Repair still not resolved after 4 weeks
Warranty case Printer fails
was sent from Digitec to D
no solution for 4 weeks.Printer broken after warranty period!
The printer worked great from the start, but after the warranty period it had a technical defect.
Broken 10 days after warranty
I have been very fond of Canon (cameras) so far.
I bought a more expensive single-tank printer so that the ink was cheaper.
It worked well for 2 years and then "suddenly" stopped printing exactly 10 days after the warranty period expired.
Called support, they told me to do a test and then said that the lamp blink test showed that the printer had to be sent in.
I will do this, but the repair is not a goodwill gesture, but at my expense.
If it costs more than CHF 30, then I'll buy a new cheap printer and if it also reaches the planned obsolescence at some point, then it will go straight to the scrap heap and be replaced by a new cheap printer.
The manufacturers have zero interest in environmental protection and saving CO2, otherwise the parts wouldn't break right away.
If that's how they want it, then that's how we'll play the stupid game, and the environment will suffer as a result.
So if you are looking for a printer that lasts 2 years, then ok. If you want it to last longer, get a CHF 40 printer and replace it with the next one when it breaks.
p.s.: By the way, scanning didn't work either, although it has nothing to do with printing! Otherwise you could still use it...Contra

Good printer but not for photography
Contra
- Photo quality
Happy
I am happy with it.
It is a bit noisy but I knew about that from reviews so I cannot really class it as a -ve.
Maybe it is a bit slow but not so much that amateur me would notice or care.
A4 borderless colour prints look really good - again from amateur me.
Tanks - I was getting really fedup with really expensive ink cartridges that always seemed to run out and never fitted the next :-( printer you bought.
