Bought mainly because of the consistently positive test results and reports (CHIP Online, Amazon recessions etc.), after my HP Deskjet gave up the ghost on the printer. And I must say that I was more than pleasantly surprised. The pace of this quality, I would not have thought to date possible. A new printer had to be able to convince me in every area. As a student, you have a lot to do with PDF documents that need to be brought to paper for better handling. In a good pace, in quality and both sides (very important for me) this is the Pixma IP5200R done to the full satisfaction. What really impressed me was the separate dust-resistant tray that I use for photo paper. Without problems can be so between a photographic print Print (again, an incredible rate), without having to remove the plain paper from the printer. And the best: borderless, without annoying Tailoring !!! Without false euphoria: With the bundled Photo paper Canon at photos with incredible sharpness and color fidelity could create. Also should not go unmentioned here the opportunity to the supplied adapter CDs / DVDs to be printed. Absolutely precisely and in optimum quality (as purchased) mastered the Canon this work. The ink consumption is frugal in my view, and the cost factor, considering the quality offered, acceptable for the original ink. The networking capabilities via LAN or WLAN are extremely practical, with several computers (in my case, desktop PC and laptop) and independence from the printer location. All promise the reviews I've read before buying were in my view fully met. Had not thought that a new printer may inspire me so.
