Advantages: Individual inks, multiple paper trays, good quality.

Disadvantages: Inks can be expensive, can suddenly run-out.

Had the MP640 for a few months now - a very belated accompaniment to my EOS 450D Digital SLR camera. First impressions are that it's very good. I wanted something that printed high-quality images, and it doesn't disappoint. I'd read reviews that said Black & White images had a slightly pink tinge to them, but I must say I haven't noticed that myself. It's easy to set up and the inks are very easy to put in/replace. The inks have lasted for around two months of weekly use, and can be expensive to replace depending on where you go. You'll find that they're generally a lot cheaper online - you can purchase separately or in packages. Back to the printer, and the interface is great with a nice wheel and responsive buttons. There are two trays, so you can print on plain paper or very thick photo paper/card/envelopes. There are also CD trays included, allowing you to print directly onto discs. It's also Wireless, but I haven't used that. Overall, very impressed indeed. A great companion to my Canon SLR.

Summary: Very good printer, but keep an eye on ink levels!
