Customer Rating:      Summary: Full automatic duplex and good little SOHO network multi-function Comment: Canon Pixma MX7600 Office All-In-One Printer (2437B002)
We have run it through its paces for 8 months now in a small office. We generally only use the MX7600 for color jobs and use our cheap-to-operate older laser copier/network-printer for black and white text business docs and forms. (We do not use the fax or scanner functions on the MX7600 as we have a separate dedicated high-speed document scanner and use an Internet fax service so I will not comment on those fuctions.)
We wanted a color printer/copier that was full featured and high quality. But we only have low volume print needs because we run a "less-paper" office, usually opting for electronic document delivery and storage. This unit fit the bill--it offers automatic full duplex for copying and printing which saves time, paper, postage, storage; the network setup instructions were detailed and clear; it is Energy Star rated; and it works on our PCs and Mac. It has separate ink tanks which save us money and resources. And last but not least, the output looks at least as good as color laser quality.
The color copy mode could use some work--color business documents come out too light unless you manually dial up the darkness setting.
The MX7600's unique "clear ink" paper treatment "fixs" the color and black inks to the paper so it does not smear or run. The paper does take longer to dry than expected--I assume because of the clear ink treatment.
The unit does a little dance to shake up the ink tanks at least once a day. Otherwise it is pretty quiet. It seems to go through the inks fairly quickly but I guess that is par for inkjets--I just hoped it would not be the case for a model that you pay up front so much for.
Even though the unit has been out for 8 months, we still cannot find the inks in stores (only online) but we assume that issue will be resolved soon.
Overall, it is a solid performer--printing excellent quality duplex color business documents over our network, an occassional photo, and as a back-up to our old B&W laser copier/printer.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Great network scan & archive sytem w/ beautiful print quality Comment: Easy setup and functions worked as advertised, which is saying something (especially given any HP experiences).
Purchased the printer for creating plain paper marketing materials on non-glossy 100% recycled paper. Have not purchased the paper yet.
1. Print quality on plain paper is beautiful - though not as smudge resistant as I would like. Reviews say smudge resistance is very high on photo paper.
2. Network scan to pc using only the printer console actually works - both on Vista and XP. If you want this function, don't even be tempted by cheaper HP printers - even a $1000 HP laser AIO could only scan to 1 PC in our office (and they're all the same type!).
Recommendations:
For searchable archiving, I would recommend an OCR software that will monitor the folder that the scanner will place files in. Upon scanning, the OCR software will create a searchable PDF. At $50-100 for this type of software, the combined archiving system costing max $400 (including MX7600) would rival systems costing thousands.
*Knocked 1 star off for smudgability...of course that's nitpicking but 5 stars implies a perfect product.
Note: Would be great to see this in an A3 (11"x17" to 13"x19") version. That would be a 6 star product!
Customer Rating:      Summary: WHERES THE INK !!!!! Comment: I can't believe for a Top Model you must go online to get ink. plus photos are not that good. Scanning and copying text above average. warm up time slow. and the display screen is quite small. Faxes are above average. For the price I expected more.. especially with such poor photo quality..Oh yeah I'm on-line right now to buy ink gotta go!!!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Don't bother Comment: I was really hoping this would be the one - not even close. Takes a while to generate first output. Continuously noisy before and after producing. Too many steps to make adjustments. ADF sometimes works properly and sometimes does not. Poor scan quality. Images are not sharp - you have to constantly make adjustments to get just average image quality. Design presents many opportunities for breakage.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Not as top of the line as it should be! Comment: I am a very big fan of Canon printers and All-In Ones. I previously have had the MP780 and the MP830 of which I had no complaints and would have rated 4-5 stars. My complaints with the 7600 are:
1) slow to print first page
2) cannot use regular paper from the rear paper loader (only the cassette).
3) a bit noisy before and after printing.
4) ink only available online
If I had to buy again, I would go with the MP850.
