PIXMA IX6820 BUSNSS PRNTR [並行輸入品]

muy buena impresora, la uso para positivos de serigrafía y tiene una muy buena calidad y hasta el día de hoy no me ha fallado

I am very impressed by this machine and believe that Canon made a marketing error calling it a "business printer". I am an artist who uses photo reference, so I need a lot of good, detailed prints for my work. Previously, I was using the Pro9000 II. It made very nice photos, but I could not support its unquenchable thirst for ink. With 8 small cartridges, I was constantly ordering refills. The cost was terrible, but it was also extremely inconvenient--I never knew when I was going to be stuck in the middle of a project with no ink. I tried an off-brand refill system but it leaked all over the place. So, apprehensively, I decided to try one of the printers with fewer cartridges--at least with only 4 inks (I believe the pigment black is only for text) I could cut the problem in half. I decided that I could live with diminished print quality in exchange for the cost and convenience. Well, so far I am delighted with the prints from this model. With a little tweaking, I was able to get a near-perfect match to my monitor (I reset the printer with a bit less magenta and a tad brighter). I was never able to do this with the Pro9000 II, which was inconsistent from print to print. There is no visible deficit from having half the number of inks--transitions are just as smooth or better, colors are vivid, contrast is excellent. It's difficult to be certain, but details and textures might be ever-so-slightly sharper with the Pro9000 II, and the ink dots might be a tad more visible with the iX6820, but that's under very close scrutiny. So far I've printed about 12 8 1/2 X 11 prints and the ink levels are all above half--and that is using the smaller cartridges that came with the machine. That's already better than the Pro9000 II, which would have been demanding a fix by now. I have only been using it for about a week, so I can't attest to its durability--I hope it will continue to work this well. I also can't comment on the wireless capability. I just connected it to the USB cable I had from my last machine. It works fine with a cable but quite a few people have complained about wireless problems. UPDATE: Many months later, this printer continues to make excellent prints. I notice that when I don't make a print for a long time--maybe a few weeks--there will be a slight bit of banding in the first print that comes out, but that seems to work itself out quickly by the next print. This is excellent performance compared to the Pro9000, which had a lot of banding issues and needed to be cleaned and fussed with regularly. I have had 2 small problems that should be noted. The paper feed is somewhat unreliable--there have been a few times when I had to fiddle with the paper for 5 minutes or so to get the machine to grab onto it. Also, the ink sensor function is extremely premature, to the point of being useless. I was able to continue to make excellent prints for a very long time after the notification that inks needed to be replaced. Interestingly, when the ink finally does run out, the difference in prints is abrupt...you know right away. These are annoying defects, but the quality of the prints is still such an astonishing bargain that I am keeping the 5 star rating.

I use it everyday!

quality wise very good .. but ink cartridges are very costly

Best printer for pictures! Prints big pictures too. Easy set up.
