Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon Pixma MP520 Photo All-On-One Inkjet Printer (2178B002)
Customer Review: Printer is awesome
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great product in itself, though it was hard to find ink cartridges locally. I had to go to 4 different places to find the black ink.Customer Review: Good printer
Summary: 5 Stars
We purchased a Canon Pixma MP520 which was highly rated by Consumer Reports, and so far, so good. For a reasonably priced combination printer it is performing well. The print speed is good and the scanner has good quality resolution and is easy to use. So far, the feed is more reliable than on our HP. Customer Review: College Student Printer
Summary: 5 Stars
The printer works great. The printer prints great color and black & white paper. The printer scans with high quality. The design looks great. The printer provides many different functions. Customer Review: Excellent Replacement for an a planned obsolescence Epson
Summary: 5 Stars
Epson, I expected, contained a streak of altruism in their business plan. However after just over 2 years a perfectly workable printer ceased to function---the LED display disappeared which made the thing impossible to program. I also found myself repacing ink at an inordinate regularity so I began to do my homework.
After weeks of study, and review reading, I chose my Canon Pixma520. Seemed that I could find none who would knock the product and many who regaled its virtues.
The price was right, many underscored the lengnth of time that ink "tanks" lasted and simplicity seemed to be the watchword.
So far after two months, I have found that I made the correct choice. The printer, easthethically, is a proud addition to my office and has been a pleasure to operate. I do a great deal of digital picture taking using Picasa as my photo storage. The transfer to and from the printer is simple and seamless. The image quality is very good. The transfer, from printer, to computer via memory card, since the slots are so well placed, is a pleasure to operate.
As for availability of ink---that seems to be a slight burr in the saddle of all the printer manufacturers. Don't be surprised when you feel you have to get a loan, at the bank, to purchase the OEM ink. With a little searching I found a company with the hauntingly interesting name, Carrot Ink.com, who will save me a great deal with refill kits.
One word of caution. When to receive your purchase and attempt to load the driver you may find the instructions a bit ambiguous. I was forced to eMail questions regarding Canon's instructions. Expected to receive answers in 24 hours like Epson---Scuse me! Canon came back, immediately with the solution. That's customer service!
Am I happy and satisfied with my purchase from Amazon and Canon---YOU BET!!!!!!!!!!!!
