Great print - huge ink consumption through constant self-cleaning

Canon Pixma iP4950 Inkjet Printer (Personal Computers)

Customer Review

Now I have a week since the new IP 4950 in operation.
My old Canon - IP 4300 - had the original cartridges no longer be recognized at once, and I slowly have a suspicion that you look through those "Electronics fault" (Canon help line) with printer manufacturers to sales of new equipment ensures ... But well, this is just a bold thesis here now prefer the facts:

Accustomed well packaged and easy to install: The IP 4950 looks great, can be connected easily, has duplex printing and DVD / CD-Rohlingbedruckung on tray - everything you could wish for. The print quality is superb, photos look great, writing is ultra sharp: and so I would be all in all, a happy customer ... Actually ... actually ...

Because there is a big catch: The printer cleans itself more than a cat! Constantly. Enervating often. Also, several times a day. And he eats ink without end: not only for printing so - but by not disconnectable permanent self-cleaning.
I have printed in the week since the purchase every day: A few times and colored; Thus, there is not the possibility that the print head from drying.

Remember: three hours did not do anything - and even if the printer was switched on all the time, it will be cleaned once even (!). Namely minutes.

While my old Canon has almost never been cleaned - I print yes regularly - makes the non-stop it and consumes each on its own all the time the expensive Canon ink.

Aside from the annoying wait until the device is then again ready and you just stupid sitting in front of the printer: Apparently one has found a way to increase the ink usage automatically astronomical ...

So one must unfortunately say great in terms of print performance. But in consumption then ultimately unspeakably expensive.
