i have had this printer (bought from amazon) for 6 months. i had to give up a lovely epson that had never let me down as it wouldn't work with my new Mac. the very good reviews the nice customers at amazon gave this machine prompted me into its purchase above a new epson 680. br / br / the scanner is great. it has beginner and advanced user status and is very easy to format. the prints are super fast although the colour management is not so compatible with the new iMac's monitor, eg, the prints don,t look like they do on the screen. but then i take my work up to a local print shop and they use PC's and the colour saturation is always an issue. i have to drop the saturation by 25% to print out what i see in front of me. altering the colour management system so that the printer has control rather than the computer seems to work best. br / the canon copies even faster than it prints with no nasty shaded bits and super white crisp edges. br /the scroll wheel is a stylish though somewhat pointless addition to the interface, and the machine is very heavy, bulky and on occasions noisy. br / br /however, the overall quality of the prints, the fantastic scanner and the speedy copier system make this a great purchase, BUT and its a big BUT, only if you are prepared to pay top whack for your printer cartridges. br / br /if you print a lot, which i do, you may make the mistake of attempting to fit a CIS system. after the macbeth like scene of ink spattered work surfaces and stained hands, followed by near hysteria as to why was i so stupid that i couldn;t fit the simplest system in the world, i gave up. later discovering from a website that canon have designed the 610 to twart such an action. canon have also got into the cartridge chip and made it tell you that its empty when its not, thereby forcing you to purchase another cartridge. so if say the magenta cartridge is reading empty, the printer will not work. you can,t do anything, no scanning, no black and white printing, nothing. turning the printer off and then on again actually uses more ink...eek the price of endless replacment landfilling cartridges has made me view this very un eco machine with suspicion. br / br /perhaps its becaue i'm working off a Mac that means i can,t tell the printer that the catridges are full, but i searched the web and its seems a vry common problem. i even bought a chip re setter this morning and tried to re set the chips, but no, the techno boys at canon have got that one covered. the printer simply reset them back to empty. if you google printer chips for canon 610 all of a sudden the bad reviews appear. in fact no good reviews appear. br / br /in conclusion, if you are happy to shell out loads of dosh on OEM or Canon cartridges, then this is as good a printer as any in its price range, (probably better). i do have issues about all the plastic that i throw away and i am angry that Canon employ techno staff to force me to do that instead of encouraging recyling and refilling.

I have just purchased one of these units for my son who is overjoyed with its performance, he say's "this is the best bit of kit I have ever had, it does everything it say's on the 'tin' and more." This really is the best thing since sliced bread and deserves a rating of 11 out 10
 Excellent printer - hope this one lasts! October 25, 2008

Very pleased with this printer, although a little nervous as it was bought to replace a lower-range Canon whose print-heads suddenly refused to work, apparently - after just over 12 months' use. Anyway this one prints really well, has been working happily for a couple of months now and again has the useful duplex printing. For ordinary printing we find it really simple to use, similarly for scanning/photocopying, although the buttons could be more clearly labelled. For printing onto CDs we found the manual unclear - it isn't in the setup booklet that comes with the machine and the CD one seemed to have more than one relevant program to follow, and didn't seem to explain clearly what it meant by 'recommended' and 'other' CDs so the first attempt was very blotchy. Subsequent tries printing straight from memory card onto CD are very impressive but seem to be taking forever to dry. Have had fun making some impressive items through the Canon craft site (credit goes to them, not me!) and being able to print onto card is another really useful feature. Would give 5 stars if manuals buttons were clearer (also if it can be demonstrated to last....!).
