ink usage is alot better then the previous hp's and epsons i have owned.
from www.amazon.com
on the whole, i'm very satisfied with the printer although it has just been a few days of usage.
from www.amazon.com
the print is crisp and clean and it is easy on the ink usage.

i first tried to go with hp all-in-one, mainly because it seems the ink usage would be lower than canon's.
from www.amazon.com
i haven't put this unit to heavy usage (as this unit was purchased for hme usage) but i find it has more than enough features to keep me happy.

from clockwork from Ga, clickfrom.buy.com
software works well, is not bloat-ware and runs in the background w/little resource usage.
from Analyst7, reviews.cnet.com
the ink usage is a little expensive, but what ink isn't these days -i'm now trying the larger-capacity cartridge to see if i get more bang for the buck.
from www.amazon.com
that being said, for the purpose it serves in my usage it works great.
from Ching, www.newegg.com
paper and envelopes into it… other thoughts: this thing seems to be using more color ink than i’m used to seeing, i have already replaced the color cartridge after 3 months of light usage.
from www.amazon.com
with my light usage i was completely surprised.

ink usage has been minimal (so far) but we have yet to heavily use it.

from Crispin from North Prairie, WI, clickfrom.buy.com
however the caveat to this printer (versus the i960) is that the ink cartridges have a built-in chip that monitors the ink usage and alerts you to low ink levels and replacement time.
from www.amazon.com
i haven't had enough experience yet to know about the ink usage, but i wasn't looking for "cheap," just "quality." so far, no complaints.
from skysi, www.newegg.com
pros: speed, quality for the money, ease of use, moderate usage of ink cons: doesn't do dishes :o) other thoughts: canon printers have improved a lot.
