Canon PIXMA MP530

Pros: Great performance for all functions. Fairly quiet. Excellent value and price. Easy to use.

Cons: None, really none for me.

The Bottom Line: I'd buy it again. It's the best all-around I could find under $500

Review: I've had my Canon Pixma MP530 for a month and love it! I was ready to give up on finding an all-in-one printer under $500 with great performance in all categories. It's awesome for photos too! Each had it's Achilles Heel(s), but the Pixma MP530 had the ...

Pros: Excellent performance. Attractive design. Not too big/heavy. Sturdy construction.

Cons: Not networkable. Only holds 200 pieces of paper.

The Bottom Line: Very good unit and a great value.

Review: Purchased this unit to replace a Brother 4750 fax/copier/printer and an HP Deskjet 895CSE. Spent a lot of time looking at reviews and found that even equipment that was highly rated by professional reviewers often had negative reviews from consumers. I ...

Pros: Duplex capable, dual paper trays, inexpensive to buy and run, good print quality

Cons: No network capabilities

The Bottom Line: Almost perfect printer for the home office or student. All I could ask for would be network capabilities, which can be remedied.

Review: After my Epson CX5400 decided to die on me from a manufacturing defect that they won't own up to (google "Epson CX5400 prints blank pages"), I began my search for a new printer. After much debate, I decided to stay with an inkjet printer for versatility ...

Pros: Ease of use, affordable cartridges, several special copying functions.

Cons: I haven't found any yet!

The Bottom Line: Run out and buy 2. Someday they'll stop making them and you'll want to have a back up for years later when you wear the first one out!

Review: This has been the best printer we've ever owned! I REALLY like it. The duplex printing is very handy, saves on paper. You can also make your own books with the booklet option. Prints quickly, scans quickly, etc. especially for an all-in-one printer ...

Pros: Many features, clear printing, photo printing, fax, copier, flat bed and ADP scanner

Cons: Huge

The Bottom Line: This is a great product and as I mentioned in the review if you want blue tooth functioning get the upgraded model. Otherwise this is wonderful!

Review: I really like this printer. It can be a little hard to figure out which phone line goes where when plugging in the fax line. But, it is not extremely loud although it could be quieter. I like the ADP and the flat bed scanning options. This way if you ...

Pros: Great photos, great documents

Cons: None so far, except it's really big.

The Bottom Line: One of the best printers I have used. I love the photo quality using photo paper. Scanner works great.

Review: I was afraid that by only paying $150 bucks for this unit that the photo printing would be poor, even after researching it and finding other people had great luck with it. WOW! I am impressed. The color saturation is excellent and the color management ...

Pros: Dual paper trays, flatbed and document scanner, 4-in-1

Cons: No USB cable, annoying OEM-ink feature

The Bottom Line: Bulky printer, but bigger is better in this case. This printer has everything you need for the small office (except for card reader).

Review: After my Epson CX5200 broke down, I was looking for an affordable multifunction printer. I came across the Epson CX5000 for $40 that was advertised as being able to print 27 pages per minute, but to my disappointment, the speed was nowhere near what I ...

Pros: features, paper handling, dependability, Price, Price, Price

Cons: won't vacuum your floors???

The Bottom Line: Well, I recommend without reservations based on 20 years of using office quality printers - epson, HP, and Brother

Review: First off let me say I have used office printers for 20+ years, and have owned three HP printers in my home including One Brother, all-in-one (piece of Junk) and one HP all-in-one plus other in an office environment. Trumpets sound here for the Pixma ...

Pros: fast and high quality printing, scanning, copying, faxing, adf, two paper trays

Cons: ink use ridiculously high, ink exorbitantly expensive, no networking

The Bottom Line: Highly recommended, but if you are going to do only black and white printing, go laser.  The ink is just too expensive.

Review: After previously having the old HP cheap all-in-one, the Canon MP530 works like a dream.  Prints clearly and quickly.  Has two paper trays so that I can keep legal and letter sized paper stocked.  I love the automatic document feeder, ...

Pros: Terrific print quality, affordable ink, quiet performance, improved scanning quality.

Cons: The ink is a bit pricier than the older Canons, but still affordable.

Review: This is my second Canon printer in three years, but don't let that scare you. The first one died due to an electrical problem not associated with the machine. I was so happy with the performance of that machine, I knew just what I wanted to replace it ...
