Advantages: Fantastic quality printouts even in fast draft and hassle-free installation.

Disadvantages: Expensive cartridges.

Although this printer can be picked up for around £30 on some websites, it is definitely worth more that this relatively tiny price tag. After my all-in-one printer decided to give up the ghost, I bought the Canon iP2600 as nothing more than a temporary stand-in but will certainly not be replacing it anytime soon after seeing its performance. It prints both everyday monochrome text documents and your most memorable moments in perfect quality. Everything I've printed has been completely flawless, even in fast draft, with photos coming out beautifully despite my cheap photo paper.
The printer itself is in a sleek, high-shine black and can either be folded away to be fairly compact or opened out to catch outgoing documents. I have previously had both Hewlett Packard and Epson printers and neither have come anywhere close to this printer in any way.
Furthermore, the installation of this printer was quick and pain-free, with a simple installation guide with easy-to-follow instructions.
The printer also comes with everything needed for installation and use, including a few sheets of good quality photo paper. As per usual, the only item not included is the USB to printer cable, as this is very rarely provided.
The only disadvantage to this printer is that when I recently had to buy replacement cartridges, they were roughly £25 each in every store I looked in. The cartridges do last well, even when printing photos, but in my case this meant that I spent more on the print cartridges than the printer!
Despite this, I would recommend this printer to anyone, as its performance and value for money are fantastic.

Summary: Sleek design, Great value for money, Perfect photos and documents.
