Best Home Printer For Cardstock (2024 Update)

Yes, it is trickier than most printers to set up. You start using the provided CD-ROM and just follow instructions as provided on the quick start guide. But you will not be able to complete the install. Another reviewer mentioned that you had use two drivers. So, I downloaded newest driver from the Canon web site (always a good ideat) but the problem was not fixed, even though I got a cheerful message that the driver install was successful. The trick turned out to be: after downloading and installing newest driver, go back to the CD-Rom and proceed. Ignore the message that you still need a different driver. Just click continue. Rest was easy. All in all, it took me a few hours to figure everything out and assemble the printer. I have installed many printers in my time. The printing quality is great. I'm no expert but I closely eyeball the prints and they seem flawless. I have only printed several photos, but it seems the less fiddling you do with adjusting the colors in Photoshop, the better. I have only printed with Photoshop CC and have yet to get 13×19 *borderless* prints, (there is a .25" white space all the way around) but I am sure I can solve that eventually, perhaps by printing with InDesign. Anyway, if you want some extra-nice photos from home, this is worth the hassle of setting up.Robert

I have had this printer for about a year now. I am a wildlife photographer and thought when I started that it would be great to be able to produce large prints at home. I quickly found out that there is a whole lot more to home printing with a large format printer than meets the eye. The printer itself has been great as regards clarity of output. I use only Canon ink replacement and do not fool around with third party stuff or messy refills. I also use the expensive Canon Pro Luster paper for my prints. The main problem that I have is that all my prints come out with a green cast to them. I use the included Canon software and recommended paper profiles. I have tried everything from buying expensive calibration devices (spyder elite+) for monitor adjustment to doing a lot of proof photos with different custom settings to solve my problem but nothing seems to work. Sometimes I can get a color rendition that is acceptable but it is totally dependant on the image itself and is not consistent. I would advise people who are thinking of going into large format printing to make sure you have as much knowledge as possible about color matching, profiles, paper types, calibration and different makes of large format printers before proceeding. You also need to use this printer on a regular basis. I always make sure that I run at least one 4 X 6 print through it once a month to make sure the head does not clog. Conclusion: A person should make sure that they are buying this printer for the right reason and not just as a novelty item that is used on the odd occasion. Needless to say, I am a bit disillusioned and my Pro-100 is gathering a bit of dust right now.Steve

Unlike most users, I am not a photographer, I'm a wedding stationery designer. And this is my first LEGIT printer. I've owned standard printers in the past for basic home use, etc. I use my Canon Pixma Pro-100 for printing small batches and samples of wedding stationery/invitations for my business. This printer handles thick cover-weight paper and even handmade deckle edge cover-weight paper easily. To compare the quality, I ordered some of my stationery from a print shop that owns an HP Indigo (a top-of-the-line commercial printer), and my prints look almost exactly like theirs! WIN! However, I had a few issues with it initially because I had a hard time figuring out why my colors came out really dull compared to the computer screen. I tried playing with the different paper choices they have, but still everything came out dull on my cotton paper. I mainly used either the fine art, or matte photo paper. In search of the solution I scoured the internet, and began to regret buying it. Here's a highlight of what I learned: 1. Initially, I learned about ICC profiles, and that it's really good to know that info so you can tell your printer. But I couldn't find a profile for my paper—Savoy cotton 118# cover. 2. Then I found out about a Canon software that directly links to Photoshop, but since I use InDesign for my wedding stationery, I can't use it. 3. Then I found out that after exporting my designs to a PDF, I can print from there and control a lot more. If you click the properties button at the top of the print dialog box, there you'll see all the options. I played around in the color management checkbox until I got my prints to match. 4. FINALLY I figured out the best way to get my colors vibrant without having to do all the test prints via the minor, manual color adjustments. Since none of the other paper choices worked for me to give me vibrant colors, I select envelope, and put in the size I'm working on (usually 8.5×11 or whatever size my pre-cut stationery is). Then I print! That's it!! My colors are now more true to screen! And I don't have to waste time in the print dialog box. Since I really don't have a lot of knowledge on printing, there may even be a simpler way than that, but I haven't explored all that this printer can do. I still plan on outsourcing my printing most of the time (less hassle, only slightly more expensive per page, less time), but I'm really happy that I bought this so I can print last minute, "I need two more invitations" bride emergencies, or printing out designs I'm working on (sometimes it's nice to see it in person), or to print small batches of stationery (like if I'm participating in a styled shoot), etc. If you're feeling discouraged with this printer like I was, please try out these tips! Good luck!Katherine

I purchased this printer to replace another Canon printer I had for several years that served me well. One major feature I required was the ability to print on CD/DVDs. The old printer did that and had an 8×11" cassette and a photo cassette. This printer cost twice what the old printer cost but not only has the 8×11" cassette but feeds other sizes from the back. I now have the ability to still print photos but also legal size as well as tabloid size(11×17"). My wife does a little crafting and it also prints 12×12" size papers. I have read some reviews where people have stated they wish they did not have to raise the panel to print. You have to raise it to get to the slot to print on DVDs so that wasn't an issue for me. This printer also connects to wifi a lot quicker than the old. Overall, I am quite satisfied with this printer.JohnP

I have worked in the IT industry for over 17 years (and even longer as the "family computer guy") and have come across a multitude of printers: Canon, Lexmark, Epson, Brother, Konica, HP, Ricoh, and all have their Pros and Cons. As a former, professional photographer, I also trusted Canon and Epson for accurate photo reproduction. Canon announced 4 new PIXMA printers in the summer of 2019, including the PIXMA TS6320, just in time for the back-to-school season. So, how does the TS6320 photo printer, which is geared towards students, fare? Pretty well! PROS – Update to its TS6220 predecessor with an easier setup process and updated user interface – 5 individual ink cartridges (Magenta, Black BK, Yellow, Black Pigment PGBK, Cyan), making more efficient use of colors, saving ink cost, and better output – Exceptional print quality, especially photos due to its 5-ink cartridge system – Text output is very sharp to about 6 pt font size – Can Print, Copy, and Scan (All-in-One) – Easy configuration – Fairly compact size at 14.9" x 14.2" x 5.6" – Print tray automatically opens and closes when printer is powered on/off, further keeping the footprint small – Auto paper width detection – Excellent, mobile device support, allowing you to print directly from your Apple iOS or Android phone/tablet – Push the QR code button on the printer, and it will link you directly to the mobile app for download – Multiple ways to print: Wi-Fi (including AirPrint, Google Cloud Print), Bluetooth, Ethernet wired network, and/or wired USB (cable not included) – Apple: Mac OS compatible – Sharp, easy to read 1.44" OLED display that provides printer and print job status – Auto Duplexing so you can print on BOTH sides, saving on paper and storage space – Dual paper feed trays so regular and photo papers can be loaded and ready at the same time – Very cool, LED status bar at the front to visually show a print job is actively being processed – Sample photo paper included – Sample ink cartridges are included, which is industry practice. Keep in mind that they will run out sooner than normal CONS – Built for quality, not for print volume – Although photo print quality is excellent, clipart graphics have barely-noticeable banding in dark areas – No automatic document feeder, making the printer more suitable for low-volume print and copy use – No support for USB thumbdrives or SD cards – High print cost – As with most printers, the cost of ink is high (about $65 for the complete set at the time of this writing) – Small-capacity paper tray that holds about 30 pages TIPS – The "Canon PRINT for Inkjet/SELPHY" mobile app can be downloaded from the Apple App Store and Google Play. The media leaflet and QR code on the ink cartridge also take you directly there – If an app on your phone or tablet supports it, you can select the Canon printer to print directly to – If you do not print for a while, your ink nozzle may dry up a bit. Once in a while, you may have to run a self-cleaning cycle to keep the ink flowing optimally Overall, like many inexpensive, family-oriented, consumer printers, the high cost of the ink cartridges makes the per-page print cost high. However, the PIXMA TS series is known for its excellent photo reproduction where images and colors pop. This printer produces great output for low-volume homes and small offices, and is quite suitable for students needing to print reports and presentations.TechProAndPhotographer

Bought this to replace a 2 year old Pixma which was having issues with my network? Apart from the many improvements to this model, the first thing to notice is the sheer style o the unit. Very modern indeed with a flat lid and a real squared off look. I had real problems setting it up however, and after contacting JL Tech. Support was referred to Canon who resolved my problem instantly! The main reason I purchased this new machine was because it was Apple Print configured. However, I tried to set it up via the manual and on Page 5 it states that ALL INDIVIDUAL additional Smartphones must be installed separately. However, 5 minutes with a very helpful lady at Canon Support resolved the problem by simply setting up for all my many Apple items, via the WPS button on my router. Great support. Finally, however do Canon make a printer of this quality for the money? Very simple the high cost of replacement cartridges. Well you cannot win them all! I highly recommend this printer, and great value from JL online>Clifford

The Pixma TS64210a is a decent budget option for those looking for a multifunction printer that can operate as a jack of all trades. However, the ongoing operating costs make it potentially less appealing than other options at the price point. Setup was simple as expected. Hooking it to my wifi network was simple and the printer was immediately recognized by the Canon app. I had this installed from a previous Canon printer which recently stopped working. In addition to setup being easy, functionality is quite good with this Pixma. There's a small, somewhat useful screen that enables you to view the various menus and options available to you. It's frankly sufficient; while other models may tend toward larger, touchscreen based interfaces, they've kept it simple here and likely kept the cost down. Print quality was reasonably good across various types of printing for me. Document printing will be as good as expected, but normal color printing (non-photo based) was just OK. Compared to my previous Pixma (the MX922), this felt like a slight step backwards in this regard; color reproduction wasn't quite as accurate and appeared ever so slightly more washed out. It's not terrible, but it's not the best you can get. I'm not sure if this is down to Canon's decision to reduce the total ink cartridges down to two, one for black and one for color, but thus far, I'm not a fan of this decision (which I'll discuss more in a bit). Photo printing is adequate for this range of printer; again, not stellar but it does reasonably well and with a higher quality print setting and better paper, I found that it performed more to expectations compared to standard color printing. About the ink cartridges… Again, I'm finding to be not a fan of this setup. My previous Pixma had numerous inks, including two different black cartridges and something like 5 color cartridges. To some, this seems like a worse setup based on pricing alone. However, in my experience, that worked VERY well, as it allowed you to only replace what you used. In this case, if I use a lot of blue in my prints, for instance, I'll eventually need to replace the entire color cartridge. Pricing is at least somewhat reasonable, but to me, this is going to cost more in the long run and might have the potential side effect of worse color reproduction on prints (though this is wholly speculation on my part). The rest of the features here work as expected. The scanner is nice to have, and while there's no document feeder, the trade off is that you get a much sleeker and slimline printer, which at least in my case, is more "wife-approved" in design. The scanner works as expected, as does the copy function. In general, there's no extra fluff here; no "fax" feature (which I've personally never used) for instance, which did nothing but add extra components and space to my previous printer. Overall, I'm happy enough with this printer. It performs a wide number of functions decently well, but doesn't exactly excel at any. But given the price range, it's not really expected to. If you're in the market for a compact printer that can do it all, this is one to consider.Jturn

The Canon PIXMA TS6420a All in One is a good, basic, easy to use home printer. With it you can print, copy & scan documents. It is compact so it has a small footprint on your desk. This model doesn't include an automatic document feeder, so that adds to the sleek look. However, it DOES have auto-duplex so you are able to print on both the front & the back. Also small is the paper tray – it is quite small holding approximately 100 sheets of paper. The tray sticks out about 2" from the printer. You can push it further in, but then you can't print from it. On the plus side, in addition to the front tray, you can feed various sizes/types of paper from the back – such as your photo paper.I find the printer to be solid, but I find the parts to be somewhat flimsy. The paper tray, paper exit tray and rear paper feeder all feel as though I might not want my 12 year old to handle them. They seem like they might easily break – but so far, so good! Setting up the printer was very easy – I used the suggested website and the set-up was a breeze. My network easily found the printer and WiFi connected on my one and only try. That is a nice change from some other recent electronic devices that needed multiple attempts. The set-up process forces you to look at the VERY small 1.44" OLED display, which at that size, is not a touch screen. Personally, I needed to be right up on it to see what it was telling me. Once I got through the ink installation which was easy & intuitive, the printer needed to do its alignment. Using 2 sheets of paper, it was a slow process, but everything came out great. Once all of that was done, I was easily able to print from my PC and my iPhone. That made me happy! Copying was easy as well. Unfortunately, I have not had the occasion to scan as yet. This printer is definitely on the slow side, however after printing/copying a variety of documents and photos, I find the print quality of the Canon TS6420a to be surprisingly good! After printing stops, I do find that there are a lot of sounds coming from under the cover – on its own. I don't know what is moving around in there, but it stops after a bit. Somehow I equate slow with less than, and this printer isn't that. It is making a great little home/office printer for us. We don't need super fast, we need quality. In that area, this Canon printer doesn't disappoint.BBReviewer

I've used a ton of printers over the past few years, both in my job and personal life. My wife is a teacher, so inkjet printers tend to get worn out quickly in our house and it seems like there is always something new on our shelf. When I received the Canon PIXMA TS6420a for review, I was hoping it would compare favorably with similarly priced printers I've used in the past. What I found was a bit of a mixed bag. First, the good: after a pretty ordinary out of the box experience, I was impressed to see Canon includes a sample pack of their high quality glossy photo paper (4×6 size) and also that the quick start guide is really just a QR code for you to scan with your phone. This isn't new, of course – what was new is that the QR code took me directly to a page with a link to the Android app which made setting up and using the printer SUPER easy. Huge kudos to Canon for that. I was also extremely impressed with the quality of the photos I got with the included glossy paper. Regular color prints for a presentation and office document were just 'good' – not mindblowing but good enough that I'd be fine printing something to hand out at the office. Also, the manual feed slot that flips up from the back of the printer is a pretty good design and makes it really easy to print envelopes or photos without opening the main tray. There really isn't anything "bad" about the TS6420a, but there's just too much compromise for me. The color ink is a single CMY cartridge for all 3 colors, which means you're going to waste a lot of ink unless you always print the same amount of each color somehow. When Red runs out, it doesn't matter if you have yellow and blue left – too bad. For me the real dealbreaker is the size of the paper tray, though. The main tray only holds about 100 sheets and it just feels super tiny. Yes, the rear flip up tray can hold plain paper, taking you to 200 sheets, but it's all just too small. If you're looking for a printer primarily for photos that does a few other things, the TS6420a does reasonably good quality photos for a reasonably low asking price. I think the costs of buying the tri-color ink will add up over time, and the low paper capacity makes this frustrating to use for home office tasks.Abhaxus

I had the printer before, and I have lots of toner. I like the photo prints especially on photo paper very crisp. That's why I was looking for this exact printer. Unfortunately when I received the printer it was damaged. I don't know if USPS damaged it I emailed the insurance company twice to make a claim. I haven't heard back from them.davidv7408

I purchased this printer as a back up! This printer will function on Windows 10 and once the USB cable is connected Windows 10 does the rest. That is the easy part of set up! If you want the wireless feature to work, it is my hope you have a router with the WPS button as attempting to punch in the router password is frustrating. Cannon has apps that allow printing from Ipads and phones too! If you buy one of these, get the pdf file manual from Cannon on line. Print quality if fine, the scanner works fine and this old printer does two sided printing, but is bit SLOOOOOOOW to more up to date printers!super34city

Outstanding printer! You can do most home projects with ease. Photos are spectacular. Durable*. Will last for years. Easy to setup with WIFI install program makes connections very easy. I donot think I will ever own another type of printer. As long as I can find one. Navigation could be a little more intuitive. The Menu and Screen are easy to read. * DO NOT USE CHEAP INKS. It will ruin the print head. We used the cheaper inks for 1 year before we started having problems. Replaced Ink Head. Our printer is 6 years old. No issues until I started using the cheaper inks. Use Canon Ink cartridges or Office Depot knockoff Cartridges. If the ink cartridge lock tab does not light up run at your own risk.sirquietus

We bought two of these Epson 2803 printers. We've had several problems, chronically. 1. We cannot get each printer to reliably print from the proper computer, mine or my wife's. We've called Epson repeatedly without solution. 2. The color is bad, not good for photos. 3. Mid-print, the printer will stop and fail, especially on jobs over 20 pages. 4. The on-line fix tool is worthless, in fact each time the fix tool gets stuck in a useless loop. It is not an operator problem. 4. The Wifi connection will fail mid-print, even though the Wifi is not having a problem. The one upside of this printer is that the ink does last much longer, But the technology of the machine itself is in infant stages.EN

Struggled for years with cartridges that clogged or would cause printer to not work. Sure hope this ET 2803 continues to work as well as it is now. Only had it a few days but like it so far. Setting up was not too bad, but I did not do the wireless connection. I used a USB/printer cord. It was difficult to see the postage-stamp size LCD screen and following instructions was harder than it should have been as a result. Thus the 4 star rating. Plus, the top seems flimsy compared to my old printer. I used the CD to load the Epson drivers and utilities and that went well. It updated all the utilities and the software/firmware without a hitch. It prints well, and goes plenty fast. It runs fairly quiet, even in the regular (not quiet) mode. I would not call the colors vibrant, but they certainly are acceptable. Filling the tanks was easy, they are idiot-proof since each color bottle fits only that tank. No mess-no fuss. The 65ML bottles fill the ink tanks just about to the top. I should get a year or more out of the black and maybe longer out of the colors. Thanks to Epson and Target for a good printer at a fair price.MikeyDog

When I received the Epson Ecotank ET-2803 wireless all-in-one cartridge free super tank printer with scan and copy, I thought it was going to be one of those printers with a hard to follow setup and use but I have to say once I got started I was shocked at just how easy it was. The setup gives you clear written step by step instructions that include pictures and detail diagrams. The entire setup process took me approximately 10 minutes including filling the ink compartment. The ink was my main concern as never had a printer this type. It actually was super simple to fill. The bottles fit perfectly into each of their tanks so there's absolutely no mess. It also stops as soon as the tanks reach their full capacity. So no worries about the ink overflowing. The print quality is amazing and the colors are come out vibrant and beautiful. It was a little confusing at first trying to figure out the settings to print but once I did I was able to print several pages very quickly without any issues The printer itself is very lightweight and compact which makes it easy to put it just about anywhere. So far everything has exceeded my expectations and I would definitely recommend this to anyone.

Full specifications from manufacturer site: https://www.usa.canon.com/internet/portal/us/home/support/details/printers/inkjet-multifunction/tr-series-inkjet/pixma-tr8620a?tab=technicalspecifications From all the specifications, as little remark I wish it has is USB port as it comes with port for SD and miniSD.. With that, at glance the printer is a practical to use from setting up to printing via wifi, and control via mobile phone that deliver a printing and scanning quality more than needed for office work. Setting it up and connecting to the wifi are not much different to different Canon models. Jumping directly to the printing quality, which print up to 4800 x 1200 dpi, in the actual print it is quite clean and neat definition on the printed paper. For instance, printed on sticker printing sheet multiple images in color. Its print can notice the level of definition as clear per respective colors, and the edge lines well defined on the final image. However the total black image can notice some lines across which seen in different type of printing and printers. Similarly, the Scanner has support of Auto Document Feeder (ADF), with optical resolution u1200 x 2400 dpi, are handy specification that works well. Scanned a image that had quite invisible to the eye a smudge at the border line of the image, the scanned and printed includes such detail. From usage perspective, the 4.3 LCD Touchscreen is big plus as it ease the process of selection of options from the printer itself. However, it need have lifted the operation panel (the part that contain the LCD) otherwise it wouldn’t print. This is bit odd for those need to have the printer located high level of furniture and sort of best use by placing at desk level. Having used for variety of printing from document to images and stickers for kids, and sending/receiving some fax, Pixma TR8620a does help to complete the task for the office or small home and family projects without the need of a printer with higher resolution and complexity.MigDigital

Simple and compact multifunction powerful color inkjet printer that is great for printing photos, documents, labels, envelopes, etc. and to photocopy or scan documents for work or home use. It took me less than 5 mins to set it up and start printing from my PC and phone. It came with five color ink cartridges that should be good enough for a few months of regular printing (I print 40/50 pages a week). I recommend getting high-capacity ink cartridges when replenishing the stock ones. Functions: • It supports duplex printing, fax, photo printing, scan documents and photocopy documents. • I can print documents over networked ethernet, Wi-Fi, Airprint, Android, or Wi-Fi Direct (good if I don't want to use my wireless router or internet connection at home). It also supports USB printing to directly print when connected to USB port on a PC. • It has a color LED touch display screen to access menus and to configure the device. • It has a memory card reader port to print pictures directly from the memory card. • Paper can be fed via the front paper tray (20-page capacity) or the rare paper tray (also for photos or envelopes). • Printing speeds of ten pages per minute for color printing and about fifteen pages per minute for black and white printing. • I downloaded their printer app to configure the device and I set-up auto order for ink cartridges to be delivered to my doorsteps. I like this feature as I don’t have to worry about driving to the office supplies store every time I am out of ink. I suggest getting high-capacity ink cartridges that last longer than the stock ones. It’s a little expensive but the print quality is great, especially for printing pictures – amazing quality that can be compared to print quality you get from store printers. The only complaint is that it doesn't print if the display is docked, it must be in the raised position with the paper tray out. Also, I didn't notice any sleep function on it, but I did set it up to turn off after a few hours of being inactive. Overall, a great printer in terms of the quality and the speed at which it prints, small enough to take it with me if I need a printer on the go!TechGeek

Summary: A great all around office printer. There are a few quirks but overall it works well and produces great printouts.I am very happy with this printer overall. Pros: -Good looking printer -Multiple inks for a wide combination of color -Lots of connectivity options -Amazing quality prints Cons: -Small ink cartridges -Small paper tray -Screen has to be completely flipped open to print -Small “tray arm” for printed papers to rest on Unboxing: THere is not much to be found in the box other than the printer, some “starter” ink cartridges (limited amount of ink inside), documentation and cables. Setup: Setup is similar to any other printer in that you have to remove lots of plastic, install ink cartridges, setup the printer for your network via USB, ethernet or wifi and you are gtg. It was instantly detected on my Mac Mini and my Windows 11 laptop with no issues. You can also install a canon app to allow printing and scanning services to be better integrated with your phone or tablet. Use: Photos look great when printed. The PPM is rather low but the quality of prints is high as a result. You are able to feed paper via the tray (rather limited capacity), and a rear feeder. There is also an ADF on the top for scanning, fax and copying. If printed at the highest quality, photos look almost pro quality and I did not see any noticeable dithering unless I looked very closely. When printing I got a few errors, initially saying to open the front panel to print. I lifted it but it continued to give the error. Come to find out, it has to be fully 90 degrees open to operate. I found this kind of weird since it means the screen is 90 degrees and might change how you handle the interface. A little motor would have been nice to open and close the panel so you don't have to do this manually each time. The paper collection tray arm is very dinky as well and papers might slip off after printing if you have a large stack.psyclopps

DONT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I DID!!! CHECK THE SPECS, FEATURES, AND WHATS INCLUDED, BEFORE BUYING!!! Iam guving one star because there is only one spot where it says a usb cable is needed and it should be in the product description but its not so i didnt see that i was going to need it. The printer must be connected with a usb cable in order for it to work and you cannot even set it up unless you have it. So i cannot set it up until i go buy a usb cable for it. That is the one piece of equipment that is needed in order for it to work so why would you not include a cable? even when you go to check out it never did the essential add on pop up with a usb option so i still didnt think i was going to need additional items That didnt happen when i added the printer to the cart but even if it did i probably would not have gotten one. Since i didnt see that it was needed.Nothappywithcustomerservi

Just delivered, a bit of trepidation about 'installing' as previously had an ITDepartment for this. Fairly intuitive, though not sure what to do with the CD disk~~ (Never required installation . . . ??) Located the ink cartridge install sites, plugged the cord in, turned on the printer & MacBook Pro computer, and jacked in the DSL connection. Installed paper, located test page to print ~~ Tapped 'Print' and up came the selection tab. All this without benefit of an instruction book; amazingly simple! Since the sales info indicated lack of compatibility with any OS X systems beyond 10.2 Sierra, I printed from my Mac with that system first. HOWEVER, curious to find out whether it might also handle 10.15 Catalina, I jacked it into my newer Mac. Printed equally as well from both Systems . . . Sierra & Catalina! If you are not 'techy', I fully recommend this printer, with the caveat that is doesn't appear to have font size adjustment? Apologies if it does . . . brand new to me today, and simply quite thrilled that any printer can be this intuitive and easy to connect~~!!BelleWA

Must be made by the contractor that makes the lowest-end HP printers. Same form factor and 2 print-head integrated cartridges- pigment black and dye C-M-Y. Biggest drawback USB only. There is something to be said for a small, light weight printer one take along when traveling or up at the cottage. But I would skip this one and get the TS302 with wireless and for another $15 ($69) it can do a LOT more. Would be even better if these printers had a battery pack. When I got mine, Canon was selling these for about $25. There are ways to refill these HP-type cartridges, which I plan on doing in the future.David

I am no artist. Just wanted a photo printer to print family photos and random photos found on the web. This printer by far satisfies those needs. It was a bit of a challenge to set up because the wireless option did not work. I have printed multiple 13×19, 5×7, 4×6 and 8.5×11 and still have yet to run out of the ink that came with the printer. Already purchased replacement ink from a generic vendor on Amazon for $25. This is well worth the investment. The Canon phone app is very simple to use. I have printed all my photos from the phone app. I am usually a harsh critic but I have no complaints here.AndreB

Love this printer – only issues I had so far was setting up the printer with my network. Easiest solution was to just get a printer cable to do the setup/driver installation, the wireless worked fine after that. Note – most computers don't have CD drives anymore so cable setup is best option. But if you do have a CD drive on your desktop or laptop then it should be fine with setup that way. I love that this printer supports various paper sizes and thickness including 11×17 which I use to print out plans. I've tried printing photos on this as well and it's amazing colors are spot on. The starter cartridge that comes with this lasts quite a bit and I love that you can buy the individual colors rather than the color cartridges like HP has for a crazy price. The down side to this is that there is no scan or copy function on this. I basically ended up purchasing this model because I do a lot of craft printing and this fit all my qualifications (multi paper size (large prints) / thickness / color quality). And this only comes in a top load – great for crafters as this doesn't bend / curl the paper as it feeds thru unlike bottom load printers. Giving the ease of use a 4 star only due to the setup being a bit difficult if you're trying to set up wirelessly – best to get a printer cable.Char

While doing a ton of research I settled on this printer to provide me with proofs of work I had planned to send for prints as many times it is very difficult to gauge what we see on the screen with what is received from a printer. After printing a couple images I was so blown away by the quality, on professional papers, that I am reconsidering sending away for prints. The cold and blending on this printer is excellent. The B&W could be better but then I did not buy it for that purpose. Dye inks won't compare to pigment on the B&W spectrum. I really considered going with the P200 as it would be the best dye based printer out there, I simply don't print enough to get the benefit from Pigment printers. After having used this printer though I am not as motivated to upgrade to the P200, this is a more than capable quality photo printer. I doubt anything but a side by side comparison would convince me otherwise but them for proof's, this is perfection. The P200 is still new, double the price and double the cost on inks, if you can find any. I have no regrets with purchasing the 8720. PS: I did not experience any banding as was reported by another. That is the only thing that made me hesitate on this purchase. The quality is so good I am tempted to compare vs. ordered professional prints and update with the results.Jack

This does print easily from my phone and laptop HOWEVER for being such a basic printer it's expensive. Like no scanning, no copying. You also have to use canon ink, whereas my old canon I could use a wonderful "store brand".TechMom

I miss not having a simple language manual Describing the function of the printer.I am not totally computer literate so solving problems with the printer. It is still not fully functional for me. The screen in the front is too small.Barb

I had to replace my Epson AIO EcoTank printer that I got about 2 years ago and I went to my local Staples and decided to go back to the HP AIO inkjet printers that I had such good luck with. I only left the HP printer family because I liked the idea of the ecotank for the ink and truthfully, it's a great printer with regard to that but I constantly had difficulty connecting to my home wi-fi network and staying connected with regards to the scanning function. I could print wirelessly but not scan to my computer, even after making sure I was up to date with any updates and installing drivers for that function from the Epson website. I chose this HP Office Jet Pro 8035e AIO printer and it was super easy to connect all my devices to it and I was up and printing as well as scanning documents in a matter of 2 or 3 minutes. It is quiet, much quieter than my Epson, and it's fast. It's too early for me to honestly evaluate the amount of ink used but I got the insta ink program for free for 6 months so we'll see but I anticipate it'll be fine. The bonus was my local staff at Staples was helpful.DAN

When I saw the sender, I was hoping it was a response to my inquiry. But NO! You want my review! Fuggitaboutdit After my tech guy tried to install the defective printer, he documented his findings \ this way: I followed the setup instructions carefully and got to the step where the printer is supposed to print it a calibration page. Instead of printing, it reported a paper jam. I have several times examined all the paper jam possibilities with no sign of paper anywhere. From an HP troubleshooting page, I found an instruction to open the printer, and then unplug it, and move the print head carriage across to look for more jam possibilities, but the print head is stuck fast. It will only move about 1cm or less. I am not familiar with this model, but from the HP doc it seems like this is clearly a problem. Bottom line: the print head won't move and then machine reports a paper jam when there is no paper anywhere in it. I think it's defective. I need to return it. Since it was back-ordered and shipped from I-don't-know-where, I'd like to know whether I can return it to a nearby store or whether I can get a return label and send it by UPS or USPS. What's your preference??Jane

This HP printer is a great solution for a household that has phones, Chromebooks, laptops, iPads, and desktops all going at one time or another. Every one of these devices can connect wirelessly for printing anything and everything! There is also the USB printing if you just have some printing from a computer that isn’t on the system but don’t want to go through making a connection… just copy the files to a USB stick and plug it in to do your print jobs. HP has really worked on their printer setup, and getting everything connected and working has become very simple using the HP software and apps. Of course now that everyone can print everything whenever they want, the ink consumption has increased. Fortunately the ink cartridges are pretty much goof-proof, and there is the HP+ ink replacement system that I really suggest you try out. The HP+ automatic ink replacement had me wondering if it was going to be a good deal or not, but HP lets you try it out without charge for the first few months so you can get a feel for how many pages will be printed, and you can easily adjust your monthly plan to match the total household pages that get printed. I kind of don’t like to get too many “automatic billing” subscriptions going, but looking at ink cartridge replacement cost, and the usual situation where I need to print pages (especially in color) and find that I’m running low on ink, then have to go out and get some ink cartidges all of a sudden, and then the cost of the cartridges…. Well for me it is much simpler and really not as costly to do the monthly rate with HP+ and not have to remember to “check the ink” when I need to print something important. I really do recommend that you go ahead and use the subscription service when you set up the printer. It doesn’t cost anything for the first few months and you can check your printer use to see if you want to continue with the subscription, adjust your usage plan, or just go back to buying your own cartridges as needed. I expect you will find the monthly subscription as convenient as I have. For everything that this printer does and considering the pretty large paper tray, the footprint of the printer is small enough to easily fit on a desktop or side table. A lot of other “home business” printers with the same features look a lot larger. I haven’t tried printing photos on photo paper yet, but the color on regular copy paper is good and it’s nice to be able to print color copies without having to worry about using up the ink. A little touch of color on an otherwise black and white page really does make things look better. My wife is especially happy because she can print out cupons, recipes, flyers, etc. and have them in color – they just look nicer and no worries about using up the ink! Overall, this is a good unit that does pretty much everything and can be used to print something even if you are out and about. Your print job will be waiting on you when you get home!

I purchased this printer to replace another Canon printer I had for several years that served me well. One major feature I required was the ability to print on CD/DVDs. The old printer did that and had an 8×11" cassette and a photo cassette. This printer cost twice what the old printer cost but not only has the 8×11" cassette but feeds other sizes from the back. I now have the ability to still print photos but also legal size as well as tabloid size(11×17"). My wife does a little crafting and it also prints 12×12" size papers. I have read some reviews where people have stated they wish they did not have to raise the panel to print. You have to raise it to get to the slot to print on DVDs so that wasn't an issue for me. This printer also connects to wifi a lot quicker than the old. Overall, I am quite satisfied with this printer.JohnP

I have worked in the IT industry for over 17 years (and even longer as the "family computer guy") and have come across a multitude of printers: Canon, Lexmark, Epson, Brother, Konica, HP, Ricoh, and all have their Pros and Cons. As a former, professional photographer, I also trusted Canon and Epson for accurate photo reproduction. Canon announced 4 new PIXMA printers in the summer of 2019, including the PIXMA TS6320, just in time for the back-to-school season. So, how does the TS6320 photo printer, which is geared towards students, fare? Pretty well! PROS – Update to its TS6220 predecessor with an easier setup process and updated user interface – 5 individual ink cartridges (Magenta, Black BK, Yellow, Black Pigment PGBK, Cyan), making more efficient use of colors, saving ink cost, and better output – Exceptional print quality, especially photos due to its 5-ink cartridge system – Text output is very sharp to about 6 pt font size – Can Print, Copy, and Scan (All-in-One) – Easy configuration – Fairly compact size at 14.9" x 14.2" x 5.6" – Print tray automatically opens and closes when printer is powered on/off, further keeping the footprint small – Auto paper width detection – Excellent, mobile device support, allowing you to print directly from your Apple iOS or Android phone/tablet – Push the QR code button on the printer, and it will link you directly to the mobile app for download – Multiple ways to print: Wi-Fi (including AirPrint, Google Cloud Print), Bluetooth, Ethernet wired network, and/or wired USB (cable not included) – Apple: Mac OS compatible – Sharp, easy to read 1.44" OLED display that provides printer and print job status – Auto Duplexing so you can print on BOTH sides, saving on paper and storage space – Dual paper feed trays so regular and photo papers can be loaded and ready at the same time – Very cool, LED status bar at the front to visually show a print job is actively being processed – Sample photo paper included – Sample ink cartridges are included, which is industry practice. Keep in mind that they will run out sooner than normal CONS – Built for quality, not for print volume – Although photo print quality is excellent, clipart graphics have barely-noticeable banding in dark areas – No automatic document feeder, making the printer more suitable for low-volume print and copy use – No support for USB thumbdrives or SD cards – High print cost – As with most printers, the cost of ink is high (about $65 for the complete set at the time of this writing) – Small-capacity paper tray that holds about 30 pages TIPS – The "Canon PRINT for Inkjet/SELPHY" mobile app can be downloaded from the Apple App Store and Google Play. The media leaflet and QR code on the ink cartridge also take you directly there – If an app on your phone or tablet supports it, you can select the Canon printer to print directly to – If you do not print for a while, your ink nozzle may dry up a bit. Once in a while, you may have to run a self-cleaning cycle to keep the ink flowing optimally Overall, like many inexpensive, family-oriented, consumer printers, the high cost of the ink cartridges makes the per-page print cost high. However, the PIXMA TS series is known for its excellent photo reproduction where images and colors pop. This printer produces great output for low-volume homes and small offices, and is quite suitable for students needing to print reports and presentations.TechProAndPhotographer

Bought this to replace a 2 year old Pixma which was having issues with my network? Apart from the many improvements to this model, the first thing to notice is the sheer style o the unit. Very modern indeed with a flat lid and a real squared off look. I had real problems setting it up however, and after contacting JL Tech. Support was referred to Canon who resolved my problem instantly! The main reason I purchased this new machine was because it was Apple Print configured. However, I tried to set it up via the manual and on Page 5 it states that ALL INDIVIDUAL additional Smartphones must be installed separately. However, 5 minutes with a very helpful lady at Canon Support resolved the problem by simply setting up for all my many Apple items, via the WPS button on my router. Great support. Finally, however do Canon make a printer of this quality for the money? Very simple the high cost of replacement cartridges. Well you cannot win them all! I highly recommend this printer, and great value from JL online>Clifford

I specifically asked whether this printer could print on 8 X 10 glossy paper. I asked for a test print. The printers in the store are not operational. I think this is done intentionally. The salesperson did not know the answer, apparently. He said it could do this.Idonthaveone

I bought the Canon MAXIFY MB2120 because I loved the Canon PIXMA MX870 I've had for 10 years. I don't like the fact that there is no draft print so it is using ink very fast. I don't like the paper tray, especially when needing to print envelopes AND it prints the first 2 letters of the return address on top of each other! Having the rear feeder with much easier – same for using legal paper. It's just awkward! So is having 3" of the paper tray sticking out in front with the flimsy extension on top that is in the way of getting in the file drawer beneath where my printer sits. Using the key pad is also cumbersome when needing to touch the arrow keys so many times to get the screen needed. Yesterday it suddenly lost my internet connection so I had to reinstall the printer and drivers. Really disappointing since I've only had it for about a month. It does print well and does 2-sided pages quickly and easily.TERESA

The Canon Maxify MB2120 is a mixed bag. It prints well, but is an ink hog. I got 388 copies from a set of ink . Not good at all. Printing in color is excruciatingly slow. Printing 25 copies of a flyer, double sided took over a hour. On this printer, scanning from the ADF produced a grayed sheet (from a white paper) with a streak vertically down the middle of the paper. Scanning from the flatbed produced no such result. This printer will be returned.John

I returned the HP 9015e printer immediately as it did not come close to fitting my needs. It is my opinion the whole HP+ line of printers is garbage mainly because of their software. First of all, I am a long time HP Printer user and have liked them previously. My current HP printer broke after 12 years so I didn't think twice to go pickup a new HP printer. I was wrong in thinking things would be the same, after all it is just a printer, right!? 1. Quality is nowhere near my decades old printer. Plastics aren't as good, seams don't align as nicely and ink cartridges do not slide in easily nor do they provide positive feed-back that they are even seated correctly. The paper tray and paper catcher just seemed clunky and cheap to me as well. 2. Setup is a joke. The setup assistant can't add printers to a different WIFI SSID then from computer running the setup. Ever hear of having printers and computers on separate networks? So you have to add it manually from the printer itself and the keyboard layout is most silly thing I have seen and has no QWERTY layout. Once you tackle that the 6 months free ink is a joke as well because it is dependent on entering your credit card and signing up for some subscription service (which you can cancel at anytime) so they can start charging you after 6 months is up. 3. The printer does not like name changes or changing to static IP. I had to factory reset and start over because it messes up registration with HP and their Smart App. 4. Printer REQUIRES internet so you can print. If you need to print from outside your home, sure, maybe you need this feature. Or maybe you have VPN and can connect privately that way. Or maybe you just want to print to your own printer in your private home on your private network, nope, you still need internet access. Of course, HP will say, just use usb cable or WIFI Direct feature which are silly responses. There is NO need for REQUIRING internet access to print. The only purpose this services is so HP can monitor your usage and sell your data. Or they'll say they need to monitor ink levels. Again silly, my 12 year old HP printer told me when ink was low just fine without needing an internet connection. 5. The only thing they did right, was the plastic bag the printer comes in. It has handles built-in so you can easily lift the printer out of the box. In short, loved the plastic bag it came in, everything else is garbage. I went with a different brand entirely and couldn't be happier. It didn't have the cool plastic bag but all the other issues where a non-issue.BestieBest

This HP printer is my third printer in a row rated for home and small business use. The first two each lasted 8 to 10 years each. So I have had good luck with HP so far. PROS: The print quality is very good and the print speed is definitely quicker than my previous models. Setup was relatively easy until… The last step: Print a Test Print… CONS: Then, what sounded like all heck broke loose inside. It took awhile to find the issue inside the printer. HP designed the printer with a loose blue plastic part of some sort. It was not secured with blue packaging tape inside the printer when it shipped and there was no indication in the instructions that there was a loose part inside the printer to be aware of. So, when I tried to print the first test print, the printer jammed. It took several times of opening up the printer and figuring out how the blue plastic part should be correctly mounted. Several more paper jambs occurred in the process. Fortunately, once I resolved the problem, the printer seems to work as it should. Unlike my previous HP printers, HP has really cheapened up the quality of the printer itself by making it all plastic. So the jury is still out if this printer will match the lifespan of my previous HP printers and maintain constant print quality. So, buyer beware. Be sure to open up the printer first to locate the blue plastic part before you try to make a sample print. It would be a good idea to contact HP to get a clear instruction photo / diagram on how it should be correctly. mounted. Their image of the correct orientation of the loose part are unclear on their website page that tells you how to resolve a paper jamb.GypsyMoth

This is the 3rd in the HP-OfficeJet Pro series we have purchased and they seem to be getting worse. This one is so flimsy I doubt it will last long. Our first, the well-built Premium 8600, was sturdy but had a bad printhead that failed prematurely. A replacement printhead sent by HP didn't do any better. The 8620 that we moved on to wasn't as sturdy as the 8600, but was built much, much better than the current 9015e. However, the 8620 also had premature printhead failure. Perhaps that should have been our cue, but we thought we would give HP one last try. Well, this one is a nightmare. It's made of this cheap plastic material that looks like it will fall apart any day. The touchpad for accessing the printer features is so small (a third the size of the previous model's) it is barely usable. Printing and scanning are both so slow and the document feeder is a joke. And don't get me started on the HP Plus membership that supposedly extends the 1-year warranty to 2 years. That is simply a lie. After signing up and doing exactly what is required, it still shows I have just 1-year of warranty. HP said to give it 4 weeks when I called customer service , which I thought was a ploy to get me to hold on to the printer past the return date. Yes, I was right. Instead of extending the warranty to 2 years, they sent me ink I hadn't requested and didn't need, and closed the case I had opened to get the warranty extended. For sure, this will be our last HP purchase.AZNana

I've had such a hard time with this printer. I've installed it and uninstalled and used all of my ink just in testing. It doesn't want to print in color. I have followed all instructions and videos and as of last night I'm still unsuccessful. I've printed in color a few time and then suddenly it stops printing in color. I've had to order ink already because I've used it all doing test pages. I would love to return it but I believe its out of the return time. Unless you are computer savvy I wouldn't recommend. It does well with printing black & white. I do like that you can just send the info from your phone and print, that is an awesome feature. I just wish I could print in color and I would be gold. The printer is very light and nice size, it scans well and easy to connect to Wi-Fi.AZ Mari

I do very little printing but when I do I want it now and quick, which the 3380 supplies. The resolution in print and scan mode is excellent for my purposes. My first 3830, about a year and a half old, as hooked to my personal computer and the second one, brand new, is for my business computer. I used to use the wireless connection to both computers but if either the router or the internet goes down, you have to go through the somewhat lengthy process of pairing the printer to the computer, usually when you are in a hurry to have something printed or scanned. Hard wire is much less annoying. The software for the newer 3830 was apparently "upgraded" from the previous. I don't like it as much. For example, the 3830 is capable of dual side printing and in the older software, the main page asked if you wanted single or dual side printing. I cannot find the option of dual side printing on the newer version. Also, I had the older printer connected to my business computer for a short time and it installed its software upon set up. When I bought the new printer it tried to install its newer software over the older version. Obviously HP did not consider that an older version of its software might be present. Things did not work well for a day or two. I was able to fix it eventually but even now when I click on the printer icon, the page where you select scan, print, fax, etc., takes about a minute to load. I like the printer. The software could be betterGREGORY

My issues with this junk printer are echoed by others in other reviews too. First thing is that it looses it's WIFI connection – going offline all the time. I have to unplug the printer and plug it back in to get it to come back online. Second it looses it's ability to print in color. Especially if you print something in grayscale or black and white the printer will never print color again. Unlike all the other printers I own there is NO SETTING in the software to toggle BW/Color printing so when another program like MS office prints in BW the drivers never can get switched back to color. The only solution is to uninstall the printer driver and reinstall the printer. Horrible printer.Rich

I've had several of these in years past, each slightly different, but with the same basic features and function and all using the same small ink cartridges, which you will need to buy many if used much at all. They are not indestructible and insurance may be worth the money. They last me a couple of years or so, depending on use. Very handy if you have to travel with a laptop; it will fit in the same carry case and still have room for a mini scanner. I've run my business for weeks, even months with the contents of a laptop bag and a cell phone from Europe and any other place i go where there is an Internet connection. For me, well worth the money. No longer tied to an office. The wireless connection is a bit complicated and easily malfunctions, but a 3' printer cable is cheap and resolves that issue. I no longer even attempt the wireless features; I do not need them. It also prints photos with good enough quality to justify the paper and ink expense. I would have given it 5 stars, but I can see room for improvement. Maybe the next generation of the IP 100 series. Also, you might think about keeping the bubble wrap for travel. Functions as a convenient but slow copy machine also.robert b.

I had for many years the predecessor to the iP110, the BCJ-80 Bubble Jet. It was a bit lighter, and lasted until drivers were no longer available. I find the iP110 a worthy successor — sturdy, fairly small to fit in my suitcase, and fairly fast print. I don't think I would rely on it to print photos, but for business uses it is great. I was extremely frustrated trying to hook it up to my home network. The instructions didn't seem to help. So I use a USB connection instead. I found that newer wireless printers than the iP110 are much easier to connect wirelessly. I'm sure it is possible to connect wirelessly, but I couldn't do it. Good printer though.RALPH

Some days I hate this printer, and on other days I love it. I have had mine for a couple of years and today was one of those days when it proved very useful.The printer could be used wirelessly, either by adding to a home wi to network or by using its own wi fi hotspot signal. I personally prefer to use it using it wired.It works with both Mac and Windows PCs and I have not had trouble with using the printer on either OS, and it also works with mobile devices such as iPhones, iPads and Android devices with the appropriate app from the respective app stores.The only issue with printing from the app is that you get significantly less settings to improve the print quality. On a counter you can print at the highest quality setting which is probably best for images, but with the apps on portable devices, there is not much room to change things. I still appreciate having the option to print from other devices because in the past a computer almost became a necessity if you needed to print documents. With this, I can take the crappiest Android phone and print documentsbwhivheans when my PC is out of commission, I can still print necessary documents.With Android I find you have to do two things to print. You need to connect to the printers own wi fi hotspot, and you have to turn off mobile data. If mobile data is on, the phonetablet detects that the internet is not connected, and starts to use the phones data, and you cant print.That can be annoying because if you want to print something from the internet using the printer wirelessly, you must first download whatever file you need, disconnect from the internet and then connect to this printer, print and return to the internet if you need any other thing.With Windows you get an annoying message before you print and there is no way to switch that off. You press print and the job is sent to the printer, but before the printer starts the job, a dialog box appears onscreen for which you have to press OK. I have lost count of how many times I pressed print, then went away to do something else, only to realise I forgot to click OK on that dumb dialog box. You dont get that message with the Mac or on portable AndroidiOS devices.So why do I like this printer Because it is compact, and it allows you to set up office anywhere. I had a much bigger, proper printer which stopped working about a year ago, and since that time, this printer has served me faithfully. Yes, sometimes I havent charged it, and when I have to quickly get a print out I have to plug it in, when I had left the charger in a place where I dont want to go. At other times, I have to remember the slightly different ways in which I could use this with multiple OSsdevices, but once you figure all that out, it is great to use for quick printing jobs. I usually print my childrens homework with a wired connection to an ultra portable PC, which means I dont have to connect to it wirelessly and fiddle around with it too much. The ink lasts a fairly long time, and if you set the print at the highest quality you do get good enough results. However, with images, jnles you set it at the best quality output, you get rather poor quality images with the image split up in obvious sections.This is why not having better quality settings on the iOs and Android apps, makes it less useful if you want to print pictures or graphics sometimes necessary, especially for childrens homework.I have had mine for some time and it still works. I wish the battery was available separately. I have looked for it online and I cant find it anywhere. Canon need to make it available more widelyDave U

This is the first wireless printer I've had and it's convenient to be able to easily print from my phone, laptop, or tablet. I have some minor inconveniences that are nuisances but livable. First issue is, sometimes it says the printer isn't available. The fix is to turn the printer on and off. There's only one time I had to restart my device and not the printer. I haven't had issues with my computer not recognizing the printer when it's wired, so this is new to me. Another minor inconvenience is, you cannot print to the printer when it's asleep. You have to wake it up by tapping on the button. With the printers I've had in the past, it didn't matter if I didn't use it for a week, I could just print and it wakes up the printer. Third minor inconvenience is when you turn off the printer, it asked you if you want to turn it off, no or yes, and you have to push the button to the right to choose yes. I'm used to leaving my printer as is but since this one needs to be rebooted at times, I turn it off more often. It would've been more convenient to have it over the yes button, or just turn it off like other printers. The set-up is easy, the instructions are clear and I followed them to the T. The only issue I had, was the printer quality was very light. What I did was change the settings in the Epson app on the computer. It's a little tricky and had to use Google (YouTube) to help me. The paper type needs to match, if you're using regular paper, vinyl sticker paper, cardstock paper, it needs to be specified to ensure better printer quality. Keep in mind, if the paper size doesn't match on both the printer settings and in the printer, it won't print, it will ask you on the printer if you want to proceed because the dimensions doesn't match the paper. Once you hit yes, it'll print. Overall, this is a great printer and despite the amount of printing I've done, I still have plenty of ink. With my old Canon printer, I would've ran out if ink by now. I print mostly pictures for my journal.Missjoe

This was NOT easy to set up The directions were minimal and confusing. In order to set it up wirelessly I absolutely had to call Epson for help and since it took quite a while the customer service rep seemed a little impatient. I do have to say the Epson printers do a fantastic job of helping you save on ink and refilling artridges is easy. I was disappointed though that the touch screen is wonky there are annoying extra steps you need to go through to do anything on this printer versus our last Epson printer (the T -4760, which is no longer produced). it also took me SEVERAL minutes to figure out how to make a copy lighter or darker or even how to copy. The buttons/icons are not clear and again there are no directions. No Manual or directions other than a several hundred page online version which I wouldnt have been able to print out til AFTER I had painfully figured things out myself. The printer is now working ok. But I did post on Facebook that the next time this printer breaks I would just as soon shoot myself in the head than have to go through another setup with another printer, assuming it's going to continue to be a downhill slide. Kind of wish I had bought an ebay used printer that was the same model as our original Epson.WILLIAM

I've had this printer for only a week, but I can already tell I'm going to like it much better than the HP 9015 it replaced. The HP was a flimsy machine, practically designed to fail. Even though the Epson 3830 has a smaller footprint than the HP and is lightweight, it has a smooth, solid feel that is in a different class. It's well designed and manufactured. Pro tip: once you have finished the initial setup of the printer, the level of ink in the reservoirs will drop slightly. There will be a little ink left in each of the bottles from the initial fill. Refill the reservoirs a second time with the remaining ink, and you will fully top off the C/Y/M colors, and almost top off the black ink. Pros: – VERY low cost per page for both B&W and color – The setup process is awesome, by far the easiest printer I have ever set up – The ink bottles and reservoirs are very well designed and practically drip-free – The output tray is well designed – The printer is quiet – Print speed is reasonably fast – Print quality is excellent – It's easy to see how much ink is left in each reservoir – The footprint is very compact Cons: – Pricey upfront for the printer, but the cost of ink is so low, it more than makes up for the upfront cost – There is no document feeder for scanning (there is a more expensive Epson EcoTank printer that has a ADF) – The front panel is old-school with membrane buttons and a small non-touch display – There was one small glitch in the setup, I could not update firmware from the printer and had to use the update utility installed on my computer during setup (no biggie, but it marred what is otherwise a perfect setup process) Time will tell, but my first impressions are great!EdTheRed

I was replacing my LBP6230 Laser printer that I had used for over 10 years but the quality of the printing was inconsistent so I decided to replace it. I decided my printing needs had changed and went with the lower cost LBP6030 laser printer. The text and graphics looked as good as the LBP6230 when it was printing good. The on feature I miss is the ability to automatically print on both sides. But I knew that when I bought this printer. I only need two sided printing less than 2% of the time and I can still manually do it.John

After years of horrible experiences with inkjet printers from the same manufacturer, I have to say the ease and reliability of this little machine is a pleasure. I'm still on the starter toner after 2 months of use, and the fact that it prints immediately, quietly and without jams is a pure joy. I've seen laser prints with more satisfying heavy black on the page, but for the price this is a great little workhorse. Setup was easy as pie! For everyday office use, I'm happy to live without color and with all these advantages.Johannes

Opened the package and set it up, took about 30 minutes +. Setting up on a Mac for wifi took some time, HP and Epson do it better (for this). The main purpose of purchasing this printer was for foiling. After doing some lengthly and spotty research, I ended on this. I waited until the price dropped around Black Friday and it shipped very quickly–evening arriving a day early! It sat around until I could muster the energy (holidays are draining) to pull it out and find a place to put it alongside my Epson inkjet. I did a test print and then used heat to transfer the foil, needless to say, it works. If you are like me and are still wondering about whether it works for foiling, look no further, this works, has wifi and is cheap (hopefully the cheapness won't lead to short-term uses. (if it does, I will gladly update this review.)Meeks

Purchased a week ago. Smooth, easy wireless set up. Quick B & W printing. Prints card stock, photo paper, both glossy & matte very well. Rear feed great for cards & photos. Scanning is easy with numerous functions. Would give 5 stars if it had an ink system that was more economical. So far, I think this is an excellent printer and a good value. I had purchased a Brother printer in the store that was $100 more because it was in stock, and the Canon was not, but it would not print cards without jamming, so I returned it. Staples credited my visa without any questions or hassle. Had to order the Canon online, but it came overnight, and it is a much better printer, for a lot less money. Will continue to purchase from Staples due to this excellent customer service experience.SUSAN

So far, so good! I have terrible luck with printers and they just don't seem to last. This one replaced another Canon PIXMA that I was never able to get connected wirelessly and would constantly give me errors that it wasn't connected or offline. So, understandably I was a little hesitant to get another Canon. This one had decent reviews which were on par with or better than the others I was looking at, and since it was on sale for a fantastic price, I thought I'd give it a shot. I'm so glad I did! Setup was a breeze, and this is the first printer that I've had that not only easily connected wirelessly, but has stayed connected. Even adding my smartphone to wirelessly print was a piece of cake. This printer practically set itself up every step of the way. It does everything it said it would do and is easily meeting my needs. So far I'm extremely happy.ToyFoxGirl
