What happened?

I plan on taking it back, but thought I'd ask in here first. I just bought this Canon PIXMA iP6700D photo printer. It's 9600x2400, and 1 picoliter (instead of 3 like HP's have) and 6 ink cartridges for more color seperation instead of one black and one with tri-color in 1 cartridge.

So, I inserted two 4x6 papers and neither of those came out borderless like I set the machine to do, and one came out with half the shot missing, (half white at the bottom) the other with about 10% missing on the right side. One of those 2 came out crooked. The part that grabs the paper, grabs too fast and hard - probably why it fed crookedly. Also, it sprayed ink on itself on the inside, mostly on one corner where there's this long strip of gray sponge-like material. I've never seen ink get sprayed on the inside of a machine missing the paper, and it put black marks on the back of the prints, which didn't matter anyway,`cos the prints never came out borderless.

Does this sound like a taker-backer?

The mechanical comment makes me think you might want to take it back.

Agreed. Just wanted to make sure,`cos I thought maybe these higher-end photo pinters will have
complications at first, here and there, and every now and then. The machine spraying ink on itself
on the inside was the worse thing to me. Must have been when it missed most and part of the 4x6 papers.

Thanks!

Well, I returned it and got another one. It seems to be working great. It has printed out pictures better than WalMart, Walgreen's and even a little better than WolfCamera - (the 3 Ws). lol
This model's MSRP was $225. I got it on sale for $159. I wish I had the cash for the Canon Pro9000 for $499 - (8 ink tanks and higher resolution than mine). But I'm happy with this one.:ivar

Cool! Glad to hear it worked for you.
