I chose this printer as it has very good reviews and some folk on here recommended it too as being very good for crafting.
Now it might just because it is new and the inks may be have been produced a while ago, but I am not always that happy with the results I am getting when printing from my cds.:confused2:
I usually use HP everyday semi-glossy photo paper for decoupage and always got excellent results with the HP multifunction we had prior to the canon. Also got good results on the c&c super smooth paper and other 100gsm paper I use for backing and inserts. Always clear crisp images.:mysmilie_499:
The canon doesn't always seem to be a crisp. I am trying different settings for different papers to see if that makes a difference and it does sometimes. Colours aren't always as good as they were with the HP either.
I have one of those colour heuy gadgets that Fab once recommended that I haven't used yet. But then that won't make nay difference to how the printed result will be though from the printer.
I'll just have to keep trying. But it's wasting ink and paper! I have ordered a new set of inks to have instock as they others run out. Maybe I will eventually see a difference.
