I bought this printer because my previous Canon has given up the ghost, after at least 5 years. This printer had convinced me because of its price-performance ratio, after all this time is also a scanner here. The ink consumption is unlike my previous Canon printers immensely! The first cartridge contained at least in the delivery were shown to a handful of pages of text even as only three-quarters full. I am particularly upset that the printer takes a long time to boot up. In this case, it displays the status of the Tintnpatronen. At the start of the warm-up a cartridge is still with the warning level yellow angzeigt (almost empty), then the printer is warming up, makes noises, rattles and Zack, suddenly the almost empty Partone is completely empty. Overall, I feel that the printer can evaporate the ink well, especially during warm-up. Thankfully, there are cheaper cartridges, as the purchase of Canon itself, otherwise one would have to once a year, a new printer. Then you would Günster them than if you every time would buy 5 new cartridge itself.
