Canon MF3010 Digital Multifunction Laser Printer, Black, Standard

Item is very good but service is not available

The most confusing dilemma an user would face when looking for a printer - LASER OR INKJET.. A Question with a lot of sub-questions...1) INITIAL EXPENSE(High Product Expense) or AFTER PURCHASE EXPENSE(high ink costs)?2) Black & White or COLOR?3) Single Function or Multi Function?Before i start sharing my experience on this one, let me share my past, my previous printer experience- one of the most terrible and bitter experiences i had in my life and that too because of another world class company's product - EPSON ME 340 INKJET MULTIFUNCTION PRINTER..After doing extensive research on several brands(HP,Canon,Epson) and types(Laser and Inkjet) of printers, i made a most terrible decision - to purchase EPSON ME 340. I don't believe in bad luck or fate..it was only because,i made some slight miscalculations or may be my whole research was on the wrong side.. :(My primary intention was to get a printer for home use- to satisfy my academic printing requirements. The reasons which influenced me in making my decision were1) At that time, EPSON was the only one supporting 3rd Party Ink Tanks, so less printing cost can be achieved and that too with a Multi Function Color Printer.2) The crooked salesman at my local IT shop cheated me by giving a false promise, that installing a 3rd Party Company tank won't affect my product's guarantee. he also said he had handled several similar cases without any issues.. I was totally trusting this guy...3) Last but not least..i was so much blindly obsessed with brand EPSON's reputation..Guess what happened? After spending an eye whooping amount of around 5600Rs (3800+ For Printer and 1800+ for ink tank),My printer stopped working just after 6 months of usage. When i called the IT shop, they totally refused their earlier words and offers in providing the assistance in claiming guarantee and they told me that it's main board of the printer that became faulty and in order to make it work again,i should spend another 3000+ and when i contacted company service, they refused to provide me guarantee due to additional modifications which i have made to the printer.. well i don't blame them, standard company regulations.. it was my fault to believe that crooked mind...NOW ABOUT THE PRESENT......After a year, due to heavy printing requirements(Final year project documentation,seminar, reference materials,etc) i thought of purchasing another printer again. This time i have made a firm decision at the beginning itself..i will purchase from a reputed online seller. After my detailed comparison tests and scrutinies, found 2 best devices to suit my needs- HP 2520hc and Canon Image Class MF 3010.Out of these two,i finally decided to go with canon because1) i have very good experience with two canon products before(canon ixus digital camera) and canon projector.2) Most of the other online sellers were offering these printers for prices near to their MRPs without any substantial discounts, but when i saw the price of canon MF 3010 @ amazon i was astonished.... around 24% discount to MRP...7650Rs instead of 9900Rs.Initial Experience--> Printing Quality is excellent...Very fast printing compared to slow inkjet printers(First paper out in less than 5-7 seconds)..Can't talk about toner mileage since i have printed only few papers..Scanning Quality is one of the best among this class of printers... An amazing feature i found in the copier other than normal copy is to select 3 modes-1) Paper Save(2 papers on one side) or Card Copier(to take the copies of small identity cards)2) Brightness adjustment(to set density of black color, by this way we can effectively increase the mileage of toner bin)3) Enlargement( could easily set the screen ration of the copying process either 50% to around 200%)The only con which i found in this printer so far is the absence of duplex printing feature (2 sided printing at the same time)..In overall i would definitely recommend this to any one looking for a home printer which could produce cheap prints..You can simply purchase it without even thinking...Because, that's the level of trust Canon is offering here... I'm Completely Satisfied... :)

This printer is of good quality. I just started using the printer. I haven't used a lazer printer before expect at office. Compared to the office printer it works perfectly fine. Good print quality. Scanning is not upto the mark compared to an inkjet i had. But for a low cost printer like this and multi function it is good. I haven't yet copied any document but still. I expect a good quality on that too.Overall this is a printer which can be used at home. I would not recommend this for rough use.

Very good

Works very well, but every year it gives error 202. If scanner doesnt work, printer cannot be used. Wasted Rs 4000 for repair of scanner and now again it shws same error.Therefore giving one star. Scanner and printer should be independent. If one fails, other should work.

Very good product printer speed is very fast and installation was on time.

Good condition

Good product easy to use
