Significant weaknesses form the lower paper drawer + Paper Feed System: Once the paper is not exactly loaded (and reveals itself not immediately), is rigorously produced jam, which is fatal especially in the initial setup (print head alignment), because this has to be interrupted constantly.
One has first to bow out, but it works the mechanism, in no way comparable to that of the MP 6xx o. Ä., Whose tray remains completely hidden and incorrect insertion by design not even allowed.
Already after the first printing clogged nozzle for black text expressions. - A nozzle cleaning was necessary, and the cost of ink.
The readiness of the device for printing arises by no means a quick, once one of the numerous maintenance operations provoke impatience.
The expressions are otherwise, in addition to all this little problems, in a very good quality, whether text (fast) or photos (rather slowly).
The device has been added to the meetings, moderate printing costs (text printing) and thanks to the very fine nozzles that result in the ideal case is also really good, thanks not least to the pigmented ink for text printing and 5 separate tanks.
The tanks cost from the original manufacturer is not necessarily an asset, especially as the range compared to the Epson T0715er sets is much higher. - This was also one of the reasons for purchase. Even better you drive well when Much printers with the HP Office jet 6000 and 8000 series.
Finally, a remark on the piano black finish: Pls let that, dear producers, or makes the surface very scratch-resistant.
Tend matt optics are again slightly more coming, but in this pleasure to get only the smaller offspring, the IP 2700th
Conclusion: had a lot of trouble with the establishment. - But a recommendable device, who wants to save the CD-pressure (IP 4XXXer, MP 6xx) and no office animal with cartridges of extremely high capacity is required in the result.
Update 04:11:10:
Mitlerweile boils, and the quality of expressions is really very presentable. - The gruff, lower paper feeder can make a little timid, surrounded by the printer to night mode.
Therefore (very nearly) 4 stars.
17:01:11: devaluation due warranty claim
Well, posted times to clarify why the printer despite pedantic Print Head Alignment can not print straight sets reasonable vertical lines at regular intervals. - And why the texts are shown worse in best mode than in the normal.
I think this will be my last my Canon.
25.01.2011: depreciation due to poor Warranty Processing
Communication and information on repair status 1a, but they have not diagnosed the problem with offset printing. - Embarrassed only that the enclosed you test pressure (not even a really meaningful) demonstrates the problem in printed calibration cross. - Puck.
To strip prone pressure on S / W "Normal" (which my shabby Epson SX 100 in the low-price segment even without streaks riff) I was succinctly pointed it to take the best setting.
This was my last Canon. ^^
