"Like a disposable lighter...it works well for a while."
Pros: I love the ablility to scan whole trays of photos at the same time and have the software recognize and save each individually. Good, reasonably fast for the home text/casual graphics printing.
Cons: Short life-span; 18 months for mine. Expensive ink; to replace the BW and color ink was 86% of what I paid for the machine in the first place.
Summary: We were able to archive our entire collection of paper photos in four nights using the "full platen" scanning ability. Even if you have multiple photos at a time on the scanner, it identifies them and saves them individually. The copier worked beautifully every time we needed it. The machine does seem to need regular recalibrating however to keep it's alignment.
After not using the machine for a week, I tried to use it and got a 'U051' error: "The printer cannot recognize the following ink cartridges...". According to Canon, this can be repaired...for approximately twice what was paid for the machine.
I would not recommend this machine. Shop around, our landfills can't handle what Canon dishing out.
