Canon PIXMA iP8720 + PGI-250 PGBK / CLI-251 CMY Combo Pack + 50 sheets Photo Paper Plus Glossy

If you’re a photographer or graphic designer, do not buy this. I’ve looked everywhere for canon paper icc profiles. Canon says they’re included with the driver but I can not find them anywhere on my computer. After some research, others have had the same problem. Canon does not let you download them from their site. I’ve tried contacting customer support and no response. Without icc profiles, you cannot print accurate color. This is ridiculous. Never buying a canon printer again.

I have had this printer for 2 years and getting it to print anything is a constant struggle. When it decides to work it prints great but that is a rare occurrence. The most persistent problem it has is that it will not recognize the paper. Printing the most straightforward document turns into a 20 minute process when you have to constantly load and unload the paper, hoping against hope that it will finally work. The other problem Ive had with it is that it doesnt recognize the ink. Even after replacing low ink it still says that the ink is low. It refuses to print in black and white if any of the color ink is low. This printer is completely unreliable and I am dumping it ASAP.

I have been buying canon printers for years. This must be their worst printer ever made. Where do I start? The wireless connection is horribly unstable. My printer is located 1 foot from my wifi router. 70% of the time when I try to print the printer is not reachable, or it will print one page then become unreachable, or it can be reached from one device but not another. Net-net, it is near impossible to print something when you need it. What else? Oh, on most Canon printers, if the front panel is closed, when you print something, it gracefully opens the panel for you and prints. Not this one. You have to walk down to the printer and manually open the front panel for printing to commence. It has 5 ink colors (blue, cyan, yellow, black and grey). If you order a replacement ($47), it does not include the grey - that is a seperate order, and another $13! I have had mine for about 2 months and think we are going to have to throw in the garbage and start over once this ink pack runs out.

This printer was purchased to replace ANOTHER Pixma that had the print head die prematurely, were it refused to align and the values were maxed out. 7 months and about 150 pages later Im right back were the other model died, the print head, black will continue to print more and more blurry until its a complete mess, and the solution from Canon is to replace the print head, which is half the cost of the printer.

Do not buy. I am trying to print simple Avery labels and it will not print! What I have noticed with this printer is if you do not select the correct paper type it will not print at all and will just continue to feed the paper through. Apparently Canon printers only print on Canon specialty papers. Canon does not make labels and therefore I am unable to print labels. I have read the forums on the canon website and seems like this is a known and ongoing issue that canon does not seem keen on fixing. DO NOT BUY.
