As other reviewer said, this printer "will not print greyscale if any of the color ink cartridges are empty" -- and it will not scan either. Can't say the same about this model though. THIS IS SIMPLY ABSURD, I've never seen a printer behave like this. I had an old Canon and although it was kinda big and ugly (like this one), it was a fine printer that dealt well with the ink problem. On top of everything, printing over wifi is slow. DO NOT BUY.
i have never posted a review for a single product. i very rarely print something, and when i do, i need it right then. but my hate for this printer made me think, SURELY other people have written poor thing about this, maybe they have help for me. not only is the ink expensive for this, it's all individual and it CONSTANTLY runs out of "one" (say Magenta). not later -- after a trip to the store for more ink.it will NOT let you print/scan/fax if one of the ink cartiridges are out -- and i just went and purchased a new magenta so i could print these evening, ran tests to see if OTHER ink was low, and low and behold, after i replaced the magenta, of COURSE now the cyan and black are out as well.i hate you, canon MP620. you were a waste of money, mainly the ink cartridges, but more than that, a waste of my time dealing with you.i won't even begin to talk about the low quality of the color and the resolution.
I have been very satisfied with the MP620, and have recommended it to several friends who have in turn purchased their own. how it actually prints out. I bought this unit a year ago. The under cartridge hold around 200 sheets of regular paper, too, so I'm not constantly refilling the paper when I'm printing papers or the like. The scans could be a little better, but I don't use that feature very often. As my previous printer was an HP, and the first attribute I was looking for was a rear paper feed for thicker photo paper. These are invaluable in "tweeking" a photo's color on the screen vs.
I would recommend that if you're going to be doing high-end photo display, get the canon photo paper. I'm a theatrical designer who does a lot of photo printing and rendering on Photoshop, so I was looking for CYMK wireless all in one. Set up a proof view using the MP620 setting, have Photoshop manage the colors, and you're going to be as close as you can get without spending the extra money in on-screen color monitor hardware, which can get pretty pricey. I have not had a paper jam in over a year despite using cardstock and photo paper on a regular basis. As an avid Photoshop user, I was pleased to discover that the printer automatically installed its proof profiles onto Photoshop. It more accurately represents what's on the screen after the proof set up.The ink does run out pretty quick, but it's rather inexpensive at Staples, and if you join their Rewards Club, it's around $11 a cartridge (between the cartridge return refund and the 10% discount).The included software is easy to use and setting it up was far less complicated than I made it. They're certain acceptable for my applications.This is a great inexpensive photo printer for individuals on a budget, but who want decent photo reproduction and usability.
This is a pretty good printer except the time it takes to click print and for it to actually print, and the amount of ink it consumes.
Bought this product along with my Mac. Also, since the printer is out of ink, I can't utilize any of the other features such as scanning. Called Canon support and they told me that a U.S.-bought printer will not recognize inks made/purchased in Europe.
Then I moved to Europe and when the inks ran out I searched the stores, but could not find the exact match. or pay for international shipping and import duty fees. Worked great.
So, I either have to stock up on inks when I go back to the U.S. However, found inks that said work in MP620. Well, the printer would not recognize the ink.
C'mon. Wireless was not easy to setup, either.
