Revainrating 3 out of 5

Some good, some not

I was unable to connect wirelessly to my Win10 desktop through Canon's online installation process (ij.start.canon). But after downloading the Canon PRINT Inkjet/SELPHY app to my iPhone, I was able to quickly install the printer. After it was discovered on my network, all of my portable devices as well as my Win10 desktop were able to find the printer. Some notes. Leaving the printer in the Auto Power state saves ink. Two-sided copying is not performed automatically; You must manually flip and reinsert the original. Duplex printing is automatic. The plastic document feeder feels weak. Photo quality is very good; Document printing is not as good as my old Canon IP3600. Wireless printing from any device is fast and hassle-free. The scanner features are fairly basic (compared to my Epson Perfection V600) but do the job. Having to leave the front door open seems like an odd design decision. All in all, this printer is perfect for me. UPDATE: I will still rate it 3 stars but may increase it to 3 1/2 depending on current usage. Once installed the printer is stable enough and despite my previous comment the text printing is better than my old IP3600. Although the open front panel looks odd, it is quite handy for accessing menus/settings. You can also find help in the nearly 600-page manual (no kidding).

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Security
