Canon MP160 Printer Review

The Canon MP160 is a sleek inkjet printer targeted for sophisticated at home printing. Costing a little less than a hundred dollars, this device is cheap upfront. No computer is necessary in printing, and users can print directly from a camera or compatible digital device.

Weighing 13 pounds, it is heavier than similar models. However, this is a small price to pay for the sharp tones created by the PIXMA MP160 ink. Its dimensions are 17.5x15.0x7.2 inches, keeping it relatively compact and easy to store. The Canon MP160 ink prints on all standard paper types, as well as photo stickers and credit cards. It is compatible with both Windows and Mac operating systems.

Using color bubble jet technology, the ink has a resolution of 600x600 dpi in black and 4800x1200 dpi in color. Included in the box are black and color FINE Canon MP160 ink cartridges. Though these Canon MP160 ink cartridges are high quality and create impressive documents, Some buyers who print often may feel they are spending too much too often on printer ink. However, buyers who are serious about photography will probably find this to be the perfect fit for them.

Users of the Canon MP160 inkjet printer predominately have positive reviews. Almost everyone agreed that it was easy to set up, and even easier to use. Most also agree that the PIXMA MP160 ink produces sharp tones and colors time after time. Many think the biggest cons with buying this unit are its high cost of printer ink and ink consumption rate. A few users have also complained that there are major paper feed issues.

Performance wise, there are no complaints—most rave about the excellence exerted from this little machine. However, for such a cheap printer, the Canon MP160 ink may make it seem an expense for some. This is the perfect model for photographers wanting high quality prints that aren't worrying about their checkbook or someone who doesn't print often but expects precision when they do. For everyone else, however, there's probably a better printer out there.
