Superb quality, sleek looks, reasonable footprint, non-vanilla colour scheme - all reasons for choosing this printer aside from its main selling point..superb picture quality.

Yes..I thought long and hard before choosing this printer. I previously used Epson and HP, both reasonable but both, especially the Epson suffering from reliabilty issues.

As with all printer purchases, one has to look at the whole life of the product - the printer is the initial and often cheapest part of the deal. We all know that Printer Company's make their money of ink sales, and I was fearful of the Canon ink being at a premium.This has proved not to be the case, with the ink no dearer that other manufacturers. The cartridge set up on this printer lends itself to to ink economy with its separate units, and that is all before you even consider ink re-sellers.

Quiet in operation, superb printing in all modes, including photo reproduction, excellent connectivity and great looks make this a definite recommendation
