Considering this printer cost about £27, it is more sophisticated and prints better than I had expected and reflects the growing tendency for makers to make money out of ink rather than machines! After 6 months I am on my fourth cartridge and at around £15 a time it won't be long before the cost of the printer pales into insignificance!!
By far the most attractive feature of the printer is the definition of the print which is equal to many much more expensive machines. It would be capable of producing near professional results if it wasn't for the fact that it doesn't print entirely accurately on the page. To some extent that can be overcome by a trial and error alteration of the margins of the document but it also tends to draw in paper at a slight angle which shows up especially when the margins are narrow. It loses two of the five stars I would have given it!
The ink which is apparently common to the whole of the Pixma range, is relatively dull, especially the red, and somewhat disappointing after my old Epson. The ink level indicator registers as virtually empty when there is still almost 30% left and doesn't register at all if you have the temerity to put a non branded cartridge in it!
It handles various weights of paper and card without any problems but is not designed for long print runs, for example, half a dozen 300gsm cards is about as much as it can take at a time. It produced 200 greeting cards beautifully but took forever! It prints much more quickly in draft mode but a great deal of quality is sacrificed and can leave blemishes of black ink on the paper even when only colour is being used.
This is a nice little machine for the money but with some significant drawbacks for the serious user.

This is a minimal printer -- no fancy gadgets, no LCD display, only two buttons -- and it is low-priced. The installation process is lengthy, and you get the same set of decent software items that come with more expensive Canons. The printer is a bulky, unbeautiful matt-black object, but has no tray for printed pages; they just shoot out of the front.
Quality of text printing in black is of the usual inkjet standard, not as sharp as even a cheap laser printer, while bold fonts look distinctly fuzzy on plain paper. Colour printing lacks intensity, and all shades seem lightened, although photos on 10 x 15cm top quality photo paper are surprisingly good and you can print borderless up to A4 size. It's cheaper to upload your camera shots to an internet print service, though.
I am happily using this printer for occasional colour pages alongside my workhorse mono laser printer. For everyday printing, even at home, it might be worth spending another £10-20 to get something better from Canon.

What a heap of junk. It only lasted as long as the ink it came with then refused to acknowledge Canon replacement cartridges. Unfortunately it was after the 30 days from purchase and Canon were less than useless. It's a cheap bottom of the range product and it shows. The all round build is flimsy and pretty nasty. Do yourself a favour and go for a model or two up.

Poor Quality Unit
Found this printer to be poor on quality. The shock was the price of new inkjet cartridges. So I bought a Kodak and scrapped this one

Very high running costs
Yes, it was cheap to buy BUT the cartridges last no time at all. The problem that I've encountered after having the printer for a few months is that it will not print a mono page... Read more
