Manufacturer's Description
The advanced PIXMA MP800 Photo All-In-One delivers spectacular Print Copy-Scan performance. It produces an amazing resolution of up to 9600 x 2400 color dpi, for remarkable detail and clarity. To achieve this, Canon Full-photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering (FINE) uses a next-generation 3, 584-nozzle print head that ejects precise, consistent droplets as small as 1 picoliter. The result? Smoother, virtually grain-free images. Also, Canon's ContrastPLUS 5-color ink system - four dye-based inks and a pigment-based black ink - produces true-life photos with a wide color palette, along with laser-quality text. What about speed? A 4"x 6" photo lab quality borderless photo takes approximately 36 seconds.When copying, the AE (Auto Exposure) Copy feature automatically optimizes reproduction quality based on the type of original you're duplicating. The convenient Photo/Film buttons allow you to make reprints of your photos and 35mm film without using your computer. And now, scanning: the unit's higher-resolution CCD technology enables you to produce exceptional 2400-dpi scans, with vibrant 48-bit color depth. You can simultaneously scan up to 6 frames of 35mm film (negatives or positives), or up to 4 mounted slides. Plus, advanced paper handling features are built in - such as two paper trays and 2-sided printing.Want to evaluate and enhance your images before printing? Just insert your compatible memory card into one of the built-in card slots, then select the images on the extra-large 3.5" LCD color viewer. As needed, images will automatically be enhanced for red eye, sharpness and brightness values. Or, you can fine-tune the images yourself using the easy control panel. Then, print directly from the memory card! As an option, you can print directly from a PictBridge ready device such as a digital camera. This versatile printer is Bluetooth compatible, with Canon's optional USB Bluetooth adapter. When using either wireless option, your images will automatically be enhanced for sharpness.The Canon ChromaLife100 system combines the PIXMA MP800 Photo All-In-One's FINE print head technology and newly developed inks with select Canon photo papers, with results rivaling that of many conventional photos. And with the new smart LED ink tanks, your LED lamp flashes when ink is running low, and flashes even faster when nearing empty.

Customer Reviews

Poor cartridges
I have this printer and 2x canon ip4200 They all suffer from cartridge problems. Simetimes the cartridges are either not recognised OR it says that there are 2 x magetas THEN simply refuses to do anything. This was using Original Branded cartridges - which it initially accepts then decides to provide an error message.

Really poor

romaniaexpress
Contrary to the first reviewer I have had no problems with this printer. My photo prints are great. It`s a breeze to operate and the price was right. I do agree however that the ink is expensive. Printing CD`s and DVD`s is also quick and accurate. All functions on this printer are good.

Disappointing results and not vey user friendly
Having read some good reviews about this printer I persuaded my partner that we should get it.

Unfortunately we found that the colour quality for printing photos was poor, the colours were much different to our images, particularly skin tones. This could no doubt be improved/resolved by playing with the settings to modify the colour configuration - but this is far from a user friendly activity and would require multiple test prints - and we have found the ink cartridges run out pretty quickly.

We are now getting an error from it telling us that we have two cartridges of the same colour loaded, this is not true. I have to stop and restart it to clear the error.

The whole user interface is not particularly intuitive and could be much better designed (for example if the scanner detects whitespace it will chop your scan into mutiple images without asking you, perhaps there is a setting somewhere to stop this, but it is not obvious).

On the plus side the paper feed tray is good. It's a large unit, but it is stylish, ummm and that is about it. I regret buying this multifunction printer.
