Canon MP460 Printer Review

The Canon MP460 all-in-one inkjet printer is a virtual twin to its predecessor, the MP450. However, it is slightly bigger and has a faster output rate. It can print up to 22 pages per minute using black Pixma MP460 ink and 17 pages per minute using color printer ink. It produces 4"x6" color photos in 52 seconds, which is 3 seconds faster than the previous like-model, and it has a dual gamut technology that optimizes the quality of copies based on the original. The MP460 is optimal for personal usage but would be out of its league in a small business setting.

At a little over 15 pounds, the Canon MP460 is not easy to move, but thanks to the provided software, is easy to set up. It is equipped with ports and slots for connecting directly to memory cards, digital camera, camcorders, mobile phones and Bluetooth. The 1.9" LCD on the top of the machine is used for previewing and editing without the need for a PC. It has a USB 2.0 Hi speed interface for the most efficient and fast image transfers and scanning capabilities.

Over 1,400 nozzles are used to dispense droplets of the Canon MP460 ink onto the page. This exciting technology found in most Canon inkjet printers produces precise and accurate color images. There are two tanks for Canon MP460 ink, one being black and the other tri-color. These are high capacity printer ink cartridges, and each can be replaced for under $30. In new models, Canon has built individual slots for the Pixma MP460 ink cartridges, which increases clarity.

The Canon MP460 is a compact and simple printer, plus it provides multi-functional qualities. Whether buyers are in search of budgeted color printing, or just in need of a simple all-in-one unit, the MP460 does not disappoint. Experts and consumers agree that the Pixma MP460 is one of the finer and most cost effective multi-purpose units that Canon has produced.
