Actually, the printer is a 5 star printer. I am Canon fan for a long time and was the first time the IP 5000 disappointed with the short shelf life of the printhead, perhaps triggered by the use of genuine ink. Now after buying the MG 5350 I'm convinced placed the next bad buy. My desire was a very good print on photo paper. This makes the printer ideal and also attracts a thick papers properly. But what is absolutely useless, is a permanent cleaning procedure of the print head. Firstly, ink is destroyed in abundance, the other one waits some minutes on the first expression. Since you have over its predecessors also reduces the ink tanks, the printer is in a very short time several times paid (complete cartridge 50, -). A switch to third-party manufacturer for the ink I did not succeed on photographic paper. The photos were printed with inks from other manufacturers in the wrong colors because the print head after a print (1 sheet) failed .So again buy Origin Altine, intensive cleaning, intensive cleaning etc. and again new cartridges. And I was once so enthusiastic about Canon printers ..... Now there is the photo service (though not immediately) for the pictures and a printer to the competition for the text (where black ink is used for black text)
