Is anyone familiar with the quality of photographs printed on a Pixma MG7560?

I have a Pixma MG 5220 and the pictures I print are comparable to the ones printed at the local retail labs.
I have been very happy with every Canon printer that I have had in the past.

Many thanks for a very prompt reply. :-)

Why that one?
No particular reason, other than I had a iP4500 for several years and couldn't fault it (until the black stopped printing :-( ) and I'm thinking about going for the Canon brand again.
Sorry no but I use the 9000 Mark II :thumbup:

Few of us have more than one printer. It is hard to judge. Both Canon and Epson make printers that are targeted at those that want photo "prints". They also target those that need multi purpose printers. I don't think the one you've picked is best for photo prints.
I've got a Pixma too and can tell you that you need to print with it at least once a week or the print head(s) might start to dry up.
My question to everyone, I've used Canon ink so far but it's not the cheapest. Can any one recommend a 3rd party ink supply?

I've been using inks from LDproducts.com for several years with good results on PIXMA printers.

I purchased a Deluxe refill kit for my printer from Inkproducts.com. It comes with a chip resetter, new clear ink tanks and 4 oz bottles of the color ink and 8 oz of the pigmented black and syringes. The kit has everything you need to refill the cartridges. THE ONLY THING THAT ISN'T IN THE KIT IS THE CANON CHIPS FOR THE CARTRIDGES. The chips on your current Canon cartridges can be removed and put on the new cartridges so they will work OK in the printer. There are complete instructions in the kit for everything you need to do.
The whole kit ran about $90.00 including shipping. I can refill every cartridge at least 6 times from this kit. As you need more ink, you buy it in 4, 8, or 16 oz bottles and your refill cost per ink cartridge is less than $2.00 from there forward.
Their media in the cartridges does not dry out like the Canon cartridges. I haven't been able to tell any difference in the colors between the refill ink and Canon ink in any of my printing including photos.

I have a Canon Pixma Pro9000, MarkII that makes beautiful prints every time. I do not have any experience with the Pixma MG7560. The Canon inks are very good and long lasting on their Pro Platinum PT-101. Never had a problem so far.

I have the Canon MG6 250 A4 and the ix6550 A3 printers and prints are first class.
The MG6 250 uses 6 cartridges and the ix6550 uses 5 out of the same six - this makes it much more economical, particularly when I can buy on ebay 6 cartridges between £5 and £6.99 for the set.
The MG6 250 is wifi enabled and includes a first class scanner and CD priniting capablity ( which I have never used but could be of interest to some people )
I have had no problems whatsoever with either machine.
I have a related question for those of you that use ink printers. A common statement is "run your printer once a week to keep it from drying out and clogging up".
If you're planing to be away for an extended period (3-4 weeks) what is the procedure?

Print anything - document, photo, test page - nozzles do clog up if printers are left and if they become seriously clogged it is a repair job. For the cost of a few sheets of paper you can save the hassle. Ther is a deep cleaning facility on my Canon printers and that is extremely helpful.
