Rating I have read some of the reviews about color and paper isuess. I just got mine yesterday, and was very nervous about buying paper to feed it. After considering the things I read online, I was going to spend the extra money and go with cannon paper, but decided at the last minute to try office depots pro matte finish paper that was far less expensive, and came with a return policy if I was not satisfied. I threw about 10 photos at the printer, trying to test it in as many ways as possible, from black and white, and vivid multi-colored complex pics, nothing I did would cause it to produce anything other than stunning photos with depth. Bottom line, for the price, I could not be more satisfied, and would love to see a printer in this range put out a supperior photo. I am not a pro, and I am sure that there are settings that I have yet to even play with, but for printing right out of the box, this was to easy, good job cannon. (BTW, I am a Nikon man at heart, own the F-100 and D-100, just could not find a printer by them, although, I did not look very hard) PS, I did make the mistake of printing a low resolution(400 800)photo on 8 and a half by eleven, and that did not work so well, but the same pic at much higher resolutions, came out perfectly!!!!!
