Great, but not rg and not hott ... and contrary to Canon must pay the buyer not greed

Anyone who has ever dealt with in greater detail photo printers know that devices for formats of A3 + not just belong to those with compact dimensions. Even if the built-in wireless - as advertised on the marketing Photo - would permit a prestigious presentation in white living room, so most users "the black box", however, only once by moving furniture and space create the home office must integrate. In an emergency, then helps a 50 x 50 cm Rollcontainer of certain Swedish furniture chain, to roll then the iP8750 as needed into the limelight, finally, the printer requires the operation covers an area of ​​approximately 82 x 60 cm (depth x width), minimum (with forwards standing on the furniture out leaf extract) but still no less than 49 x 60 cm.

Is the question of space but then clarified once, it comes to setting up your printer. Unlike, for example, with my Epson Stylus Photo R2880, Canon delivers unfortunately only set-up cartridges together with the device, which then already almost back up the ghost after the first filling of the unit ... well, big trains for " "adding whole 3 - in words: three - leaf sample photo paper reaches it then just that. So all over again invests at least 25% of the purchase price in ink cartridges, eventually you get the computer started up anyway already for installation, and no, avarice Canon then anticipated from its customers, as opposed to their own business practices then obviously but.

Thanks to the illustrated installation instructions in the style of (again) Swedish furniture and the enclosed CD, the installation is not a problem and since I had already made provisions and ink ordered the same, it could also go with the same proofs. But this I must say that all of my prints in advance through a workflow on the calibrated monitor and not - as advertised by Canon - as a JPEG will be banned directly from the camera or your smartphone's paper.

Here, the iP8750 is significantly below expectations. Even thought of as "second unit" for "contact sheets" or to pre-selection, and therefore ordered with innately subdued expectations, the Canon comes nowhere close to matching the print quality of the in the tooths Epson. It may sound crass, but there are a few "little things" that the desire for the Canon easy verhageln me. Especially when the Borderless Farbpatzer nervous on paper early, so there was not anything in 3 1/2 years Epson once! Also in terms of brilliance, sharpness and color fidelity of the Canon can not hold a candle to the stylus. Here you aim at Canon as advertised specifically to the Smartphone, Tablet and social media photographers, which (as we know all too well from so many split images on the net) obviously the snapshot is more important than the razor-sharp viewing experience ... whether those but then with A3 printers the right clientele are ... I do not know the men and women in marketing at Canon will have but hopefully something in mind.

The conclusion to the iP8750 is unfortunately sobering for me. Although the Canon can provide acceptable print results that clearly stand out from any all-in-one printer, so you can be professionally (em claim) at the print results Sorry, no speech. For only average photo quality, the device is then in the maintenance costs but much too expensive. Except for the size (in terms of dimensions) of the iP8750 for me is then truly no winner; there arises in my eyes going to the photo lab or the effort of one or another online photo service for the majority of potential customers than the much better and cheaper alternative. Who then for professional or other reasons to a photo printer could not live without, or may which engages a better (really) professional equipment. Although the purchase price may be initially higher in operating costs, the devices give but then but not so much the result of printing is really at the level of a photo lab - with the possibility of direct influence in the pressure.

Too bad, the unit my children will probably get to play around and discover one's own creativity, my personal claim not met then unfortunately yet.
