Canon PIXMA MP470

Pros: Durable,Versatile,Useful Software,Easy Installation,Owner's Manual.

Cons: The ink is not cheap, but it's not the most expensive either.

The Bottom Line: I have no complaints with the Pixma MP470. I would definitely buy another one!

Review: We bought the Canon Pixma MP470 after reading a lot of user reviews. This unit was bought as a replacement for a Canon S300 after it wore out.
We use the MP470 as a printer more than anything. Mostly for documents and some photos. My wife likes...

Pros: Printing is very good, speed of print is good and scan quality is good.

Cons: Sometimes prints the envelopes lop-sided.

The Bottom Line: As I said: very good quality for a good price

Review: I have a print/copy/scan for a good price. I like that! Good for printing coloured and also good for printing photos (you need the right paper).

Pros: Clever flat top adds desk space.

Cons: Expensive ink, poor cartridge life.

Review: In general a good printer. Low price. But ink cost is over the top. I bought the printer for about $90 but a set of cartridges cost $40-$50 and last no time at all. Look out for this one.

Pros: Price

Cons: Cuts off 1 mm of top and side on copies.

Review: I just installed this all in one unit on my new system and I am still learning about it. Have jet to use most of it's functions. First disappointment was in finding that the copier/scanner cuts off 1mm of top and right side. NOT good.

Review: My fiancee and I needed a new printer because ours broke when we moved. (Well... I broke it. It was too old, needed to go.) I always loved Canon printers. I had a BJC-4200 for the longest time because it just worked. So I looked into their...
