Scanning software interface (ran from inside Photoshop 'File > Import > Canon MP210', output directly to a new document):ĭownload a PC Magazine cover scanned at 600dpi un-resized and un-edited (4796圆441 - 14.6 MB): This is a glossy print from the MP210 at the highest quality settings, and rescanned at 1200dpi using the MP210 too:įor the scanner: Nothing fancy, the scanning quality is great and I have nothing to complain about. I tried also to print a photo on a Canon glossy paper and I must say that I didn't expect a $65 printer to provide such a great output quality! I'd say it's a lab quality photo print if I like to stretch things up, but to be exact, very near to it! Device takes some time to startup, around 20-30 seconds.įor the printer: I'm very impressed, the print/color quality is much better than my old one (HP Deskjet 3845). Printing noise is in the normal range but the scanner is noisy while previewing (though it's fast). It has a feature called 'Quiet Mode' which allows to reduce operating noise for night or silent operation. The printers comes with small capacity cartridges, but it can take the larger ones (PG-40 for black and CL-41 for color). The installation process was straightforward and trouble free.

My PC runs Windows Vista SP1 RC 64-bit which may be a challenge to some printers but it's not the case for relatively new ones and the MP210 was no exception, though I didn't check the installation CD and grabbed the drivers off Canon website. It was easy, you take it out of the box (duh!), install the cartridges using the very simple instructions printed on the device body, install the drivers then connect the cables and you're ready to go.

Pixima MP210 All-in-one inkjet printer.

don't matter to me because I wont use it, so reading reviews and asking friends and here on Neowin I felt like the Canon MP210 is the one to get at the $65 mark for an All-in-one device. Features like built in memory reader or large LCD etc. My main concern in a printer is the output quality and price. I was in the market for a printer to replace my old HP Deskjet 3845, its ink was empty so I thought it's wise to add a few $$ and get a newer/better one specially as I needed a new scanner too.
