In unpacking the printer is quite bulky and heavy. To remove all protections, switch it on, put all the cartridges, and calibrate the nozzles, it is already a quarter of an hour. We add about as much to set up the wifi, install the software and run the first tests. Fortunately, no one is guided and it is not within the reach of everyone. The printer is beautiful and quiet. The photo quality is very good, better than my Pixma IP 4850. Scan and copy functions are very simple to use. You can activate a low power mode, which prints duplex. Card readers are hidden under a flap at the front right. Wifi in response times are good and it has diagnostic tools that appears on the PC in case of ink problem. No fax function.
The cartridges are very light, were the same as on the Pixma IP4850, they are very vites emptied, including the cleaning function of systematic nozzles startup. To keep a good quality picture, it is important not to use compatible cartridges, for use only in office, it will be advantageous to use them to reduce the cost per page.
Canon, reducing the size of each generation of cartridges in printers, the cost per page flies from year to year. Other brands can replace the basic cartridges by others in size XL reducing the cost of use.
