Nice Printer Though Fails Often
2 of 2 found this helpful Pro: Fast document and photo printing, large prints, tight DPI when needed, 5-color ink system, Feed Through Paper tray which reduces clogs for heavier weight photo paper, multiple methods of connectivity.
CONS: This is my fourth printer from the iX printer series. Everyone of them has failed during the warranty period. Canon immediately replaced them with an overnight shipment. Canon says they are made for durability for a marketing workload environment though, my experience, they have failed repeatedly within the warranty period though Canon has shipped overnight a refurbished model which then fails within 6 months after the warranty period expires. You can assume a 4-18 month life span for this printer. I continue to purchase because of the price point and I can get really great third party inks (longer warranty value) for considerably less than the OEM inks.
Reasons for failure have been linked to the feeding mechanism as well as to a break down in the electronics that allow the print head to function. No replacement print heads are available. I've taken the print head from the new printer and put into the old printer and the old printer still wont print which is how I know it is in the electronics. Putting the new print head back into the new printer then printing takes place.
It's a great product for a marketing department though it just doesn't live up to the durability claim which Canon makes - it definitely is not an industrial grade product. Not even for the small 1 person business environment as it won't last very long. Nevertheless, because of the price point and availability of less expensive superior ink price points, replacing them is far less expensive than any equivalent which the competition has to offer and really less expensive than the much much larger industrial grade products which Canon manufactures.
