Advantages: Scanner was ok Disadvantages: terrible prints, large, cant send back
-----| First Impressions |-----
Came well packed, no clutter and was easy to unpack. I got the whole printer connected up and ready to install in about 10 minutes. All the parts were very easy to install, and the manual was good as it was just easy to follow pictures and i got up and running in no time.
All good so far. However it is a bit large, bigger than i thought it would be for something that only printed A4.
-----| Software |-----
The ... ...however there is a lot of it, several different programs as it’s a multifunction device, printer/scanner/copier. Which i think could have been bundled into one well thought out program to save my desktop being flooded.
I bought this printer because it said it was specifically for photos, so that’s what i tried first, and the software was very good at getting me set up to print, it lets you turn on functions like colour correction and vivid colour ...

Advantages: Prints, Scans and Copies and isn't that expensive Disadvantages: Not top notch quality; slightly flimsy
Design
Looks & Feel: Not the most attractive printer, but suitably executive looking and smart enough for any office. It is designed compactly, and so a lot of functions are crammed into not that much space. The scanner/photocopier part that lifts up is very flimsy and does not give the impression of a good, solid piece of equipment.
User Interface: The button panel on the front of the printer is incredibly easy to operate. ... ..."photocopy in B&W". There's a "SCAN" button, and an LED display that shows how many pages there are left to print. Completely foolproof!
Size: As I mentioned, it is relatively small and fairly light, and will fit on most coffee tables or even on most chairs. About the size of four shoeboxes.
Installation/Connecting to the PC
Fairly simple. You are provided with a CD, from which you install the basic software. Then you just need to ...

Advantages: Cheap, reasonable quality Disadvantages: medium speed
I recently purchased the canon mp160 as my old all in one printer was rubbish.It jammed all the time and was very slow! I thought that the printer was quite cheap as were the ink cartridges. i made the mistake before of buying a cheap printer but the cartidges were a rip off!
Installation was easy, as the quick guide and installation CD are very simple. It only took about 15 minutes to set everything up before I was on my way.
The printer is not ...

Advantages: Easy to install, easy to use Disadvantages: A seperate USB cable needs to be purchased
Ordered the canon mp160 as my old all in one printer was very old and no longer working effectively.
I liked the fact that this printer was reasonably inexpensive and the cartridges appear to be cheap.
Installing the printer is very easy. The quick guide and installation CD are very easy to use, and I had installed the printer to be computer in less than 10minutes.
The printer is not as fast as some, but as far as I can tell the print outs are ...

Advantages: easy to use, easy to change ink cartridges, good print quality, can print straight from carmera Disadvantages: a bit on the large side, not compatible with all camera's
This printer is easy to use from the start. From the setting up of the printer to the actual printing. The instruction manual and cd-rom are idiot proof. The cartridges are easy to install and readyly available to purchase (and not to expensive either).
The print quality is excellent even if you are using a low quality paper. Obviously the paper the better the quality. I use mine to print a lot of things for hand made cards and scrapbooking and ... ...This is an all round good printer/scanner/photo copier with lots of useful features such as printing straight from your camera and the 'fitting to page' button.
Excellent value for money and an ideal printer for families. Anyone can use it from kids doing school projects to mummy's that want to get a bit crafty!! ...

This no-compromise Photo All-In-One lets you get more done, right at home. You'll print beautiful, long-lasting photos, along with copies that are truer to your originals' images and text. The unique Z-Lid lets you produce clear, complete scans even of thick originals like personal notebooks. You can even print photos directly from a PictBridge compatible camera or DV camcorder - no computer required! Precision ink nozzles create high resolution photos - up to 4800 x 1200 color dpi. Microscopic 2-picoliter sized ink droplets produce finely detailed photos. Just capture an image with a PictBridge ready digital camera/DV camcorder, then connect and print! Produce high-quality scans up to 600 dpi with vibrant 48-bit color depth. Using select Canon photo papers, you can create beautiful photos that last up to 100 years. You can even copy or scan thick items that do not lie flat on the platen. The USB 2.0 interface enables the fastest possible image transfers and scanning speeds. Dual Color Gamut Technology ensures quality is automatically optimized based on the type of originals you are copying.
The only reason I bought this printer was that I had broken my previous one and therefore needed a replacement. By broken I mean I had dropped the power transformer onto the laminate floor as I had rather stupidly been carrying it by the cables, and the... more
After spending some time researching the latest photo-quality multi-functions, I decided on this model as it offered the best compromise on scan results and print speeds. Although I would have preferred a wireless-enabled machine, I was able to get... more
I bought this printer to replace the PIXMA ip1600 which I had before, prompted by the £20 cashback offer Canon was running at the time. This allowed me to purchase a multifunction machine for cheaper than replacing the cartridges on the ip1600!... more
When it comes to buying technology, I know absolutely nothing, so I tend to take advice. The usual advice is: buy the best you can afford. In this case the cost was only an issue in the value-for-money sense, not in the there-is-a-top-limit sense. ... more
Well if you fancy yourself as a bit of a photographer and take lots of photos and edit them, but you only use a normal Photo Printer to print your Photos then think again. This is one hell of a Printer, you achieve fantastic studio like photos from your more
I am really into the art of 'Scrapbooking' and so wanted a good photo printer to save me having to send and wait for my photo orders. I found my old printer would leave the usual 'photo printer' stripes. After browsing all the latest models I came across more
