Title: Much easier to setup using the Windows app!
Review: Since 1995 I've used many printers starting off with a Canon bubble jet. Since then I've used Brother, Canon, Lexmark and Epson. Admittedly for print quality Epson's sub lim dye is the best printing you're going to get. Their ink also lasts longer in regards to photo-life. As far as cost and availability of their ink at stores though is another question. Cost-wise they're all pretty much on par with each other for all brands these days.You can improve the print quality on Canon printers but you'll have to fool with the settings to get there which I don't mind doing. You'll also use a little more ink but that's the cost of quality.The Windows App made setting this printer very easy and kudo's to Microsoft and Canon for that. This is my first tank printer which I'm looking forward to using but you have to keep in mind that if you don't use the printer at least some what regularly, the ink to the printhead WILL dry out if you leave it idle for too long. Keep that in mind for EVERY printer unless you're using a laser jet.After adding the ink and updating the software I printed out my test page, simply scanned it and the printer itself set the print alignment to it's best settings. Super easy!Print outs aren't the fastest which is fine I'm not looking for speed to be honest. Print quality is very good on standard settings but I'll probably set it for best print quality later. Canon printers inherently have a sequence of sounds that hasn't changed in 28 years lol. Same for most other brands too. Not annoying but not silent either so don't expect that. It's no louder than the other brands.Canon has always done good black and white printing well before the other printer brands and their color quality has improved significantly as well.Having tanked ink versus having to buy cartridges is VERY cost effective! You essentially pay double for the printer but save long-term in the amount of printing (the REAL cost). We used to have a Cartridge World store that would sell refurbed ink tanks that worked 100% of the time but that location closed recently and sadly. If you have one near you I highly recommend them!I had recently bought an Epson XP4200 AOI printer but finding the cartridges took some time and forget locating them in your local store unless you get lucky, then came the cost. The XL cartridges range $30-$50 which is about what I paid for the printer new. Even off brand ones aren't that cheap.Having a tankless printer saves me time in finding ink and saves me a ton of money over having to buy overly expensive cartridges. Many of the 3rd party ones don't always work either so it's iffy in regards to cost savings.If at some point I have to do the printhead bath to clean them I don't mind, it's well worth it for not having to buy outrageously expensive cartridges. I'm done with them!I definitely recommend this printer even if you're only doing average home use. Just remember to use it every week even if just once.

Title: For the price? Excellent.
Review: It's not the highest quality color print, and it won't turn a paper around for you to auto-print double sided, but it does scan, it has both wireless (using WiFi/app) and wire connections (have to get your own cable to print via wire connections though), works on desktop and for mobile devices, easy enough to set up, but most of all it's extremely affordable. The print quality is decent if you have the settings a certain way. (Even when using plain printer paper, set the Media Type to Matte Photo Paper for better color. This will also use up more ink though, so if you're fine with a faded print for longer lasting ink, such as just for documents, the Media Type Plain Paper is the better choice. Print speed is also a bit slower if you go for the better color density option, which makes sense.) Print speed is fairly normal, not fast, but not slow as molasses either. The ink is easy to refill and ink bottles are a fraction the price of what you'd pay for cartridge refills. As a teacher who only has regular access to black and white printers at school, when I want an occasional page in color to post in the classroom and don't want to spend too much on the print since it's out of pocket, this does the trick nicely.

Title: Perfect for Home Office: Cost-Effective and Reliable!
Review: After a long battle with my old HP printer, I finally gave in and bought this one. I've got to say, I'm pleasantly surprised! Hereâs the rundown:Pros:Affordability: This printer is a steal, especially when you consider the refillable tanks. Ink bottles are way cheaper than those annoying cartridges, so you save a lot in the long run.Print Quality: For the price, the print quality is pretty impressive. Adjust the settings to Matte Photo Paper for better color, even on plain paper. Itâs not photo-lab quality, but perfect for everyday prints.Ease of Use: Setting up was a breeze. The ink tanks are color-coded, which makes it super simple to fill without any mess. The app guides you through the Wi-Fi setup step-by-step, and I had it up and running in no time.Ink Efficiency: The ink lasts forever. After a few months and over 200 pages, my ink levels are still nearly full. This is a big win, especially if you print a lot.Versatility: Works great with both desktop and mobile devices. I work from home, I need to print print a lot of pages for work, and this printer does the job without breaking the bank.Cons:Connection Issues: While the initial setup was smooth, it sometimes struggles to stay connected. Each print job can require some fiddling, which can be annoying if youâre in a rush.Print Speed: The speed is okayânot fast, but not snail-paced either. It does slow down if you go for better color density, but for everyday use, itâs fine.Size and Weight: Itâs a bit bulky and takes up a good chunk of desk space. If you have a small office, this might be a bit of a drawback.No Double-Sided Printing: It doesnât have automatic double-sided printing, which is a bummer if you need that feature regularly.Overall Conclusion:This printer is a fantastic deal. The money you save on ink is a huge plus, and the print quality and ease of use make it a solid choice for home or small office use. It has some quirks, like occasional connection issues and no automatic double-sided printing, but overall, itâs a practical and economical option. If youâre looking for a cost-effective printer that doesnât need constant ink refills, this oneâs definitely worth considering!

Review: Sick of wasting money on ink for cheap inkjet printers. They're not a bargain. This unit will allow you to clean the print heads regularly without blowing ANOTHER cartridge! Pretty much solves the cost problems of inkjet printers.
