It is striking that he has very quiet and a good sound. The pressure is the standard super fast and razor sharp. The pressure is almost borderless (evenly on all sides 4 mm) and on photographic paper in fine perfect DIN A4 photos come out. So far I have printed 800 pages, of which about 20-30 photos in A4, everything to the fullest satisfaction. In the starter cartridge is still about 25% of color, so to reach the starter cartridges probably 1,000 pages in my mix.
I found that you can reduce the color intensity in the driver menu to save ink. In addition, you can specify the print that comes only with black. You can save these settings under specific profile name and has quick access later on. Whether this will also be used bright colors, I can not find so far.
A firmware update I've done and then turned off the automatic updating, as well as the "feedback" to Canon. This is because professional sides recommend that to prevent future excessive cleaning hunger of future updates or to prevent restrictions on refilled cartridges. Hooks logical. We know that HP) And first Canon wants to establish the new printer in the market ...
At the moment I can not find that he conspicuously often "cleans", even after a break of one week. Certainly the 2500 cartridge size is priced more interesting than the 1500s, when the print head is the same for all maxify (because of the normal, natural drying of the color on the printhead when rare use). And gets the printers sometime appetite to spray my precious ink pointless, it is at least cheaper. But then I will report here and devalue.
