Dear Friends ,
I just bought a second one for my parent in laws. It is great for personal use. Exceptional quality, photo quality print on kodak photo paper, hey if noone even noticed it was printed. The copy feature is excellent and saves trips elsewhere. I homeschool my children so the copy feature is definitely an exceptional tool.
It prints really fast and has built in memory so it isn’t taxing your system to print ( unlike lexmark in particular) . The scanner works great, I’ve scanned documents, pictures, worksheets, and more. The ability to also do a color copy is really nice. While I’ve only used it a couple times its still nice to know its there.
Setup is a breeze, the only glitch I had to do is delete the printer from device manager then install the software.
Aligning is a snap, it prints the alignment sheets you put it on the scanner and it aligns itself.
There isn’t a more simple printer. Lexmark is cheaper but it doesn’t have the memory buffer, is a system resource hog, and
takes forever to print color ( despite claims) .
I’ve never seen a canon that worked for any real length of time.
Epson is okay but can’t hold a candle to this plus constantly is running into bugs.
Both HP and Lexmark make sturdy reliable printers and I’ve used both have been pleased. Lexmark’s downfall is its time on printing and system resource usage. So this is your best bet for
this price range.
I’ve been happy and you will be as well.
