The printer is awesome printing speed is very good thanks to RAM I will suggest it is better than HPm1136 pro the only problem is it is a little difficult to prepare the printer.But if you follow the steps promptly there will be no problem I had 10 minutes to prepare and I will definitely suggest everyone with this printer as it is one of the best printers under 10k.
GO FOR IT
The printer performs fast and smooth and theres no issue with the hardware. Its only with the software which is lousy and clumsy. I use third party software to make use of my printer. I am sick of HP scanners and have bad experience with HP. This is my first Canon and I like it! Very good printer.
Pros
Light weight and good build quality.
Compact Design and easy to handle.
Quality of printing, scanning and copying is great.
Less Noise.
No overheat.
Speed of Scanning is fast.
Scan both b/w and colored images/documents.
Cons
No option to edit scanned image but can be done using editing option later so no big deal.
Toner is almost half filled. The most confusing dilemma an user would face when looking for a printer - LASER OR INKJET. A Question with a lot of sub-questions.
1) INITIAL EXPENSE(High Product Expense) or AFTER PURCHASE EXPENSE(high ink costs)?
2) Black & White or COLOR?
3) Single Function or Multi Function?
Before I start sharing my experience on this one, let me share my past, my previous printer experience- one of the most terrible and bitter experiences I had in my life and that too because of another world class companys product - EPSON ME 340 INKJET MULTIFUNCTION PRINTER.
After doing extensive research on several brands(HP, Canon, Epson) and types(Laser and Inkjet) of printers, I made a most terrible decision - to purchase EPSON ME 340. I dont believe in bad luck or fate.it was only because, I made some slight miscalculations or may be my whole research was on the wrong side.:(
My primary intention was to get a printer for home use- to satisfy my academic printing requirements. The reasons which influenced me in making my decision were
1) At that time, EPSON was the only one supporting 3rd Party Ink Tanks, so less printing cost can be achieved and that too with a Multi Function Color Printer.
2) The crooked salesman at my local IT shop cheated me by giving a false promise, that installing a 3rd Party Company tank wont affect my products guarantee. he also said he had handled several similar cases without any issues. I was totally trusting this guy.
3) Last but not least.i was so much blindly obsessed with brand EPSONs reputation.
