Canon Pixma MP520 Photo All-On-One Inkjet Printer (2178B002) Review
Canon Pixma MP520 Photo All-On-One Inkjet Printer (2178B002) Review from Renee O Pruitt. Found the perfect printer, I had weird requirements. I use this printer at work and print out a lot.
1. I wanted a printer that didn’t annoy you with boxes that came up telling you that it’s printing. I can hear and I know when I hit print without a box coming up! This printer does not annoy me at all! You hit print and it just comes out .. PERFECT!
2. I wanted a printer that didn’t have complicted software that would fail. Again — you just print and it comes out. I’ve noticed that when I cancel print jobs, they actually cancel!!! It doesn’t freeze up or anything!
3. I wanted a print cartridge that lasted a while. I print mostly black. This one has 4 print cartridges with different colors. I used to replace ink constantly with my last printer. I haven’t changed any ink on this one yet. That’s a miracle in itself.
4. I wanted a printer that printed fast and didn’t had to warm up for 20 minutes to print. This one does warm up when you haven’t used it in a while but no 20 minutes … Just a little noise here and there and it starts up. After that things spit out amazingly fast.
5. I wanted a printer that could manage to copy faster than it would take me to get up and go to the copy machine. This one works pretty darn fast especially if it is alreay warmed up. It starts printing before it is even done scanning. I like.
6. I wanted the buttons to work independantly of the computer. I wanted to be able to copy without finding some application to do it on my computer. This one does. You can even pick color or black copying and still just hit 2 buttons. I hit the start for black/white copy two times in a row and it spits out.
And I noticed a bonus feature. I can actually choose if I want to load paper from the back or the front! I was amazed because I figured out I could load envelopes in the back and the regular paper in the front and not have to reload the two depending on what I was doing! I could hardly believe my eyes!
I noticed that the cheaper models use a different ink and that ink uses up quicker. If ink usage is your concern, I would buy this one — The cheapest with the best ink. ENJOY!
