"Not good at all printing"
Pros: Quick, quiet, good print on standard/business paper
Cons: Not good for greeting cards, nonstandard envelopes. Black ink at edges of nonstandard paper.
Summary: The fax and copy functions work well. Haven't scanned yet. The print is uneven. It works well for normal business type applications. It does not work well for greeting cards, half-fold envelopes, nonstandard size papers. I wish I knew about this before I bought this highly rated product. I have had similar trouble in the past with another Canon printer. It often leaves streaks of black ink along edges of envelopes or greeting cards. It's as if the ink has pooled and overflowed. Since I print lots of greeting cards, this is very annoying--I picked this model for it's two sided printing. I don't remember seeing anything in reading reviews that talked about its severe limitations on paper sizes and weights. An email to Canon support gave me instructions for maintaining the printer, but seemed to indicate that I would still have problems using any paper they consider nonstandard. I have used the greeting card stock in HP printers with no problem.
