 An excellent printer December 3, 2007
30 out of 30 found this review helpful
A previous reviewer has covered most of my impressions about this printer, so I will only highlight the main ones. Overall, this is an excellent printer. It is a little large, when all the trays are fully extended (h=13.5", depth = 21', width 17.5"), which could be a problem for users with limited space. However, one does not need to use both trays (at least not at all times), so it is possible to reconfigure it so that it can fit better into limited space. Having two trays is handy, since it makes it easier to switch between paper of difference sizes or qualities.
Setting up the printer is fairly straightforward, though somewhat time-consuming, in part because it spends about 12 minutes calibrating itself as part of the setup. The instructions are ok, but the accompanying informational book is only fair. Some aspects of the printer use are not addressed, so one has to make educated guesses to have the printer do certain things. Once operational, the printer is fast, capable of two-sided output, and produces high quality printing. Text on plain paper is very good, though on close inspection one can see a little bleeding of the ink. It's about as good as any nonlaser text I've seen, be it HP, Canon, or Epson. Photographs are spectacular, with brilliant colors, and very high resolution. Overall, this is an excellent choice if you are looking for a good general purpose printer, capable of producing fine text and photographs at high speed.
 For the money... great. November 24, 2007

Bottom line: for what it costs now, great product. Dependable fast prints, simple profile and easy to use. Great buy.

Great product-for the money, this is one of the best printers available.
The only problems found: (1) Ink too expensive
(2) Uses too much ink
(3) No excellent generic product available- Canon saw to this by reprogramming their chip
Good printer for the price November 15, 2007

After much deliberating between brands and features, I decided to go with a medium priced printer for my general purpose printing and some photo printing.
When the printer arrived I was a little surprised too at how big the box was but the printer still fits nicely on a standard stand.
Setup is a snap. Install the Printer Head, he Cartridges, install the driver and plug it in. That's it. I am happy to see that Canon provides 64bit drivers for most of their printers now so it was not problem on my Vista 64 bit machine.
The driver naturally automatically installs selections for most Canon papers and printing a Borderless 4x6 using the Canon 4x6 Glossy Plus Paper resulted in pretty good colors in comparison to my calibrated monitor. I do not recommend to have the driver manage colors, let the Software do it (like Photoshop) it's just doing a better job at it.
Overall, I think it's a great value and a good and fairly fast printer.
The added bonus of having 2 trays (I use the cassette for plain paper) saves me time in switching paper around.
Nice, but too big and too expensive November 12, 2007

Great printer, nice color, nice speed. The two printer trays are an added bonus along with the duplex features. I could not find any reviews on this printer before I purchased and all other previous models seemed to have been sold out or discontinued, although I now see the iP3500 is now back on sale. I would have maybe purchased the iP3500 instead just for the lower price.
Another great feature is the dual voltage. My previous canon S750 did not have that feature.
