User Reviews for Canon Canon Pixma iP2600

  • Reviewed by: Vern

    Duration of ownership: 4 Months

    Strengths: Prints decent quality.

    Weaknesses: Color ink runs out fast with only black & white print. Although the color has to be replaced, the black turns to green until the color is replaced. Ink is expensive and it appears to use that flaw.

    Overall Evaluation: Well below my previous Canon i560
