Strengths: Multifunctional, advanced connectivity, speed, quality, five-colour ink system, Automatic Document Feeder

Weaknesses: Bulky, occupies a lot space

The multifunctional Canon MX850 printer can also fax, copy and scan. The resolution ranges to a maximum of 9600 x 2400 dpi that offers great clarity. Quick and fast, it takes only about 21 seconds for a photo lab quality print. It has a regular printing speed of up to 31ppm for black and up to 24ppm for colour prints. In the case of bulk printing it slows down even further. The copied prints look as remarkable as original, while the scanning outputs are also equally good. The 5-colour ink system produces exceptionally high quality photos and laser-quality text.

The built-in Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) can hold up to 35 originals. As it is equipped with automatic duplexing, it’ll also help to save time and paper. For printing exceptional photos it has a built-in Auto Image Fix. This feature classifies the photos into one of five different types and automatically adjusts and applies image correction techniques. The Canon PictBridge feature allows you to print photos directly from the digital camera. The memory card reader can be used to print images directly from the memory card.

Another amazing feature of the Canon MX850 printer is its Ethernet interface. The BU-30 Bluetooth interface present lets you print wirelessly from your PC or PDA quickly and easily. Apart from being multifunctional, it also works as a stand-alone device using the 2.5 inch TFT screen and control panel keys. The navigation buttons are straightforward and easy-to-use.

In a nut shell, this printer is loaded with functions that are appropriate for both home and office use. The only downside is that it will occupy a lot of space.
