Anita, Gillingham Kent , “avid crafter & scrapbooker.”

Score 10.0/10

+ the MP630 is brilliant, the Quality of the photos i have just printed (all 300 of them) is excellent,even on the heaviest glossy photo card available, the MP630 not only does all thicknesses of card, but also does borderless printing, which my old printer would not.

- so far found it very hard to find anywhere that actually sells the inks, have had to buy on-line and am still waiting for them.

Score 9.0/10

+ Amazing print quality, great at feeding thicker paper and card and very fast at printing.

- Hard work to calibrate with my Mac to get the correct colours, as it had a very orange hue to it. Takes a while to warm up!

Alan, Lincs

Score 9.0/10

+ Generally good print and scanner performance, fairly easy on the eye as far as can be expected.
Recommended. Good value as an all round printer/scanner. Duplex/CD printing useful.

- Software can be a bit awkward, things have to be done in a certain order, but it gets easier with practice.
Paper selection can have a big effect on print quality, may need to experiment. Good results if care taken.

Alan, Rickmansworth

Score 9.0/10

+ Speed of printing. Quality of photo prints. Very quiet. Good compatibility with other machines - PC, camera, mobile. Smart looking machine.

- Size - you need some room to fit it on your desk. Cost of ink - but this is much the same with other machines and actually works out cheaper per print than most.

Lee, Edinburgh

Score 10.0/10

+ Excellent print quality for the price. Can't fault it. We bought this to use in creating our wedding stationary and have been able to print high quality on 300+gsm paper/card without issues. I spent a lot of time trying to decide between this model and the top of the range model, in the end it was the cost difference that swung it and I certainly have no regrets.

- Very minor - no wireless option for everyday use.

Mark, Wigan , “Experienced chartered engineer.”

Score 9.0/10

+ Very good help systems and internal software - printing onto CDs and DVDs is made extremely easy, built in screen is very helpful. Excellent photo print quality. Easy to install and use. Attractive, "smart" styling.

- A little heavy on ink use. Shows a preference for (expensive) Canon brand papers - delivers excellent results with its own brand papers but needs individual evaluation with other brands. That said it is an inkjet printer - not a laser.

Ronald, Kilsyth , “I wanted the best.”

Score 9.0/10

+ Good looking unit. Customer friendly. Produces best results when photos printed on Canon print paper, the results on other manufacturers paper is still good.

- Feel it is a bit slow when preparing itself to print. My old printer (Canon MP360) does not feel as long preparing itself.

+ The camera is very easy to use. It takes very good photographs of a high quality. I like the way it can be charged by your pc or laptop as well as by a socket. Small enough to fit in any handbag or pocket. The battery life is very log.

- In bad light the shutter speed is alittle slow but photo's are still ok.

Printers Buying Guide  

Manufacturer's Description

Fast and feature-packed home printing for creative users

Premium All-In-One with 1pl, 9600dpi* print engine for superior-quality photos and documents. Includes advanced media handling features for digital photographers, creatives and demanding home users.

Photo and document printing

The PIXMA MP630’s premium 1pl, 9600dpi* FINE print engine produces stunning photolab-quality images, with a 10×15 borderless photo taking approximately 20 seconds*. 1pl ink droplets using new dye-based Single Inks – including a ‘Photo Black’ tank – deliver prints with smooth tonal gradations, high contrast and exceptional detail.

The ChromaLife100+ system** is a combination of the PIXMA MP630, Canon original inks and certain Canon genuine photo papers. These three unique components create beautiful, long-lasting photo prints.

Print text documents in mono or colour with a pigment black ink to give crisp, sharp text.

Single Inks

Quality and efficiency is maintained through the use of 5 Single Inks – simply replace individual ink tanks when they run out.

Ease of use

The higher-definition 6.2cm colour TFT display makes it fun to browse photos without a PC, and users can view, select, edit and print – all using the Easy-Scroll Wheel. Direct prints are also possible straight from a memory card or PictBridge-compatible digital camera or camcorder. A Quick Start function allows operation within seconds.

Advanced media handling

Personalise your printable CDs and DVDs using the CD-LabelPrint software to create layouts from your text and images. Auto duplex helps to save paper by automatically printing on both sides, while two paper trays mean users can have photo and plain paper loaded at the same time ready for printing.

Scanning

An optical resolution of 4800dpi delivers superb colour scans, with the option of scanning straight to PC, email or PDF. Easy operation is guaranteed using the intuitive MP Navigator EX software, while Auto Scan Mode speeds up the process by choosing the settings based on the type of document or photo you’re scanning. Additional flexibility is offered with the option to scan to memory card or USB stick, so users can easily transport and store scanned images.
