Incredible quality and detail
Canon’s class leading 1pl FINE print engine delivers an astonishing resolution of 9600 x 2400 dpi and a spectacular 20 second 10 x 15cm (4 x 6”) borderless photo print, enabling superior photo-lab quality output at speed. Canon’s High Performance 5 Single Ink System includes two blacks - one for printing crisp laser sharp text, the other for photos to give strong saturated blacks – delivering exceptional quality. The single Ink System also means that, instead of replacing a multi-coloured cartridge and wasting unused ink, you only replace the colour ink tank that runs out, saving you money!
 With Wi-Fi you can print from anywhere in the house or office. Click here for a larger image |
Print from any room in the house
You can print wirelessly from any Wi-Fi enabled computer in your house. The PIXMA MP640 also includes built-in Ethernet - a wired LAN interface that lets you connect seamlessly to a home or office network, so all the computers connected can share the power of PIXMA.
Save paper and be friendly to the environment
Print on both sides of the page without the hassle of turning the page manually using Built-In Auto Duplex Printing. This saves you time, money and paper – plus you’re helping the environment! To add to your options, 2-way paper feeding lets you load paper from the front cassette or rear tray, allowing use of both plain and photo paper at the same time. The printer will intelligently choose the right source for the printing task at hand. Manually switching from one tray to the other is also easy, while the self-operating output tray automatically opens when printing or copying so no more paper jams.
You’re not restricted to printing on paper either as the PIXMA MP640 comes complete with a special tray so you can print directly onto printable DVDs and CDs. This is ideal for small businesses who archive data using CDs/DVDs or use them to promote their services to customers; while at home its perfect for personalising your photo or music collections.
 No need for a computer, print directly using the built in card slots or USB ports. Click here for a larger image |
Smart and simple interface
Don’t feel like using a computer? No problem. Just insert a compatible memory card into the easily accessible built-in card slots or connect via PictBridge to print directly from your digital camera, DV camcorder or camera phone. In addition you can print using the optional BU-30 wireless Bluetooth unit. The huge 7.5cm TFT display screen with Easy-Scroll Wheel lets you easily view, select and edit your images for simple computer-free printing. No downloading needed - just watch a slide show, pick your picture and print! Or maybe you need special paper like music sheets, graph paper or calendars in a hurry? Choose the Template Printing option from the display screen and in seconds you’ll have the type of paper you need to ease all those homework worries.
Automatically scans just about anything
Exceptional high quality 4800dpi scanning is quick, simple and easy with integral Auto Scan Mode. It detects your original - photo, business card or letter – then automatically scans and saves the image with the appropriate settings, all without any prompt from you.
A world of advantages with Canon technology

Automatic correction to make every print perfect
Built-in Auto Photo Fix II technology with Red-Eye Removal and Multi-zone Exposure Correction is perfect for your home photo lab as it automatically fixes your photos at the printer, giving you flawless results without the need for a computer.
Red-eye occurs when using a photographic flash very close to the camera lens (as with most compact cameras) in ambient low light. Based on Canon’s market-leading intelligent camera technology Auto Photo Fix II will remove any red eye from your pictures as well as fix the brightness of unexposed areas of the photo with Multi-zone Exposure Correction. For instance, it will automatically brighten faces that are backlit and under-exposed and ensure more accurate skin tones to help you produce gorgeous images.

Beautiful, long-lasting photos
You can keep your precious photos bright and vibrant with the Canon ChromaLife100+ system. This unique combination of enhanced FINE print head technology and genuine Canon Chromalife 100+ inks with selected Canon photo papers lets you create beautiful photos that will last up to 300 years when stored in an archival-quality photo album.
To achieve the exceptional 9600 x 2400 color dpi resolution, Canon Full-photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering (FINE) uses a patented print head with high precision nozzles, ejecting ink droplets as small as 1 picolitre in size (the smaller the ink drop the better quality the image).
Stylish, compact and tidy
Both the Power cable and USB port are recessed inside the compact, stylish printer body so you can push the machine right back against the wall – saving space and keeping everything neat and tidy.

Wireless
had some issues setting up the wireless on my Mac,
but after downloading the latest drivers from the Canon website - it picked it up straight away.
that was my only frustration & i am so glad it was resolved so easily without the need for cables.
having used the printer for a week,
its great!
photo printing is superb.
document printing - the double sided option is wonderful.
its neat & tidy plus it looks & feels well made,
not like its gonna fall to pieces while printing.
as you can tell i am very pleased with this product,
i spent a good 2 months looking for the perfect printer (wireless preferred) & this is the best of the bunch.
spend the extra - you won't be disappointed.
Canon Pixma MP640
I'm very impressed - it was easy to set up, everything works as it should, the software is good and the photo quality is excellent. Printing on CDs and DVDs is a little fiddly, but that's the worst I can say. It's worth paying a little more for the overall quality, networking and duplexing: I've had a look at some of the cheaper devices, and they're noisy clunkers, with tiny (and expensive) ink cartridges.
A very tough act to follow
I have had this printer for just over month. I am totally impressed by it. It took me a bit of time to figure out the Wi-Fi installation. However, once installed, everything works like a dream.
My wife wanted a high quality photo printer and I wanted one that can do double-sided printing and is capable of wireless printing. I just can't accept the paper wastage by printers that cannot do duplex printing in this day and age.
The MP640 is everything that it has promised to be. The photo printing quality is absolutely superb and fast. Double-sided is fast and painless too. The high quality scanning capability is, to me, a real bonus. I scanned a photo and made a copy of the scanning image using the printer. I could only tell the difference when I compared them up close. It was impressive.
So far I have not tried printing on a DVD/CD or scanning an image to file yet but I did not buy it for these purposes. So whether these other function work equally well or not I am totally in awe of this printer. All these features coming in at less than GBP£150 is just incredible. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to purchase a wireless, duplex enabled, high-quality photo printer.
I have just one minor issue with it and it is its photo paper support in the back. The flap is flimsy and it feels it could break quite easily if one is not careful. But I have positioned the printer in a place where the back is protected so this is not a serious for me. Please make the back of the next version a little less flimsy, Canon! However, all is all, a job very well done indeed!!
