 - High-Quality Printer That Does It AllStrengths: Versatile (scans, prints high-quality photos and text, duplexes) & Easy to Use (controls are intuitive and functions can be accessed without menus) Weaknesses: Expensive Ink I love this printer. I replaced a scanner and a printer on my desk with one unit no bigger than either I had. I expected the controls to be complicated since this baby could duplex, feed from multiple trays, print from many file sources, and do so much else. I was pleasantly surprised at how intuitive the user interface is. The scroll wheel allows access to all functions without having to guess which menu you need to choose. Graphic images accompany the choices to make it faster. Choosing the top or lower paper feed tray is the simple matter of selecting from two dedicated buttons that have idiot lights to confirm the choice. Even the print driver makes default selections easy. Rating: - The "Best" you can buy...Stunning! This printer is incredible! I purchased this printer by Adorama, over Amazon which is always a good shopping experience - fast delivery good and solid product as promised. This printer is the yellow of the egg! Great looking - the picture at Amazone is a clear understatement. Yes, he is quite of fair size like others already explained in their evaluation. He is exactly 18 inches wide and 16 iches deep. You also need to calculate a few inches at the front for the papertray and some space above to open the scanner glass. Anyway, he is worth every inch and it pays to reserve this space for this great printer - the best I ever experienced. The print quality is simply stunning and far above anything what you get from processors at drugstores. I use only Canon paper, 4x6 and 8x10, mostly "Glossy 2" but quality is equal with other Canon papers. I never tried any aftermarket paper products - I am using this printer for pro pictures only and don't like to mess up by being cheap on the paper. Solid paper flow without jams regardless if I use the tray or manual feed. Great and refreshing. I planned to just have this printer for fast emergencies and continue to send everything out. I changed my mind because the print quality is simply amazing. Scanner and all other features work fine but I use primarily photo printing from the computer. The set up took just a few minutes and was easy. It comes with good and simple instructions. The software installation runs merely automatic and is also very simple. Anyone can do it. A complete set of (full) print cartridges comes with it and there are also a few sheets of paper to try. The cartridges are replacable one by one if they are empty - no need to purchase the whole color set as one unit. The handling is easy even without study of the manual - everything well done for simple use despite the high tech capabilities. A great buy for a very good price. I have this printer in my photo shop but he would look exclusive in the best furnished office. This printer rocks! Rating: - Works great so far!Printing and scanning are fast enough for my needs and look great. Very happy. Rating:  - Not for the technically challengedInitially I was so excited. Invitations on matte paper provided with printer came out beautiful. Took me a while to figure out how to do a simple copy. I am used to the kind you put original in the back, you hit a button and it pops out the front. Now I am trying to figure out how to just get a plain black and white photo to copy black and white instead of purple/pink faded tingt and the details of the photo not clear. When I have more time I will have to talk directly to Technical support. The e-mail method was not helpful as I have already read the manual from front to back a couple of times. I think eventually I will learn to love it as soon as I quit lopping off heads and producing prints that are half off the page--I guess that's a bit of an exageration. Some of my pictures have come out professional quality--amazing. Rating: - As Expected!Canon Pixma MP610 Photo All-On-One Inkjet Printer (2180B002) After reading all the reviews, we purchased the MP610 to replace our dead scanner....Although we have had it only a short time it has proved to be a very capable piece of equipment, performing as we had anticipated according to the reviews. If you are not a professional, this unit will do a great job for the average user! The rebate made it even more attractive and practical.
