Canon - PIXMA MG5250 - Multifunction Photo Printer Inkjet - 11 ipm - wifi (Personal Computers)

Customer Review

Benefits:
- Multifunction performance
- Wifi very easy to install (on a networked PC router, Windows XP, Vista and Seven: no difficulty installation and reconnaissance)
- Excellent photo printer (professional quality, remains to be the life pictures announced by Canon!), Possible two-sided printing, many features (cut 2 or 4 in 1 ...).
- Scanner performance: very good resolution and good color, practical functions from the supplied software but also from the control panel.
Ability to create scan directly (from the control panel) to recordable pdf format directly on USB stick or SD card or by transfer to a PC connected to the shared WiFi network: very convenient to simply archive documents
- Photocopier also very convenient: choice of efficient automatic settings
- Comprehensive software suite Canon.

Disadvantages (fairly minor, but that led me to put only 4 stars instead of 5):
- Gloss black finish extremely dirty (fingerprints, dust ...) and I'm afraid ultimately a scratched and unattractive appearance (time will tell).
- Control screen holds up well in two positions: flat or vertical (not very practical)
- Wifi detection of all PCs on the network too slow (I'm a user who does not let his printer on but the lights only when needed). The PC detects the well quickly, so no worries to print quickly, but if we want to scan and send a document directly on a PC connected to the network, wait ...
- Record multi-language very large and very impractical (overlapping of different languages)
- Help is only in html format, there is not even a manual pdf manual (or in the delivered package or on Canon's site): unacceptable!

Summary: I'm not disappointed, despite these drawbacks.
I think it is an excellent choice for those seeking a multi-function that prints and scans (I wanted a real scanner) property, including photos (although the photo printing costs are still more expensive than that obtained among professionals). In addition to a really fair price.
For the ink consumption (and cost of operation) see test:
