Customer Reviews

Extremely pleased with MP610
I have used my MP610 for only one month, but am extremely pleased. I didn't time it, but the "Fast" mode is very fast and better than draft quality for documents. Color does suffer in "Fast" mode. I had banding in a solid black field and colors weren't as true to original. But in 'standard' mode I detected no obvious faults. The 'High' mode with photo paper has outstanding color and detail to my layman eyes. I've printed heavy card stock (45#) with no problem. I dearly love the Duplex feature. I had paper feed problems with my previous HP printer, but this internal Duplex mechanism is much more than I expected at this price. The description and pictures of the product did not addequately show the paper feed options. There is a straight through feed from a raised paper holder in the rear requiring a height clearence of more than 7 inches over the height of the printer. The feed tray also leans slightly back requiring about 4 more inches clearance behind the machine. Also to my surprise there is a paper feed cassette in the bottom of the printer. It pulls out forward to load and then is reinserted. It can hold multiple sized paper, and presents a 'U' shaped feed path. I've yet to use it.
The 610 functions well as a color copy machine. I've used the scanner once to scan a company's gold emblem to use on 'home made' business cards and found the quality more than adequate in color and detail. I have NO complaints, yet.

What You'd Expect from Canon
This printer is my fourth Canon, but my first all-in-one. Canon builds good printers that work, and this one fits that description, but it is not a step forward over the i860 it replaced. In fact, the print quality of the i860 is quite a bit better.

I do think that complaints about its size are a bit unfair. It is larger in size than some other printers that do the same things, but it fits fine on my printer stand. Set-up was easy, and I had it up and running within 30 minutes after getting it unpacked, a daunting task in itself.

Overall, I'd say text printing is very good, copys are good, but scans are only fair, and photos are somewhere in between. The card reader works just like a card reader.

If you can buy this printer for around $150, I think you'll be happy with it, but you might want to find somewhere that you can actually see it in action before buying it. It does all the things it's advertised to do, it's just that there really isn't a wow factor to any of them. Perhaps that's fine for everyday home office use, but if your more of a photo or graphics hobbiest, you probably should look at other models, including those in Canon's own lineup.

Great Printer at a Great Price
This was purchased as a replacement for a worn out all-in-one printer from a different manufacturer. It is used primarily as a text and graphics printer and photocopier. The quality of printed materials, in both black and in color, is excellent. Copy quality is also excellent. The Canon uses five ink cartridges -- CYMK for color work, a separate black for black-only work. I've been in the computer industry for fifty years and have owned and used many different printers. I highly recommend this printer.
