5.0 out of 5 starsEXCELLENT PRINT QUALITY
Reviewed in Canada on January 26, 2023
Purchased this to replace two different Canon Pro100's that I have been using for 20 years. Reading other reviews this fit what my needs are today. Didn't want an all in one, didn't want to use it for anything but colour photos. Didn't need super fast printing and didn't really cars about 2 paper trays but it's part of it so fine.
The good: It's print quality is every bit as good as the Pro 100 which I had been very happy with. It's much lighter and easy to move around. Main thing is the print quality and this prints great colour quality so that's all the counts for me.
Not so good: The screen is not a touch pad, only works using up/down, side to side arrow keys on front of printer. Touch pad would be better. Paper tray is automatic, extends out once pointing is going to start. This may be neat but it's just something else that can malfunction down the road and if it won't extend you can't print anything. A manual tray would have been better. Installing to work with my Mac desktop was a nightmare. I've installed 3 Canon printers and 1 HP over the years and this was the worse. I use a Catalina operation system and the install went fine until I asked my desktop to recognize printer via my home wi-fi.
Desktop wouldn't allow connection to be made after multiple tries so had to call Apple support. After over an hour on the phone and getting to senior tech he finally found a way to work around the blockage and connect to my wi-fi. This was an aggravation I didn't need and have never had before. Was it the printer's fault, I don't know but never happened before.
Aside from these few negatives I'd rate the printer as supurb so far. Given the price it is an excellent buy as long as print quality continues and there are no service issues after more usage.
