I stood at my photo dealer and I just liked only the simply-beautiful look of this printer and the quality workmanship. Unlike other Canon bombers he's not so great. Canon software I am a Mac user but not a lot of good usual. Anyhow, I bought the device. The software is remarkably well and provides very useful configuration options. So you have, for example, a scan does not end up in Nirvana, but can (/ Custom Photo / document) define for each scan individual scanning names and places. This creates order quickly. Scanning is therefore a great joy. The resolution, etc. can also easily change. Things that are secondary as office printer specialist at HP, for Photo friends but decisively. So the cutting is clear digital imaging. He has probably not OCR, do not care.
Handling: The guy is cracking black and disappears optically ever in a dark corner, just like me. The Canon has the controls labeled elegant white, will help as much further. The OSD menu is nice, but a matter of taste. Not stupid: The configuration options of the desktop software are displayed here analogously. And what is configured on the computer, is stored on the printer.
Print quality: The prints I can not complain. Noise is there, but seriously: who prints because even around the clock? (Funny, you can adjust even to that time he should be quiet ;-)) Have me a pack Canon Photo Paper gained so sometimes everything can fit. And it does very reliable. Brilliant colors, streak-free printing.
Faxes can not. Do I need really not, because after 15 years in private households with fax and 3 inserts the topic with me sometime rum. When I think of the power consumption, I could probably make me a courier company. As yet there solutions offered by each online provider.
Energy consumption: You can adjust fine when it shuts itself down. That's something!
WLAN beware: The printer has absolutely no network connection, but only wireless access !! Consistently. I had not expected, but was not a problem. Those who know his network, get out the. Of course, I had failed, first release the network for new users and wanted to treat myself to the first disappointment. So rest intelligence switch and increase the chances dramatically! The wizard is really trying to help you.
Imaging Park Creative Solution Heaven cloud community stuff I have not tried. I want to print only, not online the vain Gockel. And have not even 500MB useless stuff lying on the plate. Please try it yourself, if desired.
Recommendation: Can you buy. User-friendly and designed for photo enthusiasts. If you're looking in the crumbs, is nowhere happy.
Addendum: The configuration options for energy consumption and filing folders are great, unfortunately, but that rarely attracts the corresponding function by itself. It's probably still a difference if you configured the computer or via printer directly. a deduction of points. Buy recommendation remains.
