Отзывы о Мфу Canon Pixma TS3440

Not a review, just a question -- why would anyone pay $150 for the print-head, when equally good or better new printers can be purchased for under $100. When my print head died, I looked on EBay for a replacement head, figuring the price would be much cheaper, but even those are selling for about $80. Still not worth it. You'd think someone would have the sense to sell these old print heads for $30 or so, making it worth the purchase price.

I like my Canon IP4000 printer. I thought if I buy a new printhead, I resolve my problem. However, the printhead is like new, is refurbished. For that money I could buy a new printer.

I was an idiot to purchase an item in a sealed package, because It was not returnable if the package was opened. How do I know if it works or functions as required if I do not open the package? The item did not function, and now I own it !!!!! Never again !!!!!

Printer kept showing wrong cartridge,everyone told me to get rid of printer..Even cannom co. told me that.Decided to try a new printhead and solved the problen.

I elected to get a new printhead instead of a new printer, since the ink for newer printers is prohibitive. This came quickly and was easy to install, once I figured out the diagram. It is working fine. The first page was faint, and I was a little worried, but when I turned the printer off and back on, and it ran through its program, the next print was very good.

Took a chance on replacing expensive printer heads after extensive research on why printer would not print. Held my breath and installed new heads. Canon printer is an oldie but goodie and now works good as new. Could not find OEM parts, so surprised that the after-market has them in good supply.

Needed a printhead for a discontinued Canon Pixma printer. Really liked the printer's performance so began my quest. Little did I know... No one seemed to have the exact model I needed. A few internet sites claimed to have it, but when you punched in the model number, "out of stock" came up. I can't begin to tell you how frustratingly often that happened. Others offered refurbished models at a hefty price. Had just about given up and was reluctantly ready to ditch it when I came upon Sanwood's store here on Amazon. They got it to me fast, without price gouging me and most importantly, the printer works like new again.

What can I say - it came, replaced and worked. While a little costly, it was enough that the printer was brought back to service. Good money well spent.

Not much to say. I bought this to repair a non-functioning Canon printer. It didn't have the desired affect. Not the fault of the part; but I still need to replace the printer.

I knew I was going with a Canon printer because of their reputation for having reasonably priced ink compared to all the other manufacturers (hp being the most expensive to use). I intended to buy one from their PIXMA series (said to be the fastest printers on the market; all offer Duplex/two-sided printing which I wanted). I really struggled between their high-end iP8500 and mid-range iP5000 & iP4000. I ultimately eliminated the 8500 and 5000 because neither had dual black ink cartridges (4000 has a 13 ml. for photos, and a bigger 27 ml. one for text). In the 8500 I didn't want to have to be replacing 8 individual ink cartridges (some say those extra tanks don't really make much difference, just cost more). While the 5000 had greater resolution than the 4000, my decision was also impacted by what I thought was a reputable review (PC magazine, I believe). The review said that the 5000 generated better text and graphics than the 4000, however at the expense of photos that weren't as good and that printed slower. Another factor in my decision was that I could purchase the 4000 for 1/3 the retail price, dirt cheap compared to any other potential printer purchase out there. (Best Buy price matched with Office Depot, I had Best Buy RewardsZone certificates, a Best Buy gift card, and there was manufacturer rebate.)After a solid week of Internet research, I ultimately did purchase the 4000 and I am very pleased with it. Below I've summarized my observations from my first week of usage of my new printer. Maybe I can save somebody from some of the research effort that I put into this purchase.DESIGN: It's beautiful, but it's black shiny parts are potentially a dust-magnet. There's no printer cable included. I had a spare on hand (it uses USB 2.0 cable with A/B connectors). Radio Shack was less than Best Buy, at $24.99 for a 6-foot. You could do better on the Internet via Amazon.com or eBay.com. Error messaging is cool; just count the amber blinks of the usually green power button, then check your manual for what it means. This thing is FAST! Text ink is pigment-based (longer lasting, less fading, rated 75-80 yrs., I think) and the colors are dye-based (rated 25-30 years, I think). Duplex capability is awesome.POWER: Canon says they only recommend plugging the printer directly into a wall outlet. I have a Curtis Command Center power center, under my monitor. It conveniently locates power buttons for all of my computer components, as well as offering surge protection. I've used it for years with no difficulties. While I can turn my new printer off via the Curtis power buttons, I can't turn the printer back on with it. The actual button on the printer must be pressed to turn it back on. My printer is not located immediately next to the computer, so I now have to stand up to physically hit that actual printer button.QUIET MODE: For me, this feature is worthless. Canon says that using it will slow the print speed of the printer. Upon installation, this mode is turned off by default. In regular mode, this printer is pretty noisy when it starts out (much more than the hp DeskJet 825c that I just passed on to Mom), but when it's printing sounds like most every other printer I've used. When it's first starting out, some of those noises are a little scary, like something might be broken ... but it's not.AUTO-FEEDER (top): It doesn't hold the advertised 150 sheets for most of us. Canon bases that particular estimate on 17 lb. paper! (Who uses that?! Almost everybody uses 20 lb.!) My very first text prints were from the Auto Feeder (top). They all printed extremely crooked until I reduced the paper stack quite a bit.Standing in front of the printer, with a stack of paper inserted, it appears that the right bottom corner is forced to bend outward slightly from the printer design. Despite a number of attempts to reload the paper (after turning the paper various ways), this outward bend remained. (It can be kind of pressed into place though.) When I reduced the paper in the Auto Feed tray by half (that I'd previously filled to the capacity line marker), I still had the outward bend, but the crooked print problem was resolved.The manual offers this work-around for a continued problem: Use only 1 sheet of paper in the Auto Feeder, or place multiple pages there, but by one sheet at a time (vs. an entire stack all at once).PRINT SPEED: My printer is blazingly fast. I'm not experiencing any of the 15-second first page print delay that so many reviewers complain about with this printer. There's maybe a 5-second delay at most! Perhaps that delay sometimes occurs on the first print after you've switched between the auto-feed or cassette trays, but I am pretty much not experiencing any problem with this.INK DEPLETION OPTICAL SENSORS: They'll monitor the individual ink tanks. When a cartridge has less than 20% left, you'll be warned. Canon's printers will work with an empty cartridge, unlike the Epsons (they lock up until you replace).INK U

I purchased this printer in exchange for another photo printer received as a gift. Given the chance I would make the same choice again.When researching printers I decided on a choice between the iP4000 and the iP5000. The sales person at my local store tried to steer me towards the Lexmark printers but they were no match for the speed and quality of the Canon series. She actually told me that it was a good thing to have all three colors in the same tank like the Lexmark so when I run out of yellow, as I always do, I would have to throw away the half used cyan and magenta as well. It was then that I noticed her name badge read "Lexmark Specialist" and I inferred some hope for a commission was inducing her to make such ridiculous statements.The sample photoraphic prints available in the store were typically of scenes that displayed the printer's color depth capabilities; in this case a mountain biker was rendered very realistically. However what convinced me to choose the iP4000 was that to the naked eye the gradient of the sky in the background was almost perfectly smooth, lacking the diffusion or cross hatching patterns that appear on most other printers. Most other sample pictures don't include areas of solid color for this reason. The iP5000 was even better but I couldn't justify it for an extra $70.With a second black ink tank the iP4000 works well as a document printer with rich black text without sacrificing the black print quality in photos. This feature alone led me to choose the iP4000 over the less expensive iP3000. The print head in the iP4000 is replaceable when it needs replacing, unlike some other printers that make you purchase a new print head with each ink cartridge replacement (which while ensuring consistent quality, makes for expensive consumables). The printer also supports PictBridge that enables direct camera to printer connection for those who prefer to leave their computer out of it.The printer ships with five sheets of 4x6 Photo Paper Pro, their top of the line photo paper. I purchased a pack of their Photo Paper Plus and found no difference in the quality of the print discernable to the naked eye. Using the less expensive paper means photos that cost on order of $.24 - $.29 each, on par with my local photo printing services. I've also purchased the store brand photo paper in hope of reducing the price per print to less than $.20 each assuming the quality is just as good.I've combed over the printer for weaknesses but have found very few. I suspect the front output tray may become increasingly flimsy with repeated opening and closing but only time will tell if I am justifiably concerned. The dual paper paths allow me to store 4x6 photo paper away from dust and children's fingerprints, however expanding the bottom tray is awkward to change from 4x6 to 8x10 paper. After a few dozen 4x6 and 8x10 photo prints, the ink tanks still appear full and either the meter is inaccurate or this printer is very efficient with ink.As someone with habitual buyer's regret, I'm having a hard time finding something to regret. Perhaps I should have purchased the PIXMA iP8500 for the 8-color printing or the iP5000 for the 9600x2400dpi resolution and 1pL droplet size but if my mother can't tell whether the picture of the kids is from film or digital then that's good enough for me. For the price this printer can't be beat though I'm not certain how Canon is making any money on these. They don't have a proprietary ink tank system or smart chips that lock you into their consumables. Perhaps they are betting their superior quality will keep you buying Canon.While some complain of a lack of whizbang features I actually welcome a printer that does one thing and does it very well: printing. So far I have not been disappointed with this feature. If only I could find a cell phone that makes and receives calls as well...

My HP 4 Laserjet had died about a month ago, and I was debating just fixing it (for $200) or buying a new one. After reading a number of reviews, I bought the Canon IP4000, and I don't regret it at all. It's fast, quiet, and has given me excellent print quality for both text and photos.For single-side printing, it's faster than the HP 4, and the quality is good, using "general purpose" print paper of 20# wt. and brightness of 90. Under magnification, there is some fuzziness due to the fact that liquid ink "bleeds" into the cheaper, porous paper, but it is definitely acceptable for most general printing needs. Switching to better paper -- Burlington's "Bright White" in this case, with 100 brightness level and 24# wt. -- the text and line quality is almost indistinguishable from laser print. Very impressive!Duplex printing is a bit slower, but it handles the paper well without so much as a single wrinkle in the page when it's done. Also, printing photos embedded in a document slows it down considerably, but it was never enough to be a problem for me.Printing photographs on 4 X 6" Canon's "Photo Paper Plus Gloss" turn out as good as reprints from a lab. Mine took about 45sec. to print after hitting the print button on my PC. I don't have a digital camera, but it does allow one to be hooked up directly to it.In general, it's a very quiet printer, and has the convenience of two paper trays: One on top and a casette underneath. One word of note: If you're using the Casette to print photo paper, put the paper in face-down! I didn't do this the first time, and was rewarded with ink running all over it and onto my hand. Would have helped to read all the directions I suppose.The only other point first-time users need to remember is that this printer takes about a 15 second delay before beginning a print job. So don't keep hitting the print button or you'll get a lot of copies! Once it kicks in, though, it's off and running. The only noise is that it's a little abrupt when it grabs that first sheet, but otherwise you barely hear it.Setup is also easy; I used the parallel-port cable that had been hooked up to my HP 4. The software loaded without a glitch, and printing from the supplied "Easy-PhotoPrint" program was easy. I'm running Win2K, so it should work as well for XP users.I highly recommend this printer to anyone in the market for a multi-purpose printer. As stated, the text quality is excellent with good paper, and photographs are flawless, in my opinion. It's inexpensive, and from other reviews, is very frugal with ink. Plus, with ink cartridges at $10 - $12, it's much less expensive to keep filled than other brands, and if you have to buy them all at once, it's still cheaper than a single toner cartridge was for my HP 4. I would caution what others have written, and stick with Canon's ink, to avoid any problems with the print head. Also, avoid using the really cheap paper (the kind with a lot of paper particles and dust in it) as with ANY printer, as it will gum it up over time.If you're in the market for a printer, this is the one to get!

As a college student about to move away from home, I found myself in need of a new computer and printer. After looking at several different models made by Canon, Epson, and Hewlett-Packard, I decided to go with Canon's PIXMA iP4000 for several reasons. For school purposes, I didn't really need a photo printer, but the price was excellent - one of the cheapest in the store, in fact - and it's definitely been worth it. I also liked the fact that this printer has separate black cartridges for regular printing and for photo printing, so the ink doesn't need to be replaced as often.It's now been about two months since I purchased this printer and thus far I've encountered no disappointments. It prints very quickly. Regular documents take only seconds per page and come out crisp and clear. Photo printing is advertised as taking about 36 seconds. Mine take about 50 when printing at high quality, not including the few seconds of delay before printing actually starts, but this is still perfectly sufficient for my needs.Printing is almost silent for photos, though somewhat noisier for regular documents. I also like the fact that there are two paper trays, so I can keep plain white paper in the standard feeder and photo paper in the cassette beneath, and can switch between the two with just the push of a button.The photo quality when printing on Canon's 4''x6'' Photo Paper Plus Glossy (when I bought my printer at CompUSA, they included a 50-sheet package for free) is outstanding. It's almost impossible to tell the difference between this and a genuine lab-printed photograph. If you hold the prints at an angle to the light there will sometimes be one or two faint horizontal lines, but they are hardly noticeable. The printer also comes with a free 5-sheet sample package of 4''x6'' Canon Photo Paper Pro which seems to be just as nice, though slightly less glossy than the Photo Paper Plus Glossy.You can also, in theory, connect a digital camera to the printer with a USB cable and print photos directly from the camera. Unfortunately I have not been able to try out this feature because my camera is not PictBridge / Canon Bubble Jet Direct compatible. However, loading the photos from my camera onto my computer and printing them from there is very simple and doesn't take much longer.The iP4000 is not quite as aesthetically pleasing as it could be, but it isn't unattractive either. The unit is a little bulky, especially when all the trays are extended, and takes up a significant amount of desk space. However, this is the least of my concerns. For all printing purposes, I've found nothing to complain about. Setting up the printer is also fast and simple. The instruction manual is clear and easy to follow and I've had no problems whatsoever. I'm very happy with my purchase and would certainly recommend this printer to anyone.

I went from a very annoying 5 yo HP ink jet printer to the Pimxa 4000. It is a startling transition; printers have evolved far faster than computers in the past five years.Other reviewers will comment on images, etc. Suffice to say they are extraordinary, you must use Canon papers and inks, etc etc. Here are some points that you may not read elsewhere.1. It's a 50 MB driver installation for XP, about 30MB for OS X! Both drivers are complex. I also installed the borderless printing package on my G3 iBook, but it's too slow to be useable. It's also as ugly as Canon's other OS X software. It's an OS 9 app that's been tweaked to run "native" in OS X; I wonder if it uses some proprietary emulation layer. I suspect the OS 9 version of the same package might be faster.The XP custom install doesn't really let you choose where to put things. The html documentation, for example, ends up in the WINDOWS directory. Weird.2. They say this is a "5 color" printer, but two of them are black. Marketing!3. I almost returned this when the other PIXMAS (5000, etc) came to the US market. On review though, this holds up well. The higher numbered PIXMAs below $200 US mostly have unnecessary gizmos. One of them IS a better photo printer (6 inks), but it seems to be ONLY a photo printer. I need something the kids can print color documents on. There's a $300 PIXMA that is clearly superior (7 colors, 2 black) but it's more than I wanted to spend.4. Most ink jet printers should be used at least weekly, if not every 3-4 days, to keep the nozzles in fine shape. I don't know if that will be true of the PIXMA.5. This is NOT a simple device. It's not trivial to setup or to use. I would not recommend it for someone who's not a photo geek or fond of studying manuals.6. There's no way Canon is making any money on this printer. Clearly their margin is on the supplies.7. Color management is a very dark and extremely misunderstood area. This printer did a plausible job rendering images taken by a Canon camera, processed on a Mac and printed from an XP machine (sRGB profiles on Mac). On the other hand my iBook prints were too yellow. I switched to using ColorSync to control the printing from my iBook. That dramatically slowed printing but produced more plausible colors. I'm still working with this, but I'm currently getting better color results printing from my XP machine than my iBook -- even though all my photos are managed on my iBook.9. It has a parallel port as well as the USB cable. That seems a bit odd. I can't imagine a machine with power enough to use this printer that wouldn't have a USB cable.10. I had trouble doing borderless printing. Eventually I figured out the various complexities of print orientation, image size, etc. I can do borderless printing from Adobe Photoshop Elements and from iPhoto and Graphic Converter. It is quite tricky to set up all the various driver configurations however.

I bought this printer back in Nov 2004 and paper jammed on me in March 2005 and Canon, under the warranty, sent a new refurbished one. The refurbished one was fine, printed great photos and was reliable. I stopped printing photos in June and recently tried to print photos but noticed lines on my photos. Later found out that one of the print heads was off. I tried cleaning / deep cleaning as troubleshooting instructed but still was unsucessful. Canon rep told me that my warranty ended in Nov 2005 and not when i was sent the new refurbished one. Of course that was a disappointing and to replace a print head, it would cost more than the printer itself.So although this printer is great with photos and other text prints, it wont last you 1.5 or more years. Understanding that nothing last forever, I would expect a printer to last at least a few years...
