Pros: durable, easy to use, fast print speed, reliable, Sharp Tones & Colors, insane longevity!
Cons: Heavy/Bulky, can use a lot of ink, ink increasingly harder to find
We have had this MP 730 Cannon printer for over 5 years. It is an absolutely wonderful printer. It uses a lot of ink sometimes, but its quality is consistent and its speed is high. Some photos do come out with lines occasionally. This printer has stood up to a lot. We regularly print documents of 1000 pages or more. As a professional graphic designer, I was very pleased with the scanning and copying ability, coupled with awesome printability. This printer has helped me showcase my leather business and provided unbelievable service. Unfortunately, after years of loyal service, my printer finally went down in the line of duty. It refuses to feed any paper of any kind, and no one, not even the support team can tell us what went wrong. I only wish I could buy another one brand new! Farewell old friend...
Pros: Lightweight/Portable, Easy Setup, easy to use
Cons: Large Footprint
I liked it so much that I have two of them - one for the upstairs and one for downstairs. I use the printer and copy functions all the time. When I need a fax or scanner, it is there and works great. Changing the ink is simple and easy to find in stores. I had one issue and went to the support site and was back in business within ten minutes.
I have had this product for almost 5 years and it has performed very reliably. All the features, including fax, have worked well.
It does take up a lot of desk space and it takes what seems like a long time to get something printed. I can live with that.
I believe the honeymoon is coming to a close as I have just ordered a new desktop with the Vista SP1 Home Premium 64 Bit operating system. I am told all that's needed is a free update from Canon. We'll see.
Pros: Lightweight/Portable, durable, Easy Setup, easy to use, reliable
Cons: Large Footprint
I have used my MP730 for well over three (3) years with few problems. I like that I only replace each color ink cartridge individually. One of the first features I found to be extremely useful was the 'Scanner' that converted source documents into PDF's for storing on my harddrive.
The only problem experience is with the 'Automatic Document Feeder' (ADF). If I use copies or items printed that are not completely 'dry', the 'ADF will feed multiple pages at a time, instead of individually.
