Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

UPDATE 8/14/15: I have barely used this thing over the course of a year and a half, and the CP910 just refuses to print. It complains about paper size even when using a brand new pack of Canon branded paper and a new cartridge. This issue is consistent between my iPhone and my Mac. I have contacted Canon support via email and hope they'll offer some insight. I've dropped my rating based on how I feel about the product at this moment. If Canon makes things right, I'll adjust my review accordingly. **Original Review** We are a new media firm creating content for education and corporate clients. We also provide technology workshops for educators wanting to learn how to incorporate Apple technology into their classrooms. Photography weighs heavily in our workflow, so our standards for photographic prints are probably higher than most. When you invest time and resources into a calibrated, color-corrected imaging workflow, you tend to be picky about the output of your work. Given that background, we're not thrilled with the output quality of this printer. Even drug-store and big-box store prints look far better than what this printer can produce. Granted, we haven't done much with this printer, but we are familiar enough with available options to pass judgement on this Canon. I would not remotely consider using this for client work. However, for kid projects, this is a compelling purchase. And, this is what I consider the sweet spot for a printer such as the CP910 - occasional photo prints for casual projects. When our kids have school projects requiring photos of the family and such, this is the perfect answer. No ink to dry out. No need to switch paper in the main printer, etc… We purchased this printer to include in our educator professional development workshops. As an AirPrint capable printer, this is a great, compact solution to demonstrate in schools that have deployed iPads. On a per-print basis, a standard inkjet printer would be more cost effective. So, we're mainly using this to demonstrate AirPrint in our workshops. Perhaps it's unfair, but I docked a point for the lack of prints I can make right out of the box. Sure, I wouldn't knock a regular printer for not including a ream of paper, but this one does require specialized supplies. Would have been nice if I could have gotten at least 20 prints out of this thing to decide if I wanted to throw more money at supplies. I also dropped a star for print quality. Again, maybe my standards are too high, but I'm hoping this review is helpful for anyone considering the product. If it's any consolation, we're ordering the ink/paper pack - despite it's shortcomings, we're keeping the CP910. Pros: 1) AirPrint - really the only reason we bought this! 2) No ink to dry out 3) Small 4) Easy to set up 5) Convenient for the scenarios described above Cons: 1) Print quality 2) limited print sizes 3) Didn't come with a battery (like an older model we had) 4) Only a handful of prints included (i.e. the photo card stock and "ink").
