with scanning, the color reproduction seems fairly close between the two machines, though i'm getting more color accuracy from the 830.

to the stores testing them out and found that the canon printer had a much better resolution when it came to copying, then the epson, both in text quality (much sharper) and in color reproduction.

this unit is a little larger (a couple inches here and there) but it more than makes up for it in it's great scans, true to life photo reproductions, and it's abundant features (compared to the hp).
from www.amazon.com
having said that, the color quality on this printer is much better than the epson printer i was using for color print out.
