The Canon MP980 ink printer is an elite printing product great for home or small office usage and perfect for photography. With advanced printing performance and scanning quality, the PIXMA MP980 ink will create realistic images that consumers and businesses alike will enjoy. There is only one major drawback—high ink consumption.

This inkjet model contains a special gray ink cartridge that is a Canon exclusive which will give printed black and white photos a more professional look than other models.

Where this product isn't environment or consumer friendly is the high ink consumption. Most consumers agree that this product uses ink too quickly and isn't worth the money the consumer will pay in the long run. The prices for the Canon MP980 ink cartridges are reasonable individually, but the amount at which the consumer will need to buy them will quickly become an expense. Consumers agree that beautiful document are produced, but that it isn't worth the money the buyer will put into it. For most, there is a more affordable option than the PIXMA MP980 ink printer. However, with purchasing a different printer, the buyer will have to sacrifice the quality of the documents produced.
