Canon Pixma MG8250 multi-function inkjet printer-scanner

 

Lots of extras and a beautiful design too

Excellent print quality; wireless printing; disc printing; twin paper trays; good touch-sensitive controls

No high-yield cartridges

Just about everything you could want in a home all-in-one printer, from good quality prints and scans to responsive touch controls

Canon Pixma MG8250 review

 

It's fairly expensive to buy and its running costs aren't cheap, but the Canon MG8250 prints superb quality text, graphics and photos at a rapid pace.

Superb text, graphics and photo results ; Fast print speeds ; Duplex printing ; Wi-Fi and Ethernet support

Expensive ; High running costs

The MG8250 is far from the cheapest printer to buy or to run but it does produce superb print quality across text, graphics and photos. Its print speeds are among the fastest in the business. Add in a great line-up of features and you've got yourself a...

Canon All-in-One MG8250 : Canon Pixma MG8250

 

The Canon Pixma MG8250 is a sleek black unit that will look good in any office. I fear however it will need to be discretely placed in most homes unless the ‘lounge police' are of Goff persuasion. It is a lovely six ink offering that prints, scans and...

When closed it is 44.5x38x18cm, double the last figure the height if you have A4 paper in the rear photo printing recess. Add 11cm to the middle figure the depth when the paper output tray opens automatically for printing. The overall weight is...

Although a good product in respect of photo quality I was amazed to find its lack of Canon RAW image support. It would not recognise the RAW images on the CF card I inserted. The multitude of software that came with the printer would not handle RAW...

Does the job

 

Bought this printer after reading the reviews, I wanted a new printer with air print, my old printer was about 9 years old, canon i865 and has done a good job until now, but as I am now using Apple kit it made sense to have air print, I hope it gives...

Excellent Printer very pleased

 

I bought this printer to replace my ageing Epson all in one. I was impressed at how easy the wireless access was to set up. I simply pressed one button on the printer and one button on my wireless router and that was it! I found the rest of the setup...

good printer

 

This is a nice printer with good print quality and facilities, wifi works great with iphone and ipad and connects everything with a wireless connection with easy set up. I would have gave full marks but the build quality should be a much higher grade...
