Title: Mixed feelings
Product review: We have used the Pixma MP 160 for about 2 to 2 1/2 years. The only problems I have found with it is that the ink cartridges cannot be refilled and the ink could hardly be called inexpensive. My wife is a Kindergarten teacher and prints a lot of material on the printer at our expense. The 2nd problem will discourage me from buying Canon again. The part that is called an ink absorber wipes clean the ink cartridge heads has become full of ink and the printer smudges or streaks all the papers. The fix for this? Take it to a Canon authorized dealer and pay more than the printer was worth new to have it cleaned or replaced. That is ridiculous. They should have engineered it so that the consumer could have cleaned or replaced that part. I really hate to think about this going to the dump because of a piece of sponge but a lot of time and research has resulted in few answers.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
