Canon PIXMA MP530

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...

Pros: All features but ink usage.

Cons: Ink usage, a big negative! Costs a ton!

The Bottom Line: Do not buy unless you have a lot to spend during normal no color usage.

Review: This is a good printer, especially the duplex printing function. That function is great, save paper, can do lots of good stuff with it.

However! Ink usage destroys all the good. Why? Have no idea why the engineers decided to do it this way...

Pros: flexible, easy to use, functions works well

Cons: paper loading problem, quiet bit noisy

The Bottom Line: I would recommend this printer because it has several functions that are very easy to use.

Review: I got this printer for gift and now own it about four months and have used it for copying, printing, and scanning. I have not used it to print pictures yet.

It was easy to install although it took about 10 minutes. I mainly use it for...

Pros: Seemed good until terrible design flaw revealed

Cons: Small problem with color ink makes unit useless for scan, fax, black&white printing

The Bottom Line: Not recommended: a small color ink problem makes the machine useless for scanning, faxing, black&white printing

Review: I was happy with my machine until a small problem revealed a catastrophic design flaw. Had I known, I would never have bought it. Please consider this before buying! Canon should be embarrassed about putting out a product with this flaw.

I...

Pros: Great specs

Cons: Ink cartridges have bad chipsets, causing ALL functions of the unit to fail.

The Bottom Line: Unless Canon re-engineers the chipset on the ink cartridges so that they are reliable, avoid this AIO. If the cart problem were fixed, it would be a great little unit.

Review: This AIO has a lot of nice features, particularly duplex printing. Unfortunately, I have had nothing but problems with the ink carts. Less than a month after purchase, an error message said the cyan cart was bad. And sometimes it said I had two cyan...

Pros: Very good color printing and customer service

Cons: One of the worst user interfaces imaginable.

Review: This was the most difficult to use fax machine I have ever had. There are menus that go too deep and are not intuitive. Even reading the manual I cannot always send or receive a fax.

Customer service is very good. The original yellow ink...

Pros: A lot of machine for the money. Good quality results!

Cons: Big and a tad noisy. No USB cable included.

The Bottom Line: A nice, complete multifunction machine at a reasonable price. A bit bulky and noisy - but it does it all!

Review: Recently, the HP T45 Multifunction machine that I had relied on for many (7) years, began to make the death rattles and errors associated with imminent demise. Also, since it hasn t been made for many years, the ink cartridges were becoming a bit of...

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...

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...

Pros: High quality printing with multipage copy and fax feeders. Great price

Cons: None

Review: I have been impressed with the speed of this multifunction system. Excellent photo printing. Fast copy process with multipage feeder. I purchased at Amazon for $160
