It concentrates three functions in the space where I once had just a printer. No more chasing around for copies of documents.
-
The installation instructions are a little difficult to understand (print is very small)nbut once it was done, seemed relatively easy leaving you wondering why you were tearing your hair out at one stage.

It's compact. The extending bits pack away neatly. Print is good, although machine a little noisy, but I can live with that. I would prefer a paper tray inside the machine but I guess that would make it very much more expensive.

paper can go slighty off to one side at times but this does not affect the printing,
can at times be very slightly grainey and doesn't come with a usb cable to connect to laptop/pc but these are easy to pick up for a pound at hardware stores and supermarkets.

Multi-colour cartridge rather than individual ink tanks. Cartridges with print heads attached to cartridge rather than integral with printer. The pixma 2500 (which I also use) has a much more satisfactory system. The printer requires a USB cable and this was not supplied with the package. This proved particularly irritating to me as I had material which I wanted urgently to download and I was held up for three valuable days. I thought this omission of a vital piece of equipment rather mean. I would have happily paid an extra pound or so to have had one included.

Manufacturer's Description
Affordable All-In-One productivity with style and quality.
Compact, affordable and easy-to-use All-In-One with Canon’s unique FINE technology – high-quality images and superb functionality, every time.
Photo and document printing
Enjoy bright and vibrant photo prints, with ink droplets as tiny as 2pl delivering smooth gradations and fine detail. A maximum resolution of 4800×1200dpi* is achievable and a photolab-quality print can be produced in approximately 70 seconds*. The ChromaLife100 system** combines the PIXMA MP190, genuine Canon FINE Cartridges and a selection of Canon photo papers to create beautiful, long-lasting photos.
Two FINE Cartridges are used. A black cartridge contains pigment ink for crisp, sharp text printing. Secondly, colour dye-based inks are ideal for graphics and images, delivering glossy photo prints.
Copying
The combination of scanner and printer enables you to create high-quality, vibrant copies without the need for a PC.
Scanning
The 600dpi resolution flatbed scanner provides superb colour scans. It is possible to scan different size documents or photos with good quality. The scan to PDF function is a quick and easy solution for creating electronic versions of paper documents.
Image manipulation
Canon’s Easy-PhotoPrint EX software has been included to make correcting and enhancing your photos straightforward and intuitive. You can remove red-eye from your digital images, and Auto Image Fix ensures great results when printing.
Ease of use
The potential of the All-In-One is maximised thanks to the inclusion of a Quick Start function. Users have access to all the major features within a few seconds from turning the PIXMA MP190 on.
Operating system
Windows and Mac OS X compatible*
