well i know this may not be too helpful but i have just had to use the canon i350 owned by hte person living in the room opposite me after my ink ran out on my epson after ignoring the low ink warnings (stupid me) and needing somethjing printing for the morning. well back to what im on about, the quatity is crisp and it printed very quickly on standard mode. so having had my life saved by an i350 and its owner i cant sing its praises highly enough!
