot of CD and DVD printing, and for this the Pro-100 is next to useless. The speed of disc printing is deadly slow, so your output rate is constantly held up by the printer. But worst of all is the software used for printing discs. There are two ways to do it: with an app called My Image Garden, provided on the disc with the printer, or with Canon Easy-Print, which I couldn't find on the disc and had to download. My Image Garden presents an interface that seems to have been designed by someone who felt Print Studio Pro was far too straightforward so they set out to make an interface too impenetrable for anyone ever to use. Canon Easy-Print is more straightforward. The problem is, whichever way you go, you can only print designs from templates Canon has chosen to provide!! This is really extraordinary. I'm used to CD printing software from Epson allowing the user to put whatever text and images wherever they want on a disc (and via a very intuitive UI). Canon, I don't need you to provide me with templates, thank you very much. By all means make them available, but just let me paste text and photos and move them around on a plain circular template of CD/DVD dimensions PLEASE.

This rather massive printer produces excellent quality prints, but it goes through many very noisy and lengthy self-cleaning operations before, and/or sometimes after, operation. It is also heavy on ink usage; according to some people it uses as much ink in low usage as it does in high usage as the cleaning process wastes ink. I now use lower-cost compatible inks with as good results as when using Canon's own expensive ones.

Also, it would only print greyscale when I tried to print colour pictures stored in my Microsoft Picture Library. I contacted Canon's help desk and was told that I should re-locate all my pictures (thousands of them!) into the printer's own photo-filing software (the ridiculously named 'My Image Garden') as Canon software is not designed to be compatible with other makers' products. I've found a way around this problem but am shocked that the printer is not intended to work directly with the Microsoft picture filing system that is surely used by millions of people worldwide.

I came close to giving this printer 3 stars as it does produce fine quality prints, however it still annoys me every time I use it so I think 2 stars is appropriate. Unfortunately the Canon scanner that I bought at around the same time is also a bit below the standard it was hyped up to be, so I'll be looking at other makes in future.

I bought this printer because the print head on my IP4700 failed and replacement of the head would be more expensive than replacing the printer. I don't need a multi-function device and main use is for photo printing, with occasional documents and envelopes.

I'd read a few reviews of the IP7250, which concentrated on printing costs and made little real mention of print quality. It didn't help that reviews on Amazon started well, but more recently were low, dragging the average score down to 2 stars. As these seem to be related to specific issues with individual reviewers (for example, faulty units and high ink usage) I chose to go with Canon's past reputation and order the IP7250.

Two days after ordering the printer arrived, despite being the 3 - 5 day free service so I started off impressed!

Unpacking the printer was easy enough, with all of the tapes which need removing being easily accessible and the ink cartridges were easy to install. On first power up the printer initialised the print head, then a supplied thick paper sheet has to be placed into the printer to allow the head to be aligned automatically. All this took around ten minutes. The driver and associated utilities took an additional 5 minutes to install via USB connection on Windows 8. I later tried the wireless setup and this also was simple, with the wireless link being reliable so far.

The paper supply mechanism has changed since I bought my IP4700; there is no longer a lift up lid to feed in paper which doesn't fit the main tray; instead there are two fully enclosed trays provided - one can take 125 A4 (or smaller) sheets of standard paper and the other tray 20 6x4 or 7x5 sheets of photo paper. Users of older Canon printers need to be aware that the printing side of the paper is now inserted facing down; this is clearly noted in the manual.

So, how does it print ? Plain text prints very well indeed as there is a dedicated black ink tank for text printing. Speed seemed no faster than my old IP4700, but is more than satisfactory for the occasional letter or moderately sized document. There is an inbuilt duplex unit, allowing double sided printing and there is a driver setting to allow A5 booklets to be printed using A4 paper (though there is no in built stapler - but then at this cost, I don't expect one). So far, so good.

Photo printing is up to the standard of the IP4700 (which was, 2 years ago, the PC Pro A listed photo printer), with bright, contrasty prints showing good colour rendition, a high level of detail, without banding, being produced. Again, speed was similar to the IP4700 so should be fast enough for most uses.

The noise produced by the printer is higher than I expected when it's cleaning it's heads (which it, like all other recent ink jet printers I've used, seems to do randomly when a print job is submitted), though it's better when actually printing. There is a quiet mode which can be set from the driver (as well as on/off you can specify the time period when the quiet mode is to be used) and this does reduce the noise, and speed, of printing, with the printer sounding like it's moving air through it, rather than paper.

I haven't yet had the printer long enough to comment on the number of pages/prints per refill, but I note that the tanks are no more expensive than those for the IP4700, or alternative Epson models.

My overall verdict at this point is that I have bought a very good photo printer, which is also capable of good text printing and has good paper handling, all for a price which is low for the high output quality. I'm very pleased with the IP7250.

My main priority was to purchase a printer that was Windows 8 64-bit compatible. My Dell all-in-one, which worked perfectly with my Dell laptop and desktop with Windows 7 and XP-Pro respectively, would have nothing to do with my new Dell PC in spite of the various downloads available and settings suggested on the Dell website. Asking around suggested that Canon was a good option, so I bought this one partly on the basis of the functionality offered but also because it said "Windows 8 compatible" on the box. I really didn't want to mess around with downloads that might or might not work.

There are a number of downsides. The first is that it is noisy. It is not actually too bad when printing out, but the whirling and grinding that takes place before and after a print run is very loud. I find it mildly irritating after a series of printers that were very quiet. I also couldn't get the wireless to work, although I have other wireless devices that work perfectly with my PC. As the printer lives next to the PC that wasn't too much of an issue, although it would have been good to free up an additional spare USB port. It sometimes decides that it doesn't want to print if it has been dormant for a while (i.e. it doesn't always automatically take a signal from the PC to wake up). And I had some fun working out how to make Photoshop the default destination for scanned images. The scanner software that comes with the machine is ultra basic, and I would recommend upgrading to some much better scanner software if you use the scanner regularly.

The upsides are that it was easy to install, is easy to use, and it works. I have been printing enormous quantities of documentation recently and it has done a reasonable job with both text and images on the draft/ink saving setting. This is all I wanted - something that would produce reasonable results without using up too much ink. But in its higher settings, it produces really good quality results. This is with only two cartridges, which is a blessing. The cartridges are easy to get hold of (unlike Dell ones which have to be ordered from Dell). I was able to get them from my local supermarket, which means I can dash down there in an emergency, and they are also available on Amazon. They are lasting well, much better than my previous Dell printer cartridges. It is quite a small all-in-one, and therefore useful for anyone without much space (roughly 44cm wide by roughly 34cm deep). Wonderfully, it is a front-loader, so paper is fed into the printer underneath where it emerges. Again, this is great if you are aiming to save space.

I managed to lose the user guide within five minutes of purchasing the printer, but the Canon website allows you to download a replacement. It is a .exe file, though, not a PDF, which is a bit odd. It effectively loads an on-screen hyper-linked manual, which saves itself as an application on your hard drive.

Overall, it's functional and does what I want. I am glad I bought it but, from my point of view, it does have a number of minor downsides.

I don't think that i can fault the end print, graphic or text, although I did have some trouble getting used to using canon's method of preparing the printer for printing graphics.
I would have liked the two paper trays to be the same size, with one or both being adjustable for smaller sized paper. I also sometimes print on card and i am not sure if the undercarriage paper trays will allow me to use thicker card, due to the sharp 180 degree bend to get the card into the print position. All that said, now that I am used to the printer I find that it's many features useful and impressive, the Wi-Fi connection, now I can print from any computer (and I presume tablet) that is in range, the edge to edge printing (if required) on all sizes of paper, the ability to print directly onto a (printable) CD / DVD again full faced if required. The five individual colour cartridges reduces the cost of replacement, you need only to replace to colour that has run out. All in all, yes, I would recommend this printer to a friend.

I was very excited get this printer. I set up the wireless network in spite of some mysterious port error message the first time. I had to install a second time to clear the port errors. I had difficulty with out-of-paper error the first day, but now it is working perfectly. I put my original review at the end of the comments. Most all the comments are in reference to the paper detection problem I had initially. Right now I am extremely pleased with the results.I printed four photos on Canon Canon Photo Paper Plus Glossy II, 13 x 19 Inches, 20 Sheets (2311B026) with very impressive results. Two of the photos were taken with a Canon EOS 5D Mark II 21.1MP Full Frame CMOS Digital SLR Camera with EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM Lens. A portrait photo was taken with a Panasonic LUMIX DMC-ZS6 12.1 MP DIGITAL CAMERA BLACK - 3.0 " TFT Screen LCD Display!! with surprisingly excellent results. I compared my 13X19 print to an 8X10 print that I got from Shutterfly and the color fidelity of the Canon Pro-100 is obviously significantly better - exact same file. When my brother visited me, he saw the 13X19 prints and was amazed at the quality.The final photo was originally taken using slide film with a Canon FTb film camera 39 years ago. I used a Canon Canon EOS 6.3MP Digital Rebel Camera with 18-55mm Lens with a different fixed focus Canon lens set at f22 aperture and using a slide extension adapter to copy the slide to a digital image. I am just astounded how great this photo looks. You would never imagine it was a digital photo of a 39 year old slide. I used a large magnifying glass to examine the 13X19 inch print and the print has very good detail. The color is stunning. Now I motivated to use my Canon 5D camera to start making copies of hundreds of old slides from my world travels in the early 1970s. Back before the terrorism days, I took photos anywhere in the cathedrals without restriction. When I returned to Italy in 1995, I could not even begin to wander around at will.I used the highest print quality and it only takes about 4 and half minutes to print a 13X19 inch print.I have some Canon Photo Paper Pro Platinum, 13 x 19 Inches, 10 Sheets (2768B018) in both 13X19 and 8X10 formats that I will print for comparison tomorrow. This paper is rather expensive, so I want to reserve it for the very best photos. There are five sheets of Canon Photo Paper Pro Luster 8.5 X 11 - 50 Sheets included with this printer. I have not printed on that paper yet. The Canon Luster photo paper is very expensive.Another neat accessory allows you to put images onto inkjet printable disks. I have not experimented with that yet, but I will do that soon. I need to decide upon a disk first.Since this ink is so new, it is currently available only from Canon for $17 per ink cartridge. So that means a full set will cost $136. These appear to be just regular sized ink cartridges, so that is rather expensive. I am sure a 13X19 inch print uses a lot of ink, so I need to limit my printing until the ink is more available and hopefully cheaper. I doubt that generic ink will ever be available.I have several Art Profolio ADVANTAGE landscape with 24 pages/48 views art & photo 17x11 landscape album by Itoya - 17x11 albums in which I plan to use to store my large format prints. There is a lower cost version as well: Itoya Art Profolio Evolution 13X19 Storage/Display Book.I have been a fairly loyal Canon fan since about 1970. I've always felt Canon provides high quality for reasonable prices. I have several Canon printers: Canon PIXMA MX432 Wireless Color Photo Printer with Scanner, Copier and Fax, a Canon PIXMA MX512 Wireless Color Photo Printer with Scanner, Copier and Fax and even a Canon PIXMA Pro9000 Mark II Inkjet Photo Printer (3295B002). I don't need all of them. Christmas is coming soon, so my daughters will be receiving some printers.

Had this for over a year. Chosen to avoid being ripped off by the ink merchants. You can get a load of clone inks for the price of one original Canon and they work fine though they are emptied quite quickly. It accepts clone inks without complaint, unlike the later HP printers. Nice results, especially on gloss. If you put postcard gloss in one of the trays and print from an iPad it will choose the correct tray and paper. DVD printing is very complex, especially on how to import pictures. One needs to write your own notes on how to do it. and stick them on the lid ! The dual sided printing works well and saves paper. But you wonder what it is doing in there as it chunters to itself for minutes on some occasions before deciding to produce the goods ! It did fail to print just before the end of the guarantee. I sent it back to the recommended repairer by road and it was repaired and returned in a couple of days.
Just don't expect it to print rapidly or you will be disappointed
