Canon MX372 Printer Review

Leave it to powerhouse manufacturer Canon to create a line of home office all-in-one inkjet printers that can print, scan, copy and fax, and do so within a compact, stylish frame. The model is a Canon PIXMA MX372 and its versatility, affordability and consistency have elevated it to the top of the market where it belongs. This unit has the ability to produce lab-quality 4x6 inch photographs in less than a minute with a maximum resolution of 4800x1200 dpi due to the 1,752 nozzles distributing Canon MX372 ink evenly over every inch of paper.

Though the upfront price is reasonable, the low yields of the Canon MX372 ink cartridges will force users that print often to frequently seek replacements. The PIXMA MX372 ink cartridge the holds cyan, magenta and yellow printer ink can yield about 400 pages and the black can produce only about 300 pages. Replacement Canon MX372 ink can be purchased directly from the manufacturer or from a number of certified resellers online.

The scanner is a flat surface for various document sizes and offers an enhanced resolution of 19200x19200 dpi for saved files. The 48-bit color depth helps to create accurate duplicates and users can resize them from 25-400% the original size. Approximately 4 copies can be made per minute with a maximum of 99 per order. The fax feature is Super G3 compatible, boasting a 33.6 Kbps transmission speed that will process faxes in 3 seconds.

The computer can be connected through a USB port and any operating system will work. There is a 100-sheet paper tray and various paper types that can be printed on. An LCD on the top panel lets users manage tasks, change functions and monitor PIXMA MX372 ink levels. This inkjet unit has such an array of capabilities, it is hard to believe that it weighs less than 20 pounds.
