 Very good printer. December 17, 2008
Very nice printer, I already have a year with it and all I can says is amazing, nice colors, very fast, nice features (print, scan, copies...), very happy that I got this printer. The only small thing could be that it is a litle big!!!. (That's why I put 4 stars)
 Unable to clear your own Jammed Paper December 12, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
One major flaw with this product, you can't really clear jammed paper. If you're printing from the tray onto 3x5 or 4x6, there's a good chance there will be a feed error, trapping the piece inside the unit. If you're lucky, you can get it to spit it out when another sheet goes in.
If you're unlucky, you get to take it to an authorized Canon repair and pay a flat $75 service fee for them to clear the paper. This was the rate in my local area.
All features are unusable until this is cleared.
Sadly I thought I'd paid my goof tax and this couldn't possibly happen again. Well it happened a second time. That's $150 in service, quite a bit more than the price of this printer.
It's a great unit, scan, copy and prints as expected. Ink is a bit pricey but have found picking up the black two pack here from Amazon comes out fairly reasonable.
 Excellent! Can now buy it from Amazon for a bargain price. December 10, 2008

I've had the Pixma 610 for a little less than three weeks. I ordered this printer from Amazon at 10 p.m. on Nov. 10, 2008, chose free shipping and received the printer Nov. 12th (1.5 days). Amazing Amazon! But at the time of writing this review Amazon is offering this printer for $50 less than I paid for it. I made several phone calls to Amazon and Canon but could not get it price adjusted. Amazon's new price is an internal "instant rebate," but Amazon no longer offers "matching" even its own price. Oh well, you can't win all the time and I am pleased with the printer. Customer service for Amazon and Canon are both excellent.
I use an iMac computer and it is compatible in all its functions. I've printed 53 b&w documents, 7 4x6 high quality photos, 2 sheets full of high quality photos, 17 color documents, 12 sheets of text with some color, and I made 4 color copies, for a total of about 100 printouts. All of the ink cartridges still appear totally full.
Text and color are excellent; even the economy mode is excellent; indeed it is hard to tell the difference between economy and standard modes. Photos and color copies are excellent. Speed is plenty fast for me. (I am retired, do not use the printer for business, but have hobbies involving computer work.)
As other reviewers have stated, you need desk space for this printer: with front tray open you need 23 inches depth; the printer is 17.5 inches wide; 7.5 inches high, but you need 15 inches height in the rear for the paper in the rear paper feed. For me this printer fits very well on my desk space, but I measured carefully before buying it. I like like the printer's sleek appearance.
The control buttons are very easy to use. I like having two feeder options: one from the back (for my used one-sided paper) and one from the cassette (for my fresh paper). The paper in the cassette sits inside the printer and is apparently dust-free.
I even discovered that if I leave the front tray closed, it opens automatically before printing. So when not printing it can be left closed to keep dust out.
I tried the scanner and need to learn how to use it's several options for where to put the scan, what format (e.g. jpg or PDF), email, etc. It appears to do a very good job. A scanner is not a big issue for me since I won't be using it much. However, one thing which mystified me is how to delete the images that accumulate in the scanner's "My Box." The latter is where all the scanned images are stored. Neither the printed nor the on-screen manual addressed the question of deleting them. Two other reviewers cited this problem. I discovered that you have to go to your computer's "pictures" folder, choose "MP Navigator EX" and delete from there. Easy!! but Canon should have put that into the instructions!!!
Great machine for the price December 10, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I've had this Canon PIXMA MP610 for about a month. The copy quality is excellent in black and white, and in color. The printing is quick and quiet, the scanner works well, and the controls are intuitive and easy to use. I'm not particularly technically oriented, and I found the machine wonderfully easy to set up. The instructions were superb--absolutely clear, and everything happened just as it was supposed to. It is a smart machine and will do things like stop to tell you, "the inner door is open. Please close it." I was able to print something within half an hour. I can't speak about ink use this soon, but I bought this machine because Consumer Reports recommended it highly and gave it a good rating for the cost per page. I haven't tried the photo printing yet but it is supposed to be excellent. I gave this great machine four stars for only one reason: the plug in back is not snug enough and falls out at the drop of a hat. This is a pain, but is probably not typical.
