 Excellent Printer. You won't be disappointed! August 29, 2008
M. Babb
Many other people have described how good this printer is, but having seen it for myself I felt compelled to add my opinion and experiences...
Firstly, it is a large printer. The paper trays all fold in though, so when not in use it's relatively neat and dust-proof. (I'm convinced that dust in the sensors is what caused my old Epson to mis-feed all the time.)
Once you've installed the inks, you've got a 13 minute calibration time (automatic) and you're ready to go. No real need to look at the quick start guide, as the control panel and printer screen make this as easy to use as a photocopier. It's very intuative and clearly laid out.
Initially I tried a simple copy of a photograph. What surprised me (in order) are;
1. It scanned very quickly (compared to my Epson scanner, it's about three times faster)
2. The printing was so quiet I wasn't even sure it was doing anything until the paper started poking out.
3. The picture was produced faster than my old Epson (C46) could print text.
4. The quality was almost a perfect match for the photograph, with only a very slight colour cast.
I adjusted my printer settings, reducing the cyan a touch, and the next print was pretty much perfect, and still blindingly quick!
Next, an A4 borderless print, which was so clear, even and bright you would have thought it was a professional poster. An it only took just over a minute to print. Amazing.
Next, using cheap plain paper I tried some text. The quality was only set at "Good", not "Best" and it looked like it had come off a laser. Only faster. No joking, you could get paper cuts, it flies out that fast! A simple A4 letter with about 20 lines was printed in about 3 seconds.
Everything I've tried impresses me. CD printing (using the supplied software) is very easy, quick, and produces beautiful results. Scanning is very quick, with little warm-up time, and again gives very impressive results, even at the default of 300dpi.
The only drawback of this or any inkjet printer is the cost of the ink. It has 5 tanks ( three colour, one photo black and one text black) so should be more economical to run, plus there are many 3rd party suppliers of these inks for as little as 1.50 each, without the chip. You only need to take the chip out of the (supplied) original Canon ones and you're off, all be it without ink monitoring. Chipped inks can be found for 19 for a full set. You can even get large external tanks, so if you're prepared to chance 3rd party inks, this could be a much cheaper option than buying somethink like a Lexmark.
In all I've been very impressed with every aspect of this printer. Don't think you're saving money getting something a bit cheaper. This is a well built product that should last you many years, and with the performance and quality it's shown so far, you wouldn't want to change it either.
One of the best multi purpose machines July 13, 2008

I needed a printer to replace a Xerox Phaser 6110 Colour Laser printer and also a scanner to scan old photos. After much deliberation between this and the Kodak, I opted for this machine and I am glad I did.
The machine was well packed and all the information needed to get you started in all there. The ink comes in 5 different tanks (cyan, magenta, yellow, black and pigment black). This is very handy because if 1 colour goes, just replace that ink. An old HP machine (and the Kodak I was looking at) had a tri-colour cartridge, so if only 1 colour went, you had to replace all. This is a waste of money and bad for the environment.
I have a Mac, and this printer came with the software to operate all the components via Mac and Windows. Not many printers come with dedicated Mac software, so another plus point.
The printer has 2 paper input trayte, one underneath and one on top. I have put a wad of A4 paper in the bottom tray, and when printing envelopes or on glossy paper, I feed this in the top, so no need to keep taking out the paper in the bottom tray. When you print, if it is not already open, the bottom flaps down so that the printed paper comes out, very handy. Print quality is very good to amazing, depending upon the quality of the paper. Also, printing is fast. Even a high quality print on gloss paper comes out quickly and with little noise.
If printing text, you have an option to duplex print (print both sides of the paper). If printing out a booklet or lots of pages, it is a very handy feature not normally found on printers in this price range.
If you have printable CD/DVD's then place them in the tray and slide it in the printer, the software will allow you to position any text/pictures and when ready, will print directly on the discs with amazing results.
The scanner is very quick. My last scanner was 8 years ago, and this is a big improvement. A lot quieter and much quicker producing high resolution images that can be easily edited and saved. A feature also allows you to adjust via the scanner such as red eye removal, de-fade images etc. Once scanned in only seconds, you can easily edit them in other software such as iphoto, Photoshop etc.
Of course, for duplicating pictures (copying) then you can use the printer without a PC connected. The front top flap lifts up to reveal a colour screen where you can easily navigate to scan, copy, photo-reprint, CD label print etc, as well as print images directly from a memory card inserted in the card slots on the right. With photo-reprints, you can enlarge a 6x4 photo to a 10x 15 etc, or enlarge just a section and produce multiple copies or a single copy. You can even connect a digital camera directly to the printer so no need to remove the memory card, but have not tried this yet.
The only drawback is that it is not network ready, so cannot connect it to the router but instead have to use a USB lead in the computer. You can buy a bluetooth dongle and make it a bluetooth printer, but these are almost half as much again as the printer was to buy.
Overall, I am still only just beginning to use all the facilities this great printer has to offer, and can recommend it to any Windows or Mac user who is looking for a printer and scanner.
Canon MP610 - Brilliant! July 12, 2008

Mine arrived yesterday and was a doddle to set up. I installed it with no problems on my laptop with XP Pro - piece of cake. Photo prints are unbelievable. I printed a photo on 'standard' on ordinary supermarket cheapo paper and compared it with the same image printed a few days ago on quality paper set to 'best' print setting on my now redundant HP Photosmart 7450. NO COMPARISON!! Absolutely fantastic quality.

Canon Pixma MP610, Photo All-in-One (3-in-1) with colour TFT screen and Easy Scroll Wheel.
Have just received one of these printers and although I have not really tested it fully , I have one thing to say about photo printing superb ! I had a Lexmark before and when i printed pictures they were terrible washed out ect , But the canon vibrant good reproduction , so easy the software takes you through every step, borderless printing is a snip my first thought was worth every penny go and treat yourself and buy one
 Lovely bit of Kit July 2, 2008
mr medusa (London, UK)
Extremely pleased with this purchase. Although I haven't tried every feature yet - printing and copying give excellent results - with decent speed. I like the interface to the features and the facility to feed paper from either a cassette or the rear of machine.
As other reviewers have stated, it takes about 45mins to 1hr to set-up ready for use, but the instructions and software install are easy to follow.
My only gripe and the reason I didn't give 5 stars (would like to give 4 and a half, but that's not possible) is no USB cable is provided to connect to the PC ? Every printer I've ever had previously - provided all the necessary bits - so why can't Canon - especially as it's only a few pounds worth of kit.
That said I do believe this machine is the best in it's class and relatively cheap too, and I would have no hesitation in recommending it.
