Canon Pixma iP2600 Photo Inkjet Printer (2435B002)

Ive mostly used this printer for the last few years of college; alot of text, color powerpoints, etc. but not so much full-size color photos. I agree it is a bit of an ink sucker but I have found you can get quite a bit of mileage from the cartridges after the low warning comes on. I keep a new cartridge handy and dont replace until it physically runs out. The occasional reprint is worth it to me because of how many more jobs I can get out of it that way. Other than that, the printer has held up beautifully to a few years of active use and I have no complaints about style, function, or features. A good overall printer, I think, if youre not photo-heavy and willing to max the cartridge.

The new printer straight out of the box showed a jam signal. The Canon service technician on the phone could not help us. We are suppose to find a Canon service dealer and have them repair it.

I bought this printer a couple of years ago in college for $30 bucks and it the best one i have ever owned. My parents buy a new fancy one it seems every two years and they always break. This one is simple and reliable.

VERY expensive to operate. A decent printer for the price. Does what its supposed to do but WOW it drinks ink like water. And not the generic stuff either, it has to have the expensive Canon ink. Ive only owned this for about 5 months, but I think Im going to throw it away and buy something a lot less expensive to operate.

I, like some others stated, got this little guy from Walmart for under thirty last month. I was expecting little for such a price but definitely got more than I paid for! 1. This printer is fast. Speedy for an entry level printer. 2. I am printing a lot of screens from a game, so full color. I had to play with the settings quite a lot to get the look I wanted. I love the Vivid Photo setting. Really makes the colors pop. 3. I have learned paper really makes the print job, so I am using some GREAT Matte Photo Paper by Printworks. (Available here on Amazon.) Make sure to set the paper to High Resolution in the settings! 4. Some one mentioned in their review that they could not print from the last page. That setting is available, under Page Setup in the settings. 5. It looks good! (But the black coating picks up prints much too well for my liking.) Cons: I think Canon should be ashamed of the racket on ink that they have going. At the rate I print, I would be using two carts a month of color. Nearly fifty a month, more than the printer cost!! After much research, I found Hobbicolors ink on Ebay. WOW! That ink is BETTER than the OEM ink. I tried some ink from Amazon, but it was not as good, watered down. I have refilled twice now and no problems with Hobbicolors. I am just staring at my prints in awe. It is a little noisy, but you can turn on quiet mode in the printer settings. It prints a little slower, but I am not in all that much of a hurry. I am just a hobbyist, not a graphic designer or anything, so I can definitely recommend this printer for the everyday user.

We found the print to be good but the printer tended to feed two or more pieces of paper at a time. We couldnt figure out how to correct this.

I was needed a printer for quick jobs at home and purchased this machine because it seemed stylish. It has been a wonderful saver given space issues in my home. When the top and tray fold up (which is very quick to do, this sits like a nice black box on top of my desk. It is unobtrusive. I can easily stack stuff on top of it if I need the space. The printing is quite nice, though the ink is expensive. I would definitely not suggest getting the ink from anywhere other than an authorized dealer. I have tried to get the ink on-line a few times, but have ended up with cartridges that have so little ink that it is not worth the money. I have since decided to only get ink from Staples, where I can be sure that they are not putting some fractional amount in and sending it to me. I use to have an HP and would have no problem finding ink on-line, so this is a bit unique to the cannon 40/41 vendors. Print quality is what you would expect at $50. It does the job for office work, but obviously if you are a photographer and need the highest in quality pictures, than you should probably pay up for some of the fancier printers. However, if you just need an occasional print job that can be a reasonably grainy, this will do the trick (I sometimes print CD covers with it. Its fine).

My old printer died and I had a lot of ink cartridges for it. I am so glad I found a compatible printer for the cartridges and the printer works like a dream! And the price was reasonable!

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

tHE CANON IP2600 IS A QUITE SERVICABLE PRINTER. THE PRINT QUALITY IS QUITE GOOD.
