" ... Very happy with this printer. ... "
" ... It doesn’t slow your system down and your start ups either, like hp👍🏻 Very good photos, oh and the sheet print time is good but what you must know is printers when you don’t use them often take time when you print the first page in a while, hp takes forever to print the first page and sounds like a junkyard this has fair time and sound levels on first page prints👍🏻 ... "
" ... It prints very well. ... "
" ... The print and graphics on these settings are clear, and I am quite happy with the speed of print. ... "

" ... Starter cartridges did not last long, probably 100 printed pages on Draft. ... "
" ... Cost of a replacement printhead approached cost of a printer so thought I'd give canon another try. ... "
" ... Bought this to replace an HP Photosmart c4780 inkjet all in one. ... Just started replacing ink cartridges, love that each color is separate, the cost to replace ink is incremental as each color goes low. ... "
" ... Replaced an aging HP deskjet two ink cartridge model wired printer (8 years oldish). ... It uses less ink and after about 300-400 print jobs for color coupons I have only had to refill the paper tray. ... If you look for deals you can get the Canon cartridges in really good deals. ... "
" ... Like most similar printers, the real cost is in the refills! ... "
" ... Wish Cannon could offer color cartridges at a more reasonable price. ... "
" ... The printer takes 6 ink cartridges, so you can replace specific colors when they run out instead of replacing colors when they aren't empty (as the magenta-cyan-yellow cartridges make you do). ... "
" ... Goes through the ink kind of quick on not a ton of printing. ... "

To me it's quiet enough to not hear it from more than 10 feet away and at most you only hear paper on paper noise. ... However, if it held more paper I'm sure it'd increase the foot print in height of the unit and that would be okay. ... "
