my new printer : pixma MG3170

Just bought myself a new Canon Pixma printer over the weekends. I'm kinda late, bcos I had these photos taken on Sunday. 

Anyway, did my test prints by printing out the London Tube lines on Sunday. Didn't go well at the beginning — printing kept stopping mid-way. I had to re-install the drivers, re-hook up the whole system. It took me awhile to get it working well. 

The efforts turned out to be well worth it. I did an A4 borderless print, and, boy does it look good. I actually printed my End of Year Show book with this printer. Down side of this printer: there's only two cartridges, one for Black and the other for colour, which isn't a good thing especially when you run out of one color. The air-print doesn't seem to work properly, I could check my settings but I figured that it could possibly due to the printer having lack the "Wifi Ready" feature? 

Oh well, for SGD$139, this printer is satisfactory.
