I don't need this to print photos - is this a good choice for color images/web pages, etc.?

excellent choice. I use it for photos, making greeting cards, and copies. Actually, I try tofind CL-51 .....same ink, larger quantity, so I don't have to change cartridges as often. I also would like to mention that a cartridge should NOT be removed until your replacement is ready to be installed as the spout should never be allowed to dry! I have been amazed at how many people are unaware of this, and actually remove a cartridge to bring to a store for identifying another purchase or for exchange! It can ruin your printer's quality!

I am very happy with this printer. When they refer to subpar for photo and graphics, they are comparing it to ink jet quality especially for photos. For general use and office it is very acceptable. The average person will be quite satisfied.this is not meant for professional graphics use. I recommend you go to a retail store and check out some sample print outs. That's the only way to know for sure. All I can say is that I am quite satisfied.

Yes and no. It is the only paper I use for everyday use. It has Colorlok, which makes it usable for photos, but it is not photo paper. Though I do use it for photos and they are usable prints, for general use. Example, pic of a neighbors yard, to show to your Association Board and not waste, Premium Photo Paper. You are not going to have a high gloss photo, as you would with HP Premium Photo Paper, High Gloss.

Matthew, I use it only for a few limited features. I cannot comment on that feature. I use it to print on DVD & CD'r's exclusively. I think the answer is no though. Sorry!

I only use this ink for business paperwork which works great - unsure of photo quality

I've never used mine to print photos, but it seems like the same quality as name brand for regular color printing.

No i'm using it for a webcam. I don't see why it wouldn't work for a printer.

I have never printed photos personally. I am sure that it will print them, but I would not expect high quality photos.

I have a Canon MG5220 inkjet printer and the image quality is fine. However, if you're looking for stunning photo-quality prints, I'd suggest picking up actual photo paper (my preference is glossy).

I have not tried it for that. Honestly, I was very disappointed with the poor resolution when I printed a folded full card that I have not used it since. My intent was to create the cards and then send to UPS for professional color printing on card stock. The cards printed that way are only about $1.50 each so I thought it was a great alternative... but the quality just was not there... the wording was not crisp but rather blurred.

I have printed photos up to 8x10 on glossy photo paper and I am happy with all my results. This printer does a fine job printing normal photos. It is not a professional printer, and unless your a professional photographer doing print work for money, you should be more than happy with this printer.

I use Photoshop CC and it works very well. Just remember to turn of the printer color management and let "Photoshop determines color" control the color. I do not use Photoshop Elements.

I've never used it on photo's but I'm guessing that it would not be ideal. I use this printer as my everyday printer for color and black and white.

Honestly, I haven't used it for photos, but it prints all other color items on 8x10 so I don't know why it wouldn't

It has been working fine for me. I have printed photos also. No issues. The color quality on paper is not as brilliant, but it is a small price to pay with the savings you get

ive only used it briefly,only for documents and based on that I don't think it would be good for pictures. I do need to try photos

The 500 prints 1200dpi so if you have the depth of field and your software can handle it, you should be able to print as "photoy" as any printer out there. Be sure to use very bright paper and maybe even consider sheets with a semi-gloss finish.
