Canon Pixma iP2600 Photo Inkjet Printer (2435B002)

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 bought this printer from Walmart for about $30 or so. Canon did a terrible job with this printer! It does print, and it can print some nice photos - not top quality but decent and usable. Its not really fast, but its not horribly slow. One thing to note - it has a design flaw - there is only one side of the paper tray that has a feeding mechanism and its faulty. It complains it has no paper constantly and may print crooked if not babysat. If I had more money at the time, I wouldnt have bought this printer, I would have purchased a different brand or a different model. The saying applies here - you get what you pay for. Ive had it for about a year and Im tired of fighting with it. I hate this printer!

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.

I like the printer so far - havent done much with it except print text, so I dont know how it does with pictures. Ive had it for about a month and the black ink jet ran out, but I have printed quite a bit with it so far.

The start up process is a little bit slow from the start but print quality; I cant complain on that. The sounds coming from the printer sounds unsettling at first but soon quiet down once the machine ready for business. Overall this particular printer performs with the best of those more pricey models that print quality comes up far short in comparison.

Canon tends to make good products, and this is no exception. A very good printer for the price.

LIKED THE PRINTER at first, BUT HORRIBLE DEAL. . . The Printer controls your ink use through MICRO CHIPS! For example, it tells you when you need ink, so you are a slave to it. I only print BLACK & WHITE, but the color gets used up! How is this possible?? AND WORST OF ALL, you must replace this (UNUSED) Color Cartridge BEFORE you can print again!! UGH. I hate this so much. Everything was going so well. . . DO NOT BUY unless you are made of money and enjoy going to STAPLES all the time for refills!!!

Ive only used it for print so far, and the quality is excellent. No mechanical problems. I would like the option to print from back to front (spend 30 minutes looking for the feature last night to no avail) because documents come out face up so you have to re-organize documents that print out.

The girl at Best Buy was shocked when I asked for a printer that just printed not one loaded with all sorts features. Had to find one on Amazon. I like Pixma printers, so why not buy another. It gets the job done for me.

Ive been using Canon printers happily since the very first Bubble Jet. Over the years I learned how to use bulk ink, relatively inexpensive non-OEM cartridges, etc. Ive used a few HP printers, but they always seemed to develop hardware or other problems after a year or so. So I picked up the ip2600 for general use, mainly in my home office, where I simply want something to print documents (usually in fast mode greyscale). Occasionally something in color. When I want to do prints I use an ip3500, in the basement, which does a much better job. This printer will take you to the poor house. It goes through these tiny and over-priced chipped cartridges at a stunning rate. The overall quality is pretty good. Not brilliant, but certainly passable. But, holy cow, Canon has joined the rip-off ranks. So, now this one goes to the basement for emergency purposes only. Come on guys, if youre going to do these chipped cartridges, at least make them with decent capacity at a fair price.
