I love canon products and I own a scanner, two printers a digital camera. Ok here's the problem with this printer. First of all it messed up after i replaced the ink cartriges for the third time. Now everything prints with a yellow tint. I cleaned the print head and deep cleaned umpteen times no luck.The other problem is it really uses up the ink. It has 3 color tanks that are said to last longer, but once one goes the other two are right behind them. My recomendation is the canon Ip 1500 it prints pictures as good as the ip3000. The nice thing one black and one color cartridge that you can get on the web for less then ten bucks for both. Also they are very easy to refill. I can not see the difference between print quality with the ip3000 and the ip15000. Canon does make great products and hasexcellent customer service. I do alot of printing and tried hp, epson, lexmark but Canon is the best and has the cheapest cartrides.
