I had this printer less than a year and used it primarily for printing documents. My daughter was born on November 1st and I tried printing pictures on photo paper and the color didn't print right. So I thought it was time for new color ink. Bought Staples brand photo ink, about $50.00,(replaced all colors, go figure there is no such thing as photo yellow) and it still doesn't print properly. Now I am out $50.00 in ink. I took out and cleaned the print head and it still sucks. I am very disappointed in this printer and will probably never buy another Canon again!
