Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon MP620 Wireless All-in-One Photo Printer
Customer Review: Printer for Mac
Summary: 4 Stars
I got this printer like a month ago for home. I really don't print much but I wanted a wireless printer since its the trend now, I havent set up the wireless but I have printed a couple of documents, For Pics its not that good, the contrast with the colors wasn't great, just barely ok. For documents was good. A little bit noisy when its gonna start. Its really ease to set up. It was under $100 so it was cheap, I dont print that much so i cant tell about the ink consumption. Customer Review: Excessive Ink Consumption
Summary: 1 Stars
The printer enters a cleaning cycle every time it is started up, and only before first sheet is printed. I went thru and entire set of cartridges before getting thru 100 sheets of paper. Research on the web. Stay away. This is a tactic to increase ink sales.
I have almost exclusively used greyscale, yet my color cartridges have continually dereased in levels.
Customer Review: DOES NOT print nor scan if one cartridge is empty!
Summary: 2 Stars
As other reviewer said, this printer "will not print greyscale if any of the color ink cartridges are empty" -- and it will not scan either! THIS IS SIMPLY ABSURD, I've never seen a printer behave like this... I had an old Canon and although it was kinda big and ugly (like this one), it was a fine printer that dealt well with the ink problem. Can't say the same about this model though... On top of everything, printing over wifi is slow! DO NOT BUY.Customer Review: horrible quality and constantly need new ink
Summary: 1 Stars
i have never posted a review for a single product. but my hate for this printer made me think, SURELY other people have written poor thing about this, maybe they have help for me.
not only is the ink expensive for this, it's all individual and it CONSTANTLY runs out of "one" (say Magenta). i very rarely print something, and when i do, i need it right then. not later -- after a trip to the store for more ink.
it will NOT let you print/scan/fax if one of the ink cartiridges are out -- and i just went and purchased a new magenta so i could print these evening, ran tests to see if OTHER ink was low, and low and behold, after i replaced the magenta, of COURSE now the cyan and black are out as well.
i hate you, canon MP620. you were a waste of money, mainly the ink cartridges, but more than that, a waste of my time dealing with you.
i won't even begin to talk about the low quality of the color and the resolution . . .
Customer Review: Great Printer for the Price
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this unit a year ago. I'm a theatrical designer who does a lot of photo printing and rendering on Photoshop, so I was looking for CYMK wireless all in one. I have been very satisfied with the MP620, and have recommended it to several friends who have in turn purchased their own.
As my previous printer was an HP, and the first attribute I was looking for was a rear paper feed for thicker photo paper. I have not had a paper jam in over a year despite using cardstock and photo paper on a regular basis. The under cartridge hold around 200 sheets of regular paper, too, so I'm not constantly refilling the paper when I'm printing papers or the like.
As an avid Photoshop user, I was pleased to discover that the printer automatically installed its proof profiles onto Photoshop. These are invaluable in "tweeking" a photo's color on the screen vs. how it actually prints out. Set up a proof view using the MP620 setting, have Photoshop manage the colors, and you're going to be as close as you can get without spending the extra money in on-screen color monitor hardware, which can get pretty pricey. I would recommend that if you're going to be doing high-end photo display, get the canon photo paper. It more accurately represents what's on the screen after the proof set up.
The ink does run out pretty quick, but it's rather inexpensive at Staples, and if you join their Rewards Club, it's around $11 a cartridge (between the cartridge return refund and the 10% discount).
The included software is easy to use and setting it up was far less complicated than I made it.
The scans could be a little better, but I don't use that feature very often. They're certain acceptable for my applications.
This is a great inexpensive photo printer for individuals on a budget, but who want decent photo reproduction and usability.
