5 out of 5 stars Great Printer, Great Price   August 27, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I managed to buy under a hundred dollars and have been very happy with the product. I had an Epson before, which eventually failed from clogging issues. I bought a new AIO Lexmark, but could not get it to print for some reason though it would scan and copy (I tried customer support, which was utterly unhelpful). I swore off buying from those two companies ever again. I was losing hope in any printer manufacturer until I found this. Set-up perfectly with no problems and print quality is great for simple home use. Scans faster than my Epson or Lexmark did, and better quality in my opinion. I like that this printer has a flat top (I tend to be a bit haphazard and pile things on top of all kinds of equipment) so there are no "bumps" to make things roll off the top if I set them down on top of the printer. I love that I can feed paper from the front (as opposed to printers that usually make you feed from the back so you always have the paper feed guide sticking up and out collecting dust when not in use). This Canon lets you close everything up when not in use so it's easier to keep dust out of all the crevices and when it's time to print, just flip down the front panel and feed paper in from the front and close things back up when done. Much better design than most printers available in that respect. This printer has been everything I needed, and works great for me.


5 out of 5 stars Great printer!   August 25, 2008
I love this printer!! I had an old one for so long that didn't work right and so, I'm not sure if this is a great printer, but in my book, I couldn't have done better! The pictures that I've printed just on paper are great quality. I love that I can copy without turning on my computer. And my card making program is finally in working order (since I can now print out what I create). I would highly recommend this printer.


1 out of 5 stars ink problems from the beginning   August 23, 2008
From the very moment I started the MP520 up, I had to re-insert the yellow ink well before it would print. Then it got to be two or three times before it would print. Two weeks later, and the magenta ink well acts up from time to time, and the yellow... well, I just spent 20 minutes re-inserting it and never could get it to work.

BUYER BEWARE, this printer is nothing but a headache! A printer that won't print is worse than the cheapest alternative out there.

The colors are also far too saturated for photographs (when you can get it to print, that is) on auto settings, with caucasian skin tones literally turning out red in anything but bright light. It's a real hassle to try to adjust the colors manually, and it's something I'm guessing most people buying this product won't want to do.



5 out of 5 stars Everything I thought it would be   August 17, 2008
This printer is a Consumer Report's Best Buy. So far I like it. It seems very efficient on ink. Only time will tell, but so far so good.


5 out of 5 stars Printer is awesome   July 23, 2008
This is a great product in itself, though it was hard to find ink cartridges locally. I had to go to 4 different places to find the black ink.
