Canon 120

Advantages: High quality printing, quiet and looks good
Disadvantages: Expensive ink, as always

...ugly in an industrial way but that was a popular style a few years back. It produced pretty good document and photo prints and the scanner was adequate for documents but not of a standard to copy photos. When coming to choose a new printer these were the characteristics I was interested in. It had to print to a high standard, the scanner needed to be better and I didn't want it to look like an ugly lump of corporate kit with attachments falling off all the time. Despite painfully setting up the fax functionality first time round I have never received or sent a fax using the HP, in fact I don't think I've faxed anything this century so that functionality was dispensable. At a snifter under £100 the Canon Pixma MP600 packs a lot of quality into an attractively designed package. Ignoring any pointless fax functionality it concentrates... Read review

Advantages: Print quality is good and price also reasonable
Disadvantages: Reliability wise I'm not sure about canon printers

...I have just brought this Canon Pixma MP140 printer for my own usage because it has got a patented print head technology that can create beautiful and long-lasting photos up to 100 years. We may not be there to see after 100 years but it is good to have a photos of long lasting. This printer cost is reasonable than HP printer. HP also has a B+ size printer available in market, its print quality will lost for 200 years but its cost is too high so I brought Canon printer. My personal experience with this printer print quality is very clear and even scanning quality also very good but reliability wise I'm not sure because first time I'm buying canon product. Let me see how long this printer gives good quality print outs without any problem.... Read review

Advantages: Excellent Phot prints, excellent scanning, wireless capability
Disadvantages: Slightly bulky, wireless can be tricky to set up

...I bought this printer a few months ago to replace an old hp all in one which had lasted for a long time and sadly the print quality had diminished. With a large amount of options on the market I shopped around and came across the Canon MP620. It seemed to have all the features I was after including scanning, printing, card reader, photocopyer and wireless networking. Please note there are 2 other similar models in the range and as far as I know the MP610 is older and not wireless but slightly cheaper. Alternatively the MP630, which is more expensive is also not wireless but is faster in producing more prints per minute. So far, since using it I can report that the MP620 is an excellent all round printer. Great quality prints and excellent scanning makes it perfect for my needs. The wireless networking took a little time to setup... Read review
