How the heck they manage to deliver this printer and all of its cunning little tricks for such a low price confounds me. A proper paper tray, duplex, separate photo paper feed, disc printing, photo printing, all at remarkable speed without very much noise at all, and so far, it even seems to be reasonably frugal with the ink. Easy setup, no alarms in use so far.
So if you are printing text, brilliant. Graphics - great.
The problems come with photos. Although taken in itself the reproduction of photos is incredibly good, again considering the daft price, with decent sharpness, there is a distinct problem with the colour. There is frequently a pronounced colour cast compared to what I am seeing on screen. My photos are coming from a high end Nikon DSLR, processed through Adobe, and with my previous (much more expensive) Epson, I could rely on faithful reproduction of colour by the printer. Not so with the Canon. What you see is not necessarily what you get.
I am being a little fussy, but if you want green grass to be printed green rather than slightly brown/yellow, this may not be the printer for you. It does depend what you are printing - sometimes the cast is not a big issue, but it is normally there somewhere. For middle grade photos (like most of mine!) it's okay. I'd be nervous of trying to print a carefully processed, properly tuned A4 - it would probably just look wrong.
Very unfortunate considering how clever this little beast is otherwise, but if you accept its limitations with good grace, it's still an amazing machine. It's not a really serious photo quality printer, but maybe that's an unreasonable expectation at this price point.

This elegant machine is fine I think for experienced practitioners needing
a printer capable of delivering high grade colour photographs.
I found it hard to learn how best to use it It is certainly going to be heavy on
ink; with practice I'm sure I will come to enjoy it. My prime requirement was reliability with long print runs for a voluntary medical group - yet to be proved.
Amazon's supplier delivered very promptly at a good price, so all round I have have had a good deal.

Photo print quality is below what you should get for the resolution. On 6x4 prints you get groves in the paper as the rollers are too tight. This model like several other Canon printers is vuneralble to a printer carrige problem which cost more to get repaired then the printer is worth. I got this after 18 months light use and have now gone back to using a HP printer. The ink cartridges are easy to change and competivaly priced, shame Canon have chosen not to sort out a well know fault. Do not buy there are better more reliable printers on the market.

I love this printer, the CD printing is really easy to do and the software that comes with the printer helps you to design it really easily.

Be warned
A typically high quality product from Canon, but be warned that it doesn't come with the USB cable (duh!) so you have to buy it seperately.
