So Far So Good1152229875

Pros:

Fast, Quiet, Quality Prints and Text

Cons:

Ink tanks are chip controlled

My wife and I purchased the MP830 about three weeks ago, I must say, so far so good. We've printed high quality photos and text while using better quality papers and we're delighted with the numerous features that will help in a our small office environment.The first time we used it I was a bit disturbed with the noise of the unit, but after calling tech support they had me adjust the quiet mode which is found in the maitenance selection. Now you can hardly hear it print. It has two paper feeds, one in the back and the other in a tray located under the unit. I have looked for cheaper inks and found they are becoming more available, but as far as refilling the tanks, I don't think it's possible without voiding your warranty. I'm sure that in the near future someone will have a work around figured for this. The fax units instructions are a bit misleading, so if you have any problem's with setup, call Canon's Tech Support, they are free for the first 12 months after which it cost 9.95 per call, that is, unless you buy the extended warranty, which is an additional 95.00 for two more years. Not bad for the kind of support offered. All in all, I think this will be a keeper!!
