Canon MP610 Printer Review

The Canon MP610 inkjet printer is an all-in-one costing around $180. With print speeds at 31 pages per minute with black printer ink and 24 pages per minute with color, this little machine has all the speed and capabilities perfect for a home or small office. The cost of PIXMA MP610 ink is a little pricey and could become expensive quickly.

Weighing 22 pounds, this model is slightly bigger than much of its competition. With dimensions of 17.7x15.3x7.4 inches, it's easy to see why. It is, however, Windows and Mac compatible. Wireless printing is a feature offered, and many memory cards are also compatible—the user doesn't even need to be connected to a computer.

The Canon MP610 inkjet unit can print and scan wirelessly. Credit Card, legal, 4"x 6", 4"x 8", 5"x 7", 8"x 10", Letter, U.S. #10 envelope, and photo sticker sized paper can all be used with the MP610. It can print or copy 2 sided pages saving paper in the long run and reducing wasted paper. The Quick Start button will conserve energy and power up the device much quicker than others.

The unit uses five Canon MP610 ink cartridges—pigment black, cyan, magenta, yellow and black printer ink. Each of these Canon MP610 ink cartridges can be changed individually saving the buyer from unnecessary wasting of printer ink. Resolutions of 600x600 dpi and 9600x2400 dpi are exerted using PIXMA MP610 ink.

Consumer reviews of the Canon MP610 inkjet printer are varied. Most agree that the documents created are exquisite. Sharp tones and colors are also a plus, according to users. Many applaud the unit for its compact design, while others complain about its large footprint and its heavy exterior. The one complaint most seem to agree on is the high consumption and high cost of Canon MP610 ink.
