Helpful consumer’s review
What a fantastic value replacement multi function home office printer. I bought this printer to replace my Dell A960 all in one and it has not disappointed. I use this plugged into the back of my wireless router so now allows me to print wirelessly from my laptop without having the desk top on. Set up was straight forward, however even for network set up you must use a a USB lead connected to your main computer first – follow the instructions and you cannot go wrong.
Replacement ink is not that expensive either, see Ink Fusion and you can get a set of replacement 5 tanks for around £40. Not sure how long the ink will last. My tip is, do not stint on the ink – always buy Canon originals.
Photo quality printing is brilliant, especially when you are using high quality photo quality paper. Shop around for the paper, Canon paper is over priced and there are equally high quality alternatives that are cheaper. Ink dries very very quickly, 4″x6″ photos are just about dry to the touch straight off the machine and come out of the printer in much less than a minute.
Printer is larger than it’s predecessor in our house, and if you are operating in a small space then think about your desk space as it will eat up an area 51cm x 50 cm.
The Automatic Document Feeder works a treat, and scanning more than one page at a time has become so much easier. Duplex printer, though not of the same speed as a main stream office laser, works fine but is slower to get the first print out. Using ink jet on two sides of normal 80 gm/sqm paper can make the paper a bit soggy if printing out pictures, but for text is fine.
I have yet to use the stand alone fax send and receive functions so cannot comment on these now.
In summary – an excellent home office work tool – outstanding photo quality printing, at speed, ease of use with network connectivity especially when hooked up to a wireless router. Highly recommended.
