Colin, Holt

+ I found this product to be perfect for everything I wanted to do. Photocopying, printing off pages from yhe website, printing my own documents, scanning photos and also printing them. It is easy to use and in any way complicated. Straight forward set up. Very reasonable price. All in all I am very pleased.

- The only downside, if you can call it a downside, is that it can take a few moments of clunking and whirring before it actually starts printing or copying, and it is a liitle noisy. It really doesn't bother me personally, but I know there are some people out there who have no patience and want things instantly, and with no noise! If you are one of those people I am surprised you are reading this!

+ very easy to set up and use. it looks nice. I like the feature that opens the paper tray automatically if printing remotely, so that you don't have to go and set it up before pressing print. the print quality is pretty good - I use fast print on most things to save ink, and the quality is much better than on my previous (lexmark) all-in-one printer.

- none so far.

+ 1) good printing quality

- 1) Too noisy. My flatmate on the other side of the corridor can hear the sound of the printer.
2) For a big corporation like Canon, giving a free USB cable won't do any harm.

- Not really a bad point just a comparison observation that the ink takes a little longer to dry than more expensive printers, but it's worth waiting just a fraction longer, what you save in the cost of the product can go towards extra cartridges.

Manufacturer's Description

Compact and stylish All-In-One photo printer with PictBridge

Compact All-In-One, ideal for all the family, delivering high-quality photo and document printing, copying and scanning, plus PictBridge for PC-free direct photo printing from compatible cameras.

Photo and document printing

A resolution of up to 4800×1200dpi with tiny ink droplets of 2pl* gives superb-quality images with accurate colour reproduction. It is possible to create a 10×15cm borderless photo in approximately 45 seconds* with the FINE print cartridges.

The ChromaLife100+ system** is a combination of the PIXMA MP240, Canon’s FINE cartridges and certain Canon genuine photo paper. These three unique components create beautiful, long-lasting photo prints.

Two FINE ink cartridges are used, black and colour. The black is pigment ink for crisp, sharp text printing, while the colour dye-based inks are used for graphics and images and enable more glossy photo printing.

Print without a PC

PictBridge technology makes it possible to enjoy your photo prints direct from a camera (mobile phone, camcorder or any PictBridge compatible device) without the need to transfer them to a PC first.

Copying

The combination of scanner and printer enables you to create high-quality, vibrant copies without the need for a PC.

Ease of use

With the Quick Start function you can be confident your PIXMA printer will be operational within seconds, so you can experience Print, Copy and Scan on demand.

For hassle-free printing a self-opening paper tray has been incorporated.

FINE Cartridges deliver great-quality document and photo printing and they also make cartridge replacement easier with one-click installation.

Editing software

A comprehensive and intuitive range of software has been included with this PIXMA product. Canon’s Easy-PhotoPrint EX makes it simple to print calendars, albums and photos, and incorporates the enhanced Auto Photo Fix, which automatically corrects photos – including red-eye correction. Canon’s MP Navigator EX software helps manage and edit scanned images and documents, and includes an OCR function to convert printed text into electronic documents and simple scan to PDF.

Scanning

High-resolution scans that feature incredible detail are possible with the 1200dpi scanner. The Auto Scan Mode adds another practical feature as it automatically senses the type of original that is being scanned – photo or document – and then scans and saves using the most suitable settings.
