Customer Ratings & Reviews

Getting set up was a bit cumbersome (no manual) and the rear feeder is not intuitive. First page print time is a little long. Print quality is excellent and loading the ink was very easy.

Great value. Prints and responds very quickly. Tank ink filling is easy and very convenient. The only drawback I’ve noted is that the scanned images are not the exact same color

Unlike epson products, THIS WORKS !!!!! I scanned 30+ pages with the Auto Document Feeder and no problems.

So far the printing is beautiful. The one picture I printed came out a little dark and not really clear. I'll try again when I need to.

I think this unit is great it fax scan prints and copy all of what I needed after my HP 6070 died. The add ink is simple and clean, set up was fairly easy.

Excellent, economical and multi tasking ability. Don't need to worry ink catridge every few weeks as other printers.

This printer is delightful and it was a snap to set up. The print is bold; the colors are bright. I'm very happy.

so far so good! No problems with it yet I've had it for about 2 months very nice

Very happy with this Canon printer. Was easy to set up. Have not completed the FAX setup, but that doesn't appear to be hard.

Prints great and connectivity is good for a small home office with daily use.

I love it and it very fast that i use it for every thing

So far, printer is working great. Black and colors look great.

Just excellent, fast, quality, durability, perfect

Great printer only thing that I find an issue with is that after searching for the setting to have it print out the fax receipt it was unable to do so but other than that the printer works great!

So far so good. This printer is working like a charm. We have a school teacher and a high school student in our household, and this printer is already making a difference.

SO FAR SO GOOD, QUIET & EFFICIENT, THE EASE OF PURCHASE AND CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS COMMENDABLE. I ALSO APPRECIATE THE PROMPT DELIVERY

Totally awesome printer! Easy setup and does exactly as described! Love the automatic duplex feature (double sided printing). Great product

Tl;dr I’d recommend this printer if you need lots of good looking, color print outs and have some time to wait for them. A fast 9 pages per minute single sided will have you making flyers in no time. Double sided documents must be slowed down to reach the same quality Generally speaking, you can buy a cheap printer with expensive cartridges or an expensive printer with cheaper consumables. Canon is moving to the head of the pack when it comes to cheaper consumables, offering up to 16,000 pages from a single set of ink. Needless to say, I can’t confirm if Canon is lying, but I can say Canon is delivering this low cost per page with consistent, quality printing. That’s significantly better than ink jet printers I’ve used from Brother. Unfortunately, this is not a perfect unit that I can recommend to everyone. You can choose faster printing or double sided printing, but not both. When printing double sided pages, the ink doesn’t have enough time to dry before the page is sucked back through the rollers for printing on the other side. This results in some ghosting of text or images located near the bottom of the page. This can be fixed by increasing the drying time setting on the printer or by printing single sided only. With the drying time increased, the printer goes from 5 pages per minute (double sided) to 2 pages per minute. My friends Brother, color laser printer in his home office does 12 pages double sided per minute by comparison. It cost around the same amount up front. While his page cost is ~$.04 for consumables, this printer is < $.01 using Canon’s excellent ink. The printer was easy to set up and fairly easy to use. I had the printer out of the box and on the cart is < 5 minutes thanks to flexible, but strong cardboard packing materials. It was solid, but not heavy, weighing about half of my friends printer. Set up can be done through an app or a web page. Connecting it to WiFi was very straightforward. Loading the ink was similarly easy. It’s amazing how much ink the printer’s reservoirs go. While the print speed may be slow, the print quality is great (other than the ghosting issue mentioned above). Text is clear and precise. Mixed with graphics, this printer is hard to beat! The small office type color laser printers do not handle graphics and pictures as well, even at a higher cost per page. The single sided scanner can be set to use a variety of web services. E-mailing scans requires configuring an outgoing mail server, but gets the scan where it needs to be quickly. It isn’t the fastest around, but gets the job done in a pinch. The LCD screen is convenient for some things, but isn’t really large enough to make more than a few basic changes. It’s a touch screen and fairly responsive, but requires you to enter passwords and email addresses using the alphabet on a U.S. phone keypad. Also, it’s hard to access the screen when standing up as it doesn’t tilt up. Overall, this is a decent printer released at a time when fewer and fewer people are using paper. Therefore, the main use for this printer is destined to be flyers and other, similar collateral. For that, the double sided printing issue will not be a problem. It just means tweaking the printer setting each time double sided is needed. 4 stars for being a good value, just not quite the printer to rule them all.

Being not tech savvy I had my son set it up. This printer does not need special cartridges so much better.

If you are looking for a nice printer, this might me the one to grab. We have a home office, and we need a big printer or one that can print lots of pages fast. Mega tanks are the best way to go, because you won't have to purchase ink for quite some time. I've been using mega tank printers for a long time, and I don't buy ink very often. This printer is on the smaller size, so it can actually fit in more places than you might think. The controls are ready to understand, and the least techie person can't figure this out. The screen on the outside could be a little bigger, as I wear glasses. It's kinda hard to see at times, but definitely not a major issue. Won't be for most people that use this printer. It holds a lot of paper, so that won't be an issue either. After using it for about a month, it's worth it in my opinion. It's on the higher side in price, but most of these mega tank style do cost more than other printers. The value you get from buying one of these makes sense.
