an outstanding device

This device I have after a long research (internet, journals, various tests and not least amazon reviews) deliberately picked to replace older equipment (color laser, ink printers, CCD scanner - for design office with three macs)

after half a year of experience, I can say:

1. super easy installation: unpack, connect, get going.

2. the attached ink long held that this selling course even longer.

3. The unit is quite low, the nozzle cleaning very low.

I can understand the action of some reviewer outlasting nozzle cleaning NOT.
ok, it cleans even just before printing - but that was about all.

after printing it is nice and quiet, disappears after some time to sleep and turns eventually out.
If you want to a different view, you can change everything in the settings.

4. an important criterion for me was the scanner.
this is device is one of the very few with a CCD scanner!
this scanning technology achieves significantly better results than when these devices usual CIS scanner!

5. that this device has no fax, is not a disadvantage - you can copy as well as PDF send via mail.

6. Last but not least: THE PRICE !!!! the device is now a bit dated, the price dropped tremendously !!!
the art, however, almost better than the new devices. (Compares to drucker-channel.de!)

7. This device does not have the delicate "piano finish", but is matte black.
dust is not as apparent (who speaks designer: silver or white would of course have been nice)

negative I have not yet discovered.
I hope it stays that way.

grüssle from Swabia

Addendum after 3 months:
after many many print: still thrilled.
My device is compared with the first that came out,
may improve, or model-maintained.
otherwise I can not explain to me that it has no quirks.
It is very quiet, very well printed, copied perfectly, scans well -
the ink consumption is low !!!!!
just a very excellent printer that looks good!
Thank you Canon!
