Blameless device - functions extremely high, as otherwise expected by Canon

I have the MX 885 now since about 1 month running in. He abgelößt my MP600, has after 4 years intensive use of passed away. My decision to buy Canon, explicitly for the MX885 was particularly influenced by the positive experience with the MP600, the always faithful fulfillment of his services.

I am a student and therefore has a lot of copying and printing. At peak print volumes: 500 sheets / week.

First impression: Very chic. This becomes visible very quickly on the black lacquer dust, should be known to the meissten of LCD TVs. In one is then also conscious before they buy. I myself feel this is not disturbing because you already wiped dust, and the printer doing the same with wiping. That's a matter of few seconds and should appear MMN anyone as a nuisance.

Panel:
Panel leaves no questions unanswered. everything is there where it belongs or where you would expect it. Just quickly want to copy is not a problem. Also, the fax is sent quickly (more on that later). The printer can be an even kofigurationsmöglichkeiten much so that you do not even have to boot up the computer to cleared demanding jobs - very good!

Display:
The display is sufficiently auflößend. Photos from the memory card are shown detailed. Photo printing: Due to the good display, the computer can also stay here safely from!

Pressure unit:
The eponymous function should provide correspondingly highly satisfactory results. When MX885 not an issue. Printouts are razor sharp and particularly straight. The paper is aligned again as the MP600 before printing the move. The color reproduction is also very good with color printouts.
The print head is installed as a single part, so you can change this also separately to the print result after years of use to optimize again. (The MP600 printhead held approximately 4 years).
The cartridges have shrunk again. The capacity in this case is the small cartridges with only 10ml, at the Great Text cartridge there are 19ml. shame because just as an office printer, which will be the MX885, which is quite lean. The cartridges are, as is already customary in printers, also provided here with a chip. This is MMN however not a problem since there are already third-party cartridges with chip at a price of less than 2 are (brand ink). Cheap Print (for me as a student very important) is also not a problem here - very nice!
Duplex printing is also possible here (even full duplex; more on that later).

Scanner:
Even a sale of the main reasons was the ADF unit with duplex function. Documents can be scanned and both sides are gerducht (already Addressed Full Duplex). Paper jam did not exist previously. It is also worth the paper guide of the ADF unit align pay close attention to the paper.
Very good gelößt: The ADF unit is protected by a flap against the ingress of dust. that's a rarity.
For the problem with checkered leaves and thin pencil drawings: Raise the contrast, then the result will be better. (I had been with every Canon make).

Fax:
Plug and play. Faxes are reliably sent and received. Special feature: A built-in fax switch!
Also in the fax function, there are all the settings you want. On request, the faxed document will be printed as a reduced view on the fax report - better than any registered.

Software:
Very simple, even for less experienced users to handle. However, a lot of "crap" is installed. A subsequent cleanup is not spared the experienced user.

Conclusion:
A very gelugener multifunction printers is second to none. Features abound, but also easy to handle.
a lot of nice "Hidden function" the one job easier. W-LAN and LAN round off the gesammtkonzept.
My ink cartridges after one month of use still allesammt brim (according to indication)

For users of Android or iOS: There's an app using which one can print directly from your smartphone photos via WLAN.

Note:
Never use the printer from the power completely, because on restarting an intensive cleaning is carried out, which demanded the ink much color. Either turn off switch via the printer or in standby. (The latter can certainly get over at a Standyleistung of 2.5 watts)

UPDATE:

So, now have passed since the first time good eight months; What can I say? I am still absolutely thrilled!
The ink consumption is indeed very low (though I initially had in mind here because the containers have compared to older Canon devices less capacity). As before the unit leaves a very solid impression.
What I here again want to especially emphasize that even if a cartridge is empty, (the printer complains only about a krittischen level of a cartridge with a yellow exclamation mark, then with a red X on an empty print cartridge) can "push away" the message and the Printer Prints despite seemingly empty cartridge further - also fax transmission reports can be printed with this seemingly empty cartridges. So you can leverage the cartridges "to the last drop" - very good.
Sure you have to keep in mind the cartridge promptly to change, but I am delighted that Canon provides this function as before. (My old Canon MP600 could already).

Very recommendable device!
