Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought the Canon to replace an HP when HP no longer manufactured color cartridges or allowed 3rd party cartridges. I vowed never to give HP my money again. This one is a workhorse and the ink seems to last forever. My reasons for only 4 stars include: 1) it's slower than my old HP and 2) no automatic sheet feeder for scanning. Other than that it's a great printer

Bought this after the print heads went out on our Epson. Like the fact that the heads in this are easily replaced. A lot quieter operation than the Epson but wish it had an auto feeder for scanning. Prints way better pictures than an Epson. The only issue is the paper tray. Sometimes if you go to print and don't have the ability to pick which paper tray it automatically goes to the rear tray even if there is no paper in it. You then have to stop and start a few times before it auto picks up the main tray. Some prompts allow you to pick the main tray right away. Overall happy with purchase.

I love this printer it has allowed me to print a lot of pages that required lot of color. My favorite is on glossy paper because it is so vibrant.

It takes a while to set it up. Enclosed instructions could be prepared better especially for the print heads installation. Needed help by an expert to set-up W-fi. Once it's done it does work fine, printing and scanning. I have it on my three computers, had to install Canon iJ utilities software on each one of them to scan from a computer. Color pictures printed fine and double document printing is fine. Originally there were two additional black ink bottles included. Setup CD-rom is also included. Best buy delivered the item in two days as promised.

I have done inkjets with multiple cartridges. I have done black and white laser printers. I have done color laser printers. Cartridges are far too expensive, used cartridges take up space, too much packaging, too much of a pain to return and its a never-ending worry about cartridge life, toner life, toner wires, the dreaded "replace the drum" message -- it is all expensive. This one is the opposite. You add paper every once-in-a-while (it holds a LOT for a home printer) and I imagine I will be stocking up on ink for when it runs out. But the total cost for a full set of ink will be around that of a single OEM color cartridge for a laser. Or the price of the full set of 3 colors plus black from a refiller/remanufacturer, with the chance of quality issues or just not working at all. I can fill an ink tank, and the included set still has a little left... a nice warning when you are a few days or weeks out from needing a full refill. Buying a printer historically, for me, has always been an awful experience. Starter toner cartridges that hold enough to get you through a few months, then the sticker shock... finding your model number to get another box of messy inkjet cartridges ... No more. The current market for color laser printers is rough. In the market for refillable printers, you got epson, canon, maybe a couple others. Epson is getting dated. You have to go into the administration page to change the options to wake-on-network, so you don't have to power it up every time (this should be the default, Canon...) Setup? I interleaved set-up with several other tasks, mindlessly following the directions on the quick start guide. As I recall, it went "tear off orange tabs, install printer heads, fill tanks, go to web address to set up wifi". So mindlessly done, I recall absolutely nothing eventful or painful about setup. Nothing bad about it. After years of single-sided printing only, double sided printing is a nice paper-savings. And its no work. I do not print photos, so I cannot comment on that. It's pretty hard to beat commercial services for the cheap convenience and not having to add / stock photo paper. Printing from iphone and ipad? YES. Biggest new feature printing in my home has added -- no more cutting/pasting/routing/emailing -- just hit the share icon, scroll to print, voila. And I don't do reviews very often. So Canon did a good job designing and manufacturing it. Scanning / copying? Not able to comment on it, now that you can scan directly into an iphone or ipad. So buy one. Not that much money, a great value, and environmentally sensitive (and I am NOT a tree hugger by any means, but the amount of plastic waste in cartridges is insane).

Initially I needed help with the wifi installation of the software program because for some reason the program didn't work correctly. After the program was installed correctly the printer is doing a good job the few times I've used it so far. I've bought this printer primarily because my previous printer broke. I wanted something that was environmentally friendly and also something where I didn't have to buy printer cartridges every other month. The reason I gave it 4 stars was because the wifi installation wasn't working as it should have.

I love the printer prints great photos tiny bit hard to see the display screen but other than that works perfectly

The ink tanks are very big, have printed a lot of sheets of paper and the level has not gone down very much. Ink is easy to refill. Only problem I have had is the display is hard to read in dim light, it takes awhile to get used to how to set uo different printer settings.

It was easy to connect to our wireless network using the Canon SELPHY app. The LCD screen on the printer is a bit hard to see for my aging eyes but it is visible. One odd thing about the printer is that the control panel needs to be raised open instead of flush to the chassis for it to print. One star off for how loud the printer is when it is printing. Quality of print is good and the speed for printing is decent. Scan is also good. I would recommend this to people if they do not care about how loud the printer is while it is printing.

Comes with a huge amount of black ink. Great quality photo printing. A slight pain to get the driver downloaded. Using the supplied CD, it couldn't find the printer. Finally got it to work by doing it through the website. App does great for mobile printing, but I wish it would turn itself on when I send a document versus having to go turn it on for the printer to show on my device so I can send it. I'm happy overall.

Easy to set up, but the instructions to set up wireless read like a IKEA manual, had to down the manual and with help of You Tube, got it done. Works great, like the new ink system, prints, copies & scans faster than than my old Canon. Wireless response is faster too. Over last 20 yr. owbed 3 other canon printers as they were reliable, good print quality, and durable. Gave it a 4 star due to the lack of good instructions

Good printer so far. A little difficult to get connected, especially if you change your network settings after setup. Could not get it to connect via Ethernet cable at all, only wireless Ethernet. Takes a while to “warm up”, but not a big deal for me. Print quality is pretty good, I have not tried to print pictures, but simple graphics look good. Biggest plus is the jumbo tank sizes and came with three jumbo black tanks. And when those do finally run out they are not ridiculously expensive to replenish.

Now I run out of papper more often than ink. Colors are great. Only problem is keeping it connected to other devices via WiFi. Printer likes to go to sleep.

Ink lasts a long ti.e easy connection Not huge and Clunky, I like the wireless options,

The Tanks were so easy to fill, and the setup is a breeze. A great allinone printer with very easy use. First Canon printer ever purchased and well worth it.

Easy setup. Tanks work well. Quality output. Printing is quiet although a bit slow to start.

Printer is easy to set up, prints out great color pictures and is easy to refill the ink!

Easy set up. Comes with enough ink to last me for a very long time.

Plenty of ink. Not so great display, pending photo print test.

Set up was so easy, there are even videos to make it clear if you have any doubt at all. Through internet access, my devices recognized the printer/scanner without any effort on my part. Quality is as described. Love it!
