Text print quality is fair, though on our standard, multi-purpose paper you can see some feathering, which gives a slightly scruffy appearance to the text. This is for a print in normal mode, though.
These don’t come close to the quoted speeds, because we time a discrete print job, the kind of job most customers will use their printers for, not the mid-section of a continuous print run as manufacturers prefer for obvious reasons.Ī 15 x 10cm photo print, at best print quality, took 1:36, a reasonable time for an inkjet, but not close to the headline figure of 55 seconds quoted by Canon. However, our 5-page text document took 56 seconds to complete in normal mode, giving a print speed of 5.4ppm, and the text and colour graphics print took exactly two minutes, a print speed of 2.5ppm.
This unusual honesty is something other companies could mimic to good effect. Set-up involves installing Canon’s standard suite of support software, including a driver and the Easy Photo-Print EX applet which, as the names suggest, provides basic photo printing support.Ĭanon quotes both draft and normal print speeds for the iP2600, with 22ppm and 13ppm for black and 17ppm and 7.8ppm for colour. They clip in easily, once the carrier has moved to the maintenance position on the carriage. The heads are integral with the ink cartridges in this machine, so you get a new head every time you change the black or other tri-colour ones. Hinge the whole of the printer’s top cover up and you have access to its twin print cartridges. The only sockets at the rear are for mains power and USB connection to a PC or Mac. The button with the error indicator forces a paper feed.
There are no fripperies like memory card slots and the only indicators, each set in their own button, are for power and error condition.
