My last printer was a multifunction Canon MP370 which lasted about 2 years, but it finally clogged up out of warranty. The Canon MP600 is kind of big, very heavy (which I kind of liked that for a change) but is extremely fast, produces high quality output and easy to use. I’ve had it for 2 weeks and both my wife and I use it daily. She copies lots of stuff for her artwork, scrap-booking and card-making. I’ll be looking for after market ink soon. Canon would make more money if they simply cut the ink costs by about 40 or 50%. This is a very good multi-function, much better than my past experiences with Epson and HP.

I spent days researching multifunction printers and the Canon MP600 had everything I wanted. It prints. It scans (quickly). It photocopies (producing very crisp images in color and black and white). Prints from a memory card and a PictBridge enabled camera. The only thing holding me back before buying was the five individual ink tanks, which I realized would probably end up being more economical in the long run than having to replace one combined tri-color cartridge when a specific color ran low. I am not a novice in such matters, but Canon’s instructions do tend to leave you guessing.
The unit’s parts are not identified with corresponding numbers when you go through the “easy setup” process. Additionally, during the critical ink tank installation phase, where you are warned not to touch the electrical contacts or the ink ports - easily enough done when there are NO diagrams showing the correct position to hold them while installing - you are left guessing. The first step in this portion is to install the print head. A word about Canon’s descriptive powers when it comes to explaining the functionality of their products on their website as well as in the product manual itself: Poor. I had to check three different sites (Amazon, PCmag, and Cnet) to find answers to the most basic questions - how many sheets of paper do the trays hold? Does it print double-sided?
Even in the provided manual, under paper information, the number of sheets you can put in is expressed in maximum inches and centimeters of the overall stack, not by the number of sheets of paper. Though the unit has a solid sturdy frame the flimsiness of some of its parts cannot be overlooked. As previously mentioned the plastic auto sheet feeder and extension support are on the flimsy side and tend to collapse downward at the slightest jostle. The copies are sharp and crisp. The print quality on text documents is also sharp. I would highly recommend this machine if you want to print, copy, and scan and do not need a legal-sized flatbed scanner or a fax, as this has neither.
