Canon Pixma MP600

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...

Review of Canon PIXMA MP 600

Canon Pixma MP600 Printer

Advantages: Very Multifunctional
Disadvantages: Cost of replacement cartridges

...The Pixma MP600 is a very versatile printer: It really is a multi purpose printer, giving you plenty of useful functions. The Operation Panel, which is found at the front of the printer and has a small 6.3cm TFT screen, enables you to quickly see what task you want to tackle and has an easy - scroll wheel which takes you from one action to the next ie. scan, print, maintenance etc. It opens with a home screen and as you turn the wheel, moves you into the next mode. Select Memory Card and the mode screen appears. When selecting the mode and pressing the function button, the instructions for the selected mode are displayed. Copying: Load the page you wish to copy, select copy on the home screen (make sure the paper is loaded) - you can specify the page size, media type and any other settings you need to set up, there is...

Review of Canon PIXMA MP 600

Canon MP 460 printer

Advantages: cheap
Disadvantages: poor photo prints

...to print over 50 different photos. All of them were left looking like everyone had freckels and skin tones were next to useless. Definatly not ones you want to show anyone. Even when put through a cleaning cycle there was no difference. On the bright side, when you printed text using only black ink it was crisp and very clear right down to no 8 font size. Apart from the nice looking screen area it has nothing to excite me. After using the machine for a week I have took it back to the shop, why, because of the banding, lack of colour depth and a sqeek on the slide rail when the cartridges are going across. So not really impressed with this one. I would stay clear and pay more for a good printer. Canon has failed on this one I think....

Review of Canon Pixma MP460

  Canon Pixma mp 460 - Fantastic all in one

Advantages: lcd display, durability, optional Bluetooth connection, qualitys, speed, design, functionality, rich software, reliability
Disadvantages: could be litle smaller

.... Just think for a second and ask yourself a question. How would it be to have a scanner, printer and photocopy machine in one device? I had like this about year ago and it is not comfortable. You occupy only USB ports, have more cables behind and less room for anything on a desk. Cannon came across with Pixma mp460. This quite medium sizes device is brilliant and quality breath taking. Printed a number of pictures with it on an Ilford glossy photo paper and could not believe that they look so great. Printed previously some pictures from Snappy Snaps and there was absolutely no difference. First what I can truly tell is that all information's I give you come from my experience only. I own this device so my review is going to be as close to reality as only possible. I have got it 9 months already. Let's start. Display Very...

Review of Canon Pixma MP460

Canon mp220 - good printer but unreliable

Advantages: 3 functions, borderless printing
Disadvantages: unreliable and not durable

...was decent - the ability to scan and photocopy as well as print was a bonus. The quality of prints was good although not excellent as far as photo quality is concerned. The MP220 was also capable of borderless printing which is an advantage that many other printers do not have. The printer takes one colour cartridge and one black one (the numbers 40 and 41 are the high capacity cartridges). All in all although when the printer worked it was half decent, the reliability and durability issues make it, in my opinion, not a worthwhile purchase....

Review of Canon MP220

Canon MP610 multifunction printer

Advantages: No seperate scanner unit. Seperate ink cartridges.
Disadvantages: you have buy your own bluetooth dongle.

...the ink cartridges. You could say the lid is in two parts. The first one is for the scanner, then the next part is to see inside the unit where the ink goes. With a lot of Canon printers, you have to fit a Printhead first. With the MP610 its no different. When you open the lid the printhead holder moves into the middle. The printhead fits in easily and locks down with a firm clunk of a little leaver. This cartridge is marked with the colours of the ink. They are easily fitted in and lock into place with a little plastic tag on the front of the cartridge. Thats that as far as they are concerned. Next you need to align the printer cartridges up. Canon supply you with the paper to do this. You can use either the screen on the printer to set it away or the onscreen menu on the computer. Either way the outcome is the same. It took approx...

Review of Canon MP610

Canon MP450

Advantages: good quality, value for money, variety of functions
Disadvantages: difficult recharging

...on the computer. Another function that is unique in this class of price is Infrared which helps you to print pictures directly from your mobile phone. Just amazing! The integrated scanner does good quality pictures being useful when you less expect this. I highly recommend you to buy a multifunction printer instead of a simple one as the price difference is really small for it's functionality. In my case printing so many pages a month supposes that I would have to change the ink cartridge every single month. This would cost me a fortune :) Instead, I am recharging them using ink and a syringe. Compared to my old Canon iP 1000 the process is more complicated and I get my hand dirty each time. As a conclusion I would like to underline that this printer is perfect if you intend to print at least 20-30 photos a month. Otherwise, the price...

Review of Canon MP450

Canon Pixma MP190 Good value, decent Printer

Advantages: Very good price, good print quality
Disadvantages: Does not come with USB cable to connect to computer.

...I have just bought and finished installing this printer, so I have decided to share my views on it. I bought it at the local Tesco Extra, after some research I found that they offered it at the lowest price, at £30. I also got 10% as they only had the display one left in store. However, as I bought it in store I did not get free delivery and had to carry it the 2 miles home, something I wont recommend if your arms get tired easily. It comes in a large box, and is well packaged so it does not rattle about in the box. You are provided with the Pixma MP190 printer, 2 ink cartridges (one black and one colour), setup CD-ROM, Printed documents and a power cord. You will need to buy a separate USB cable to connect the printer to your laptop or PC, something I found out to my annoyance after carrying it all the way home and excited to get...

Review of Canon Pixma MP190

Canon MP620 All in one Printer

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...

Review of Canon MP620

Canon Mp180

Advantages: Brilliant printing and scanning!!
Disadvantages: None!

...This printer is excellent. It can be used with your computer or laptop and also works as a stand alone printer. The Printer also works with memory cards, from your camera or mobile phone. There is a selection of buttons on the front of the printer. Two of them are so you can use the printer on its own; you can scan a document or photo and print it straight off- in either black and white or colour by simply pressing one of these buttons. It also has menu buttons so you can change some of the settings. You can use glossy paper or normal and the print is perfect. The whole thing is very easy to set up and cartridges are easy to install. Make sure you buy an extra USB cable as you may need one- The one I bought was from Argos and it didn't come with one. I use compatible cartridges which work fine- but you can buy the Canon ones for around...
