My wife and I subscribe to the idea that when you purchase something and it does what you bought it for, then it's what you needed at the time. We finally deciced it was time to replace our old printer, because we wanted to print some photo's and scan our old 35mm negatives. If there is a better tool out there then this for the money, it would truly have to be an amazing piece of technology. We have a large amount of photo's professionally printed and framed on our walls. Mostly family members. We scanned our negatives and couldn't believe the results after printing! As good as any of our framed prints, better then most, as they are aged. The scanner seems to be very fast. My wife is making scrapbooks for our children as holiday gifts. Using the scanner and printer has been no problem for her. We just ordered our second order of photo paper. The ink is lasting longer then we figured it would. We use Canon paper and ink, figuring it is a system that works very well together. I've read complaints about the size of this machine and the cost of ink refills in general for printers. This machine is not small by any means. However, place your scanner and printer on top of each other and see how big it is. And I'll bet you can't print both sides of the paper with what you've got now. As far as the ink goes, You have 7 ink tanks, instead of 2 to 4 or 5. More tanks to me mean fewer changes. And you only change the empty color instead of throwing out 3 partially used tanks to refill one empty one. This all-in-one machine does everything well!!!

I bought this printer/scanner primarily for it's ability to scan negatives. It does this job very, very well. A plastic holder is provided into which up to 12 negatives can be placed. The scanner is then activated and it scans each negative into a .jpg file of about 5Mb (it will also do the same for slides). It takes about 10 minutes or so to scan all 12 negatives, but it's completely automatic so you can be doing other tasks while you wait. The resulting images are really impressive. They are of quite high resolution and look beautiful. A potential negative for some is the lack of an auto feed for print scanning. If you have a bunch of prints to scan, you might want to look elsewhere.Oh yeah, this is a printer also. Like its scanning, the MP960 does this job superbly with ultra high resolution and well defined colors. I haven't compared costs, but I suspect it is cheaper to have prints made on line. Still, for the convenience a local printer can't be beat and the quality is equal to what you'll get from most online printing sources. Also, the ability to choose specific paper for different tasks is very useful as well a being a way to save a few cents.If your looking for a color printer/scanner this one is hard to beat.

This is a very good unit... it is fast and printing quality is excellent.The big downside is the quality of the scans... This has been mentioned in reviews but not elobrated upon..The scanner is overall fast and can scan a high dpi. However, the scans are "dull looking". There are manual controls to change saturation, sharpness, etc... (though in general it is better to do these things in Photoshop).I have scanned 100+ slides and 10-20 photos.Here are the scanning issues:1) Colors are dull2) The scanner does not do well with dark photos3) With deep colors (like water in a swimming pool) the scanner gets confused and (rarely) all colors are too deep.90% of my photos can be "fixed" using Photoshop... However, it takes time. I have to increase the saturation and adjust the levels (or curves) on each photo... an average of 5 minutes per slide (but usually more if I want it to look really good) .... I have an old Epson scanner (5 years old but it was decent at the time... so far about half of my old scans are better than the new ones)If you dont have a decent editing photo program, you may be in trouble if you are relying upon high quality scansWould I buy this again? Maybe. If you are buying this with high hopes as a reliable photo scanner, look elsewhere. For all other purposes it is great
