Have been using the i450 for light office use for just over a year. Has printed many pages of research, homework, scouting forms, and some office work. The quality has always been crystal clear, rivaling a laser printer. Photos come out beautifully, although sometimes with a very slight blue tinge (may be due to a camera setting, not necessarily the printer). There is also a difference between Canon ink cartridges and generic replacements, which shows up more in photos than regular printing (color differences, slight clarity issues).
Recently the black ink has become unclear (white streaks, blurry text). Went through trouble shooting options which were very easy to understand. Print head needed to replaced ($45). Installation was not terribly difficult. Print quality returned to original clarity.
