Canon's S600 produces decent text, with clean, solid blacks and graceful italics. Narrow parallel lines also print reasonably well, a real challenge for most ink jets. Another attraction is this printer's reasonable ink costs, which we figure to be only 2 cents per page for black text and 13.6 cents per page for color graphics.
Graphics print slowly.
The S600's text speed of 3.9 ppm is average for the ink jets we've tested. Its photo prints look rich and realistic but have a rather red cast.
