I am a graphic designer/art teacher as well as small business owner. In my studio, I have on hand 3 printers at a time with each one having their own purpose. My outdated HP wide format printer wouldn't work on my newer OS for Mac so I bought this one to replace it. So nice to use on all computers vs. just one.Here are the reasons I purchased this printer:1. This printer has a SMALL footprint compared to other wide format printers. It's also lightweight. I can't believe the people whining about how big it is?? Trust me. The footprint is small for a wide format.2. The top loading feature allows for thicker types of paper to be used WITHOUT curling the paper as it passes through comapred to the "U" shaped route of other printers loading from a bottom tray.3. The trays fold completely flat and it looks neat when not in use.4. The output tray is nicely stored INSIDE the machine so that it can't be knocked while on your workspace when not in use.5. It has CMYK tanks that can be individually replaced (or refilled).6. It was on SALE with a rebate.7. I saved an extra $50 for recycling the old cruddy HP printer. :)8. It's quiet and fast on the standard setting. 9. The resolution is fantastic! Even at lower settings.10. It has a standard plug...(I live in an old house and it doesn't require an adapter for the outlet AND fits right in a surge strip with bulky plugs next to it.)

I am quite disappointed in this printer. I bought it knowing the photo prints would not be spectacular, but I didn't expect to be this disappointed in the color and the lack of clarity. I used the soft ware that came with it to make adjustments but have yet to get it right. Each time I think I have it right it still prints quit different then expected. ie too dark or too yellow or lacking in clarity. I had an HP wide format photo printer that I was able to get really good prints from, but it started turning off on its own to the point of not working at all. There was no fixing it. After much research, making comparisons and reading of reviews, I was confident this Canon would fit my needs, not so :( I'm going to my local store to see if they have any suggestions ( I got the protection plan)perhaps there is a defect

        Comments about Canon� PIXMA� iX6520 Inkjet Business Printer:

        This printer is very basic and does the one thing I need it to do, print pictures. I have an all in one to do everything else. The photo quality is great and it is very fast on the high quality setting. Setting up for different size paper takes less than 5 seconds and it always feeds straight. The ink wells last a long time and are available at my local stores. This unit is almost twice as wide as my all in one but it needs it for the large 19X13 paper. The printer works well with my Mac computer and Aperture software to size photos and print any size borders or none at all. When you hit the review button you get exactly what is shown, not like others I have tried. If you like to print quality large photos at home this one is a great choice.

          Comments about Canon� PIXMA� iX6520 Inkjet Business Printer:

          don't have much time for this, so ... as a semi-pro photographer and advanced amateur printer, i find it's really great as a color glossy printer and probably should be sold as such. it's also strong as a matte paper printer (on a fairly expensive paper) ... though some have had concerns about a lack of sharpness, my matte B&W print was quite crisp. you kind of have to be careful in setting up your image, and paper choice is critical, i'm sure. i have not printed a 13x19 size piece yet.
          altogether, it seems i've got a photo-capable 13x19 printer at a great price, and that's what i bought it mostly for. it does just fine on letters and the other printing needs also.

            I had an HP 7000 Wide Format printer, and hated it. It took forever to clean the heads before it would start printing and it was noisy. The driver software loved to argue about margins. It had a lot of difficulty just feeding paper. Plain paper; nothing fancy. I replaced it with the Canon iX6520 and couldn't be happier; this printer is excellent! Quiet, fast and prints within 1/4" of borders with no hassle. Very clear instructions make it easy to set up. This is a great printer!
