Canon Pixma iP2600 Photo Inkjet Printer (2435B002)

I bought this printer about 3 yrs ago for $30 at Wal-mart, and at the time I thought maybe I should buy a all-in-one instead. But now Im really satisfied with this product. I guess whether the product will continue working is dependent on users using manner. I think Canon has some very good products. I bought a printer for about 3 yrs, a copier for about 2, and both still work properly.

The detail is great, even with printing xrays. However, if you print photos a lot, realize that you will need to purchase another within 12-15 months. There is a part called an ink collector which gathers dried ink from cleaning the printer heads after every print (This is what makes such awesome photos.). Laypeople cannot dump it; only an authorized Cannon Maintenance Individual can get into this sucker and dump it. If you are a corporation on a regular route with a Cannon maintenance person, then youll probably be OK. We are a small office and cant afford to have a Cannon Rep on retainer. A one-time maintenance visit to dump out the ink collector costs 150.00. Since the printer is 140.00, I call this a disposable printer.

What I ORDERED was a new printer, and while I haven’t yet tried hooking it up, it doesn’t look like a new one. Their are no power cords, no instructions and it was shoved into too small a box which was then put into another box of the same size. This may have to be sent back. NOT acceptable!

This printer broke a month and a half after I bought it. It no longer takes the paper I load into it properly, and is unable to print anything. Ive gone back to using my last printer, and now Im wondering why I upgraded in the first place.

This printer constantly feeds more than one page through at a time. This means that I have to reset it every one or two pages. I have yet to have it print more than 2 pages without jamming. It also uses up ink quickly and ink isnt cheap. I takes a long time to print. It defaults to printing 2 pages on a sheet. I would never buy this printer again, and probably wont buy a canon again because of the level of frustration I have with this printer.

I bought this printer over a year ago. I only used black ink - but lo and behold when I went to print something in color - there was no colored ink left! Besides the fact that it prints a minimal amount of black type - and the fact the ink costs a fortune! You pay for this printer on the backside. It is definitely not worth the $50.00 it costs. If you do buy it be prepared to have a lot of ink cartridges on hand because you will need them.

Very happy with the Canon Pixma line of printers. Have used many brands over the years and this is a strong choice. Installation is easy and it prints beautifully. Mostly documents but the occasional graphic looks great.

Grant it, I only use my Canon iP2600 for occasional small print jobs, but once I got used to the top paper loading and the noisy and slightly slower operation, I adjusted to it fine from my HP Deskjet. It gets the job done and the modest price makes up for little quirks. If I printed more often, I might check ink refill prices of other printers because Canon cartridges are certainly no bargain. Ive only had it for a few weeks, but so far, so good.

Simple. Easy to set up and use. Noise not too bad. Start up a bit slow, but it is an ink jet.

I bought this because it was cheaper and easier than to get my broken one of the same model serviced, plus I had a few of the ink cartridges and I didnt want those to go to waste. The printer works as stated and is a great basic printer for anybody. I received the item quickly and with no issues. Great transaction!
