Good office machine, but photos are just OK
(4 out of 5) by J. Veazey on Apr 30, 2008 (Houston, TX USA)Bottom Line: This is a good multifunction inkjet. All functions range from adequate to very good.
Pros: The scanner is very good, with an auto feeder, and scan quality is good for both documents and photos. The print speed and quality is good. Having 2 paper sources (bottom plain paper cassette, rear feeder) is a time saver. The auto-duplex printing is very handy. Fax quality is good. Auto feeding for faxes is nice, but not something I will use that much. Builtin networking, so I don't need to have a PC continuously powered up when the family laptops want to print. Photo prints have good detail and shading. Printing directly from various memory cards and cameras is easy.
Cons: Photo prints colors need some tweaking. It's all a bit bright with a tendency toward a very slight pink cast. Admittedly, I have not done that many color photos as yet. Tones and shades are not as accurate as a printer with more colors. This one has 6 ink tanks, but 2 of them are shades of black, so printing must be done with 4 colors. This printer is adequate for amateur snaps, but won't replace a dedicated photo printer. No scanning of film or negatives. Printer is large but that's a given with this many functions.

Not as top of the line as it should be!
(3 out of 5) by Roger Sadowsky on Oct 5, 2008 (Brooklyn, NY United States)I am a very big fan of Canon printers and All-In Ones. I previously have had the MP780 and the MP830 of which I had no complaints and would have rated 4-5 stars. My complaints with the 7600 are:
1) slow to print first page
2) cannot use regular paper from the rear paper loader (only the cassette).
3) a bit noisy before and after printing.
4) ink only available online
If I had to buy again, I would go with the MP850.

MX 7600 extremely disappointing, noisy and no ink
(1 out of 5) by C. Barwis on Sep 5, 2008 (New York)The Canon MX 7600 is very noisy. It annoyingly clicks and clacks for minutes after it is done printing, and while speed of page printing itself is OK, the printer waits for up to a minute to start printing many times. I've had the machine for 2 weeks and already it has started jamming paper every 15 sheets or so. And the ink required by the MX 7600 is not sold over the counter by any store in New York City. No stores even list the ink, so you have to buy it online. And Canon's support dept. was absolutely no help whatsoever with coming up with a solution. How can Canon launch a product and not provide the ink anywhere!
I replaced a Canon MP 780 which I liked, after it wore out, with this MX 7600 and am extremely disappointed and will now try another company's products. One last inconvenience to note, unlike the Canon MP780, paper for normal use in the MX7600 cannot be loaded from the rear, but must be loaded from the front cassette which holds less paper.

Full automatic duplex and good little SOHO network multi-function
(4 out of 5) by E. A. Smith on Nov 29, 2008 (Seattle, WA USA)Canon Pixma MX7600 Office All-In-One Printer (2437B002)
We have run it through its paces for 8 months now in a small office. We generally only use the MX7600 for color jobs and use our cheap-to-operate older laser copier/network-printer for black and white text business docs and forms. (We do not use the fax or scanner functions on the MX7600 as we have a separate dedicated high-speed document scanner and use an Internet fax service so I will not comment on those fuctions.)
We wanted a color printer/copier that was full featured and high quality. But we only have low volume print needs because we run a "less-paper" office, usually opting for electronic document delivery and storage. This unit fit the bill--it offers automatic full duplex for copying and printing which saves time, paper, postage, storage; the network setup instructions were detailed and clear; it is Energy Star rated; and it works on our PCs and Mac. It has separate ink tanks which save us money and resources. And last but not least, the output looks at least as good as color laser quality.
The color copy mode could use some work--color business documents come out too light unless you manually dial up the darkness setting.
The MX7600's unique "clear ink" paper treatment "fixs" the color and black inks to the paper so it does not smear or run. The paper does take longer to dry than expected--I assume because of the clear ink treatment.
The unit does a little dance to shake up the ink tanks at least once a day. Otherwise it is pretty quiet. It seems to go through the inks fairly quickly but I guess that is par for inkjets--I just hoped it would not be the case for a model that you pay up front so much for.
Even though the unit has been out for 8 months, we still cannot find the inks in stores (only online) but we assume that issue will be resolved soon.
Overall, it is a solid performer--printing excellent quality duplex color business documents over our network, an occassional photo, and as a back-up to our old B&W laser copier/printer.

Mostly works with the Mac OS X 10.5
(4 out of 5) by M. Gould on Sep 6, 2008 (Los Angeles, CA)I have this printer networked with my Windows PC and my new iMac. I haven't yet figured out how to get the scanner to work with the iMac.
It was pretty much plug and play for the PC. The installation instructions for the Mac 10.5 are nowhere near actual installation instructions--even the latest instructions from the website aren't correct.
Printer is great, scanner is very good, networked capability is reliable, just gotta figure out how to get the scanner to work with the lastest Mac OS.
