## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I use any brand of inks for this or do I have to use the rip off Canon inks? Thanks**
A: It's a matter of opinion.   Personally,  I don't grudge the price of the ink in the bottles, and I believe the brand inks are a better quality and I am guessing because you are looking at that printer you are looking for good quality prints.  If not, I would go for a G2520, which I use for the farm records.  This printer is proving to be very cost effective,  the inks seem go on for ever!  Definitely,  the cheapest printer o run that I have had, the only draw back is the photo quality isn't good, hence why I have the 2 printers.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Would definitely buy again
*by S***J on 12 April 2025*

Excellent printer! Was choosing between this and an Epson EcoTank. Am very glad I went with the Canon.The quality and colour is good. It prints on 260 gsm photopaper easily. The tanks dropped a little when first filling the heads, but since the first print I've done multiple full page cards, and the levels don't look like they've changed one bit, whereas my previous cartridge printer would probably already be needing a refill already!Some review sites say it is a slow printer, but it doesn't feel slow at all, and is more than fast enough for the odd office printer job or run of postage labels.Two nitpicks are that the USB port faces out the back, so the printer can't sit flush against the wall (and its recessed too, so you can't just get an angled USB adapter). Additionally the LCD display is not backlit, so its hard to read if the printer is in shadow, such as on a shelf.My biggest highlight is borderless printing on full A4 - I didn't realise how much I'd appreicate this until I used it! Now I wouldn't consider a printer without it again.With so many printer companies nowadays engaging in dodgy rent-seeking behaviour, its really nice to see such as solid and efficient printer from Canon. It's well worth the cost and I'd for sure buy it again.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ How many pages?
*by M***T on 12 April 2024*

The only thing I use this printer for is photos. So let me say, after alot of printing, it's very good at photos. It is just a printer. No scanning function, I have a flatbed for that!When I looked at the page count expected for photos I thought 'how many pages?'After a running through the photo paper I bought (100 sheets each A4 and 10*15) I can believe it! Over two thirds of a tank left.Initial unpacking and setup was easy if time consuming. Loads of transit tape/packing to remove. Print heads to install. Ink to load from the colour keyed ink bottles. No danger of adding the wrong ink!Software to download and install. Network setup to complete and finally ready to print.Canon provide simple Linux software support, a much more advanced Windows software package and an app for your phone. They all work well.What's it like as a printer? Easy to use. Lots of paper options for most scenarios. Print speed isn't the fastest but it's not bad given the quality produced.Stuff I miss, second paper tray and wired network. But for the price, can't complain.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ So far ~ so good
*by S***E on 2 April 2025*

So far, so good (but early days yet!). Set-up was simple enough and filling ink reservoirs from the supplied bottles was easy without spillage. Drivers installed OK - although none supplied (d/l from site).First prints have been beyond criticism; colour density and tones look very good (on basic, "photo-quality" plain white paper only yet).I was NOT going to buy a Canon again as my Pixma gave up with fatal error message FAR TOO SOON as was a write-off. But reviews led me to buy this and - to repeat - SO FAR, all's well.
