PIXMA MP610Highlights

Picolitre size The size of the ink droplets can vary, and it is this that you quite often see quoted in printer specifications as a Pico litre rating (pl). The Smaller the nozzle jet, the tinier the ink drop, so the more detailed the print image will be.

Ink tanks/Cartridges To minimise ink wastage and protect the environment, Canon's Single Ink system uses transparent, individually replaceable single colour ink tanks. Each tank incorporates an LED that flashes slowly to indicate when ink is low, or rapidly when the tank is empty. To ensure hassle-free installation, the LED also indicates when a tank is incorrectly installed.

Scroll Wheel The Easy-Scroll Wheel is rotated to operate the printer and make selections from the menu, displayed on a high quality colour TFT screen.

Auto Duplex Built-in Auto Duplex printing capability is compatible with photo paper as well as plain paper feeding from both Rear Tray and Cassette.

Customer Reviews

One of the best multi purpose machines
I needed a printer to replace a Xerox Phaser 6110 Colour Laser printer and also a scanner to scan old photos. After much deliberation between this and the Kodak, I opted for this machine and I am glad I did.

The machine was well packed and all the information needed to get you started in all there. The ink comes in 5 different tanks (cyan, magenta, yellow, black and pigment black). This is very handy because if 1 colour goes, just replace that ink. An old HP machine (and the Kodak I was looking at) had a tri-colour cartridge, so if only 1 colour went, you had to replace all. This is a waste of money and bad for the environment.

I have a Mac, and this printer came with the software to operate all the components via Mac and Windows. Not many printers come with dedicated Mac software, so another plus point.

The printer has 2 paper input trayte, one underneath and one on top. I have put a wad of A4 paper in the bottom tray, and when printing envelopes or on glossy paper, I feed this in the top, so no need to keep taking out the paper in the bottom tray. When you print, if it is not already open, the bottom flaps down so that the printed paper comes out, very handy. Print quality is very good to amazing, depending upon the quality of the paper. Also, printing is fast. Even a high quality print on gloss paper comes out quickly and with little noise.

If printing text, you have an option to duplex print (print both sides of the paper). If printing out a booklet or lots of pages, it is a very handy feature not normally found on printers in this price range.

If you have printable CD/DVD's then place them in the tray and slide it in the printer, the software will allow you to position any text/pictures and when ready, will print directly on the discs with amazing results.

The scanner is very quick. My last scanner was 8 years ago, and this is a big improvement. A lot quieter and much quicker producing high resolution images that can be easily edited and saved. A feature also allows you to adjust via the scanner such as red eye removal, de-fade images etc. Once scanned in only seconds, you can easily edit them in other software such as iphoto, Photoshop etc.

Of course, for duplicating pictures (copying) then you can use the printer without a PC connected. The front top flap lifts up to reveal a colour screen where you can easily navigate to scan, copy, photo-reprint, CD label print etc, as well as print images directly from a memory card inserted in the card slots on the right. With photo-reprints, you can enlarge a 6x4 photo to a 10x 15 etc, or enlarge just a section and produce multiple copies or a single copy. You can even connect a digital camera directly to the printer so no need to remove the memory card, but have not tried this yet.

The only drawback is that it is not network ready, so cannot connect it to the router but instead have to use a USB lead in the computer. You can buy a bluetooth dongle and make it a bluetooth printer, but these are almost half as much again as the printer was to buy.

Overall, I am still only just beginning to use all the facilities this great printer has to offer, and can recommend it to any Windows or Mac user who is looking for a printer and scanner.

Canon MP610 - Brilliant!
Mine arrived yesterday and was a doddle to set up. I installed it with no problems on my laptop with XP Pro - piece of cake. Photo prints are unbelievable. I printed a photo on 'standard' on ordinary supermarket cheapo paper and compared it with the same image printed a few days ago on quality paper set to 'best' print setting on my now redundant HP Photosmart 7450. NO COMPARISON!! Absolutely fantastic quality.

God send
Canon Pixma MP610, Photo All-in-One (3-in-1) with colour TFT screen and Easy Scroll Wheel.

Have just received one of these printers and although I have not really tested it fully , I have one thing to say about photo printing superb ! I had a Lexmark before and when i printed pictures they were terrible washed out ect , But the canon vibrant good reproduction , so easy the software takes you through every step, borderless printing is a snip my first thought was worth every penny go and treat yourself and buy one
