Canon Pixma iP4950, inexpensive, good - recommended!

I wanted to buy myself a new printer, since my old soon gives up the ghost.
I sought a favorable printer, with very good reviews.
Of course I looked at this and what it costs me to run.
Priced at about 1 per cartridge I find it really cheap, especially compared to my old discarded HP Photosmart, (integrated print head cartridge) in which the sentence to the 80 would have cost.

And we remain the same in the cartridge:
When unpacking, I noticed right away that the cartridges are a bit small. But does not matter because they keep still long and do not cost so much!
However, I have eingesaut me when inserted into the printer's fingers with the black Photo Print Cartridge pretty.
The cartridges were with me down completely open, instead of the usual film which is pierced normal at the onset.
The image quality with this cartridge is very good!

The printer itself was built very quickly, and thanks to the guidance of well-described, he was set up quickly without the PC.
The installation of the driver software is self-explanatory, but I needed 2 attempts had recognized the printer to the software.

It prints very quickly and quietly, which I particularly like. In addition, you can set it even quieter.
The photo quality is very good and duplex also works wonderfully. But when he consumes duplex additionally the color cartridges.

A selling point was the fact that my father are the IP3600 home, and from which is only excited.
There is nowhere that the cartridges used in both printers are compatible, but structurally it is the same cartridge.

All in all, the printer at this price a top unit. Quality-conscious will be sure to grab more expensive devices, but I am with
This device completely satisfied.
Strong buy recommendation!

EDIT:
Have the printer for several months now and am on the printing speed / quality etc. still enthusiastic.
The cartridges are not recognized by the IP3600 iP4950 chip due.
And on the life of the cartridges I'm not quite so happy.
The need then, if you quite often something prints, but quite a lot of ink.
Have an average monthly consumed a cartridge set.
So wenns be avoided sichs, I'll no longer quite as much as before printing.
I would also add that I had a few days where I printed a lot on glossy photo paper.
Very good quality and had a set of cartridges after 4 days by.
As a professional with a lot of color printing but it should then be a printer)
If I had my original cartridges for almost 50 purchase per set, the printer would probably have been just a few weeks into my possession.
