We purchased this printer in Oct or Nov 2019, It has performed flawlessly through about 10 reams of paper since then. About a third were color. On photo paper, the color results are better than expected, good enough for snapshots and other less demanding photographic work. The text is very clear on normal plain paper and color backgrounds, text, etc reproduce well on plain paper also. We could not be more satisfied with our purchase which replaced an "ancient" Brother B&W laser printer. This Canon model is just what we needed!

Worse printer I've ever had. Color is awful and never worked well from the day I bought it. Toner is so overpriced and doesn't last as long as the ink jets. The scanner works well. The printer won't allow just black and white printing without having to use EVERY color cartridge so they can rip you off for the high prices ink.

This is my first business laser printer. I personally have had issues with printing over a network. The software is quirky, sometimes doesn't work. The scan feature gives me crooked printouts through the feeder. The Canon ink is very expensive, almost the cost of replacing the printer. All in all, I can live with the printer, but I do a lot of problem solving trying to address the network and scan issues.

It seems Canon has produced a printer of such poor quality that it should have it's own classification in the Product Hall of Shame. Nothing works easily and print quality is terrible. If you are considering this printer ... save yourself nothing but headaches and heartaches, do not buy it!

I received this product in exchange for my unbiased opinion. ASSEMBLY: Easy, nothing to it, the unit comes out of the box ready to go, just connect a few cables. The machine is heavy, much heavier than other all-in-ones that I have owned. Hopefully, that heft makes for a better-quality machine and it only takes up slightly more space than other all-in-ones that I have had. Nice footprint. SETUP: The printer was relatively easy to get up and running with the most basic of settings. The touchscreen operation is easy and nicely customizable. The manual that comes inside the box is only for basic setup and while it doesn't have the clearest instructions, it did help me get the basic setup accomplished pretty quickly. Setting up more advanced features like scanning was mildly confusing. I assumed there would be a downloadable User's Manual; mine did not come with that; there was a folder called Manuals but no User's Guide in it. It did contain a “Send Guide” expressly for configuring scan settings only, which was clearer than the Guide that they have online at their website, but ultimately I was not successful in setting up the scan configuration; probably user error/my fault and not theirs. QUALITY & RELIABILITY: The paper tray is an average size, holding about 200-250 pages. After printing about 20 color pages, the blue cartridge was already at 20% which was disappointing. The print quality is good, comparable to others I've had when the source is digital. But when it copies the same material, it loses detail. For example, I printed a small map from my laptop and it came out great, but when I put that same map through the feeder to be copied, many of the fine lines and divisions were lost. That is a significant detractor in my opinion. It is faster at printing than others I've had, especially when printing double-sided – in this regard the machine's ability is excellent. Overall it seems like a solid machine for home use but lacking the fine detail in copying, I probably wouldn't recommend it for business use.

I had high hopes for this printer, however, I'm about to return it because of a paper feed error that prevents the printer from working. Out of about 10 attempts, I only was able to successfully print one document within the first week of having it. UX of touch screen leaves something to be desired too. Errors are cryptic and don't leave user with any solutions for fixing. All around bad product. Do not purchase.

The unit worked for a couple of weeks and of course now it's having connection problems, doesn't scan, and doesn't copy. I have to go into the office just to print now. I have to uninstall and reinstall the driver once every week. The biggest waste of money ever.

I bought the MF644Cdw today for home use. Between my wife and I, we do minimal printing, copying, and scanning, but always longed for a reliable, quality printer. Setup was a breeze; wireless connection via WPS was easy. The articulating 5inch touchscreen is very intuitive and it seamlessly walks you through the installation process. However, the Canon MF Scan Utility software installed in the computer leaves much to be desired. The utility's interface is still stuck in the 20th century and does not complement the printer. Overall, the printer excels in form and function. I highly recommend this printer.

Just got the printer and set it up in relatively short time. Tried printing one page and scanning a page. Everything works so far, and it connected wirelessly to my network. I just had this long white plastic piece left over that I cannot figure out. I have no idea what it is for or where it goes.Maybe some day, I will figure it out. But it seems to work without it.

Ever since I got this printer it hasn't worked right. The quality of the document or picture isn't very well. Of course, I am no expert on printers but I have worked with a few in my 50 years and this one I would not purchase again. The system is too complicated and the screen is too hard to maneuver.
