Canon PIXMA MP980

Canon MP980 Printer – Excellent printer with wide capabilities. It suits us to a tee for our home/home office. We have had it for over 3 years and it is still working fine with not one problem. Great high quality printing + photocopying and photos crisp. Has multicard direct input to print direct from camera storage cards. Has optional 2 feeder paper sources so you can feed in special sized or recycled paper without having to remove the fresh A4 supply. It scans brilliantly too, and with a flat bed design we can photocopy/scan books and magazines. Also has a photo-negative scanner and can print CD/DVD labels. Overall very happy. top quality print, multifunctional, reliable and robust Ink consumption seems a little higher than previous printer (?needed for higher quality print)

Worst printer I have experienced! – Having owned a previous PIXMA which I was very happy with I had no hesitation in purchasing the 980. BUT the printer inks are the problem. 1. The ink tanks are 1/2 the size of the previous Pixma I owned. 2. The machine has a regular tank cleaning cycle and can drain the colour tanks to empty. 3. The ink replacements are expensive 4. If there is an ink tank issue you cannot use the other features of the printer until the tanks issue is resolved.

Very disappointed I would not but a Canon again. The features. Expensive inks that drain without even colour printing. Printer useless if ink tank issue

High Quality and Fun to use – Canon is finally waking up to themselves and coming out with a new range of printers. Overall you get what you pay for and this in conjunction with a CISS is un-stoppable.... That is, untill it 'Prepares for Print'. There is WAY too much preperation even if all you want to do is print one line of text. I have set two other family members up with this system as even though waiting is annoying, the print quality is next to none. Spend the extra $$ for a Rhiac CISS as their INKS are second to none. Have fun! High Quality Prints, Customisable Cleaning Cycles

Good – Many reviews mark the MP980 as a slow printer - it can be slow to start but for home use it's perfectly reasonable. It's features - wireless/network printing and scanning, CD/DVD printing, slide/negative scanner, duplex printing - (all of which I use) are great and all functions work well. I would love a document feeder (for the scanner), but it is not essential. Comprehensive feature set - wireless/network printing and scanning, CD/DVD printing, slide/negative scanner, duplex printing. All these features work well. Can be slow to start printing (after turning on). A bit pricey.
