Have these printers purchased as a second machine for my daughter who has to copy only from time to time what print for school or. Even after the initial power during commissioning the printer drew attention by annoying long printhead cleaning on a bad habit, which has since accompanied us nonstop. No matter whether a printing operation is started or stopped, every time the device automatically starts its cleaning function, which is also accompanied by loud clicks and crunching Rattergeräuschen. After not even mixed in total 20 pages A4 printed, not the entire surface in color, but normal with some text, paragraphs and a few small pictures in continuous text the device rekalmierte an empty color cartridge and shortly afterwards the software cartridge. Nagut I thought to myself, the starter cartridges are so often deceptive and only half full, so immediately bought the XL cartridges and hoped that the duty cycle of my daughter appreciated by max. Hold 150 sheets of A4 per year and only a year - far from it - the great Druckkkopfreinigungsfunktion a la Canon makes it possible that the two XL cartridges that fewer than 46, -EUR had tasted, after nearly 2 months were empty again. I think that Canon uses this technology deliberately to draw the money out of your pocket in the form of entirely overpriced ink consumers. I bought this for Fehlkonstruktion no 3.rd set ink more, but given the now almost half a year old device for electronic waste. Just as the bubble jet printer products the venerable Canon include namely towards all. A former in-my possession MP-970 had the disease namely already, just with the difference being that this machine a complete set of inks consisting of 7 cartridges (2x black, 3x colors and 2x Photo color) equal to about 100, -EUR ripped a real hole in our budget account, but after 3 months in which little has been printed, and were empty again. In this printer, the so-called. Purge Unit was then after almost 3 years (ink receptacle) and defective part Canon not provided a repair of the same, although the printer 400 new, -EUR had cost. Thus I must now assume that Canon customers systematically cheating with a questionable technology because it is not included the own revenues in the form of a completely unacceptable increased ink consumption by the second more modern equipment. Conclusion - Stay away from this crap. Buy some best a small laser printer because dries nix, even after years of not.
