Overall good printer. Super easy to set up, all computers In the house printing with the wireless functionality. Vary similar to the old pixma that lasted 10 years. The only thing I really dislike is the very loud noise it makes when is getting ready to print and turn off. The noise is not during the printing process, is just the set up. Previous pixma we had would do the same but the noise was barely noticeable. This one is so loud I can hear it from other rooms in the house. It gets very annoying.
I do like that the tray for printed work opens automatically if you forget to pull it out. The old one did not, so papers would en on the floor... Before powering off, it asks you to confirm if you want to close the tray and reminds you to remove your work. If you hit no, then it stays open so your work doesn’t get damaged. It weights a lot less and takes on a lot less space than the older pixma version we had. I was very happy about that. Printing quality is very good, just like the old one. Ink price is reasonable (other brands were ridiculously expensive).
Do note we use it for printing school work as needed and family pictures (we bought photo paper) because I love sending pics to family and friends that live in other countries. I don’t see this as a printer for high volume printing. It is great for what we need. But if you have a need for high volume output with long lasting ink (lower cost per page), then I would not recommend. If you needed for low volume good quality, the I would definitely recommend.
