Disadvantages
- Poor quality for photo printing. Even on Höchter setting strips
- Photos appear faded. Superimposes no contrast, no color depth, black looks gray, white very quickly
- Has the 2/3 cartridge already sucked empty when initializing, since the print pattern was never complete! 13 times cleaned in series until it was good
- Slate collection of A3 sheets, even with use of the rear compartment
- Very loud
At first I really liked the printer. That was when unpacking. Even when initializing the print image was so bad that I had to start 13 times the cleaning process again until it looked good. After 20 A3 paper printed up - colors were faded to gray, to outshine, had no color. Have ever handled with the fine adjustments to the print image was OK. Then the next terror - large areas of color on photos and graphics are streaked, even at the highest setting. The move is almost always wrong, even with use of the rear compartment.
Tired to annoy me with him. Had the little brother (5850) and annoyed me constantly jams, a moderate ink consumption through constant cleaning processes and oblique feeder. Thought it would have been better, but instead the time still good print quality has lousy and the remaining teething have been retained.
Have now prefer 20 upped the ante and brought me the Canon ix6850. Although no scanner, no copiers, no duplex unit ... but the pictures are a splendor! Wow, even on bad paper pictures look good. Not to compare with this one. And as the Canon is quieter and faster.
Conclusion:
Who a copier, scanner and A3 printer is needed for his office with this here still well served. Very convenient all-round solution. Texts and simple graphics he also prints satisfactorily. Wifi works fine, cartridges are easy to change for employees. The copy unit can be operated comfortably.
Those who want to buy but the printer for photo prints should rather refrain and spend a few euros more. For about 20 more of Canon is to have ix6850, which in my opinion provides excellent images. Here is annoyed about otherwise unnecessary.
