So I set out to look for a mid range All In One printer that printed photos well, had a good scanner, worked wirelessly and could print to from iPhone/iPad. It was driving me crazy looking through the options and finding it almost impossible to find one people didnt hate in some way or another! Then I found this on the Canon website and it was so new people didnt have chance to hate it yet! The few ratings it had on Amazon were mostly 5 Star....so.... given it was only a $100 I figured it was worth a punt. And, Ive had it 5 days and its exactly as advertised. Print quality is very good, prints photos very nicely, has duplex printing which is a big paper saver, a rear tray which you can load with photo paper which saves the hassle of swapping out plain paper and photo paper whenever you want to print photos. It also works on my Wifi network which is a HUGE plus because my last printer refused to connect unless i switched off the security. And it prints from my iPhone and iPad! RESULT! As I say, its only been 5 days but right now Im very happy.

Im more inclined to give low reviews, since Im picky and usually find things that annoy me. So I dont get a lot of 5 star items I end up with. Especially technology, as Ive worked with computers since the early 80s and am far, far more critical of technology than the average person. Im an Epson person, so I wasnt expecting much from this. I do have a Canon laser printer here at home but thats almost never used, I think the last time I printed anything with that was about 14 months ago. I usually use my Epsons both at home and work. Unboxing this was pretty typical - lots of tape, lots of cellophane. No different than any other printer. I like that this has a crosshatch pattern on the lid, so it is not a fingerprint magnet. That was my first pleasant surprise. If I was going to slam this on anything, it would be the ridiculously small paper tray underneath. Seriously. I will NEVER understand why another 1/2 to 1 inch in height to accommodate a real paper tray would just make printers so absolutely horrible. I wont take a star off for that though since unfortunately it seems to be the industry standard. Maybe its that people dont print much. I dont. Other than a few things for my son for homework randomly, I may print something three or four times a year. If I print 20 pages in a year, its a shock. And yes, even STILL, I think the paper trays need to be larger... Setup though - I can honestly say that in every make and model and type of printer I have ever set up, Mac, Windows, or IOS, nothing was this smooth and perfect and easy. Ever. Bar none, this was the absolute pinnacle of printer setup. I first set up her Macbook Air since thats what shes likely to print from the most. The "most difficult" part was typing in the URL to get to the setup page. They have a series of drawings you click "next" through showing you the prep step by step. Then you get to the connection page - in this case, it downloaded a DMG for the Mac (wouldve done an EXE for windows) and when I launched that, all the rest was autopilot. It found the printer automatically, no need for me to join its little ad hoc wireless or anything. It asked if I wanted it on the same wireless network the laptop was on. I said yes, and it did that. Done. That was it. Software was installed, and I was ready to print. Sent a 4x6 photo, and it printed in about 10 or 11 seconds. Then so she could print photos directly from her phone, I scanned the QR code, it took me to the download in the Apple store, downloaded. It asked if it should look for a printer when I hit the + to add a printer. I told it yes, and it found it. And again, setup done. I love that with that app you can easily scan to your phone, it will then give you the option to save the scan as a PDF or a JPG. Then you can do what you want with it, send it off, save it, etc... Easier than any other mobile printing software Ive ever used. Scanning worked well, no duplex scanning but thats fine. It does duplex print, and even the initial test prints did both sides of the paper. Print looks very nice, about the highest quality Ive seen for an inkjet, right there on par with my Epson that I love. Photos printed quickly and easily, and the scanner has been flawless whether from the Mac or from her iPhone. My son loves the red printer, thinks its the coolest printer hes ever seen since his favorite color is red. I also like that the tray extends automatically. I had an Epson that did that, but the first model wouldnt retract it, and pushing it back in felt like you were grinding gears. The next Epson I did finally included the ability to retract, but this one just does it smoother. You can also elect to leave it extended when you power down if youre leaving print jobs in it for the time being. The red one was half the price of the black one as of the time of this writing, so thats an absolute steal. If it werent for the fact that my Epson doesnt use ink cartridges but actual ink tanks, Id be tempted to get another of these for myself. So at half the list price, to get the printer that has the very easiest setup Ive ever seen? No brainer, this is the printer youve been looking for.

I am using this product for my home office and its more compact than I imagined. This is not a bad thing as it fits beside my desk and is not bulky. The setup was not difficult at all and as for any network connection setup, I had no issue whatsoever. I will say that instead of using the SSID instructions on the manual CD, I just used the WPS option on the printer itself and that worked faster than the manual way. So far, there have been no issues in print quality and the quiet mode helps with the noise. The ink does lower noticeably when I ran a few test prints, so if this is for people who print a lot, then I would choose another printer. However, if youre more of a home user that does not need to print daily then this printer is for you.

Finally, a home printer that works!! Until now, I have had the worst luck with basic, color, home printers ; bad quality printing and replacement ink cartridges that don’t work (even the brand name ones). This Canon PIXMA printer was easy to set up, easy for my iPhone and iPad to find, and excellent quality for printing recipes, flight/travel/order confirmations, and the occasional photo!!! I didn’t order it for photo printing, but tried one out for fun and it is like high-quality photo processing! The last home printer I had would blur lines every inch or so, so I couldn’t count on it at all. With this Canon, we were able to print out our Passport renewal forms. The ink has lasted OK, considering the excellent quality, especially for the included ink. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

I did a lot of research trying to find a replacement for my Canon Pixma MG7500 series which died too soon. I almost abandoned Canon but took a chance on this printer and Im so glad I did. This printer is better in every way than my old Pixma: - the print quality is far better for both photos and text, photos look amazing - its faster, - its quieter, - the rear tray and photo tray make printing headshots and photos easier (no sharing with regular paper), - the network is stable especially with my mac/iOS household. No more turning it off and on after if falls asleep. - the touch panel is faster and better designed. Its nice to see that Canon improved on everything that was wrong on the last generation of Pixma printers. Highly recommend.
