Canon PIXMA MX870 review

Can this new multifunction device continue Canon's recent run of successful printers?

Stellar print engine ; Packed with features ; Easy to operate

A little bulky

A brilliant machine. Print quality is excellent and speed is acceptable

Canon MX870 All In One

This black and grey Multi Function unit (it has Fax) from Canon is both easy to use while allowing the more experienced user to get more out of it with ease. My only doubt is how many people today still require the fax function.

A nice efficient unit that can run a small office, having four colours and a larger black cartridge means costs should not be too high. So no replacing of a whole cartridge when a single colour expires. This is certainly a unit for a short list
