Canon MX439 Printer Review

When shopping for a new printer to put in the home office that can be used by the entire family for various reasons, it is important to understand a few essential features to look for. For one, affordability, because everybody has a budget in this economy; reliability, so this process will not have to be repeated in the near future; quality, as standards must be met, professionally and personally; and finally, functionality, because multiple tasks need be handled on a daily basis, and space is limited. The Canon PIXMA MX439 is the perfect choice.

This inkjet true all-in-one unit can print text documents, graphics and vivid color photos. It can also scan and make copies that are true to the original as well as send and receive faxes quickly and easily. The scanner surface is flatbed, so thickness will not be a factor. Up to 99 duplicates can be made from one scan, and the fax transmission speed of 33.6 Kbps allows faxes to be processed in 3 seconds.

Inkjet technology requires nozzles to evenly distribute dots of Canon MX439 ink on the paper. There are 1,792 nozzles in this machine, which creates a maximum resolution of 4800x1200 dpi in full color and 600x600 dpi using only the black PIXMA MX439 ink. One Canon MX439 ink cartridge holds yellow, magenta and cyan printer ink and can generate about 400 prints. The black PIXMA MX439 ink cartridge yields only about 300 prints.

Users can connect a computer through a USB port or wirelessly and also have the option of connecting a digital camera directly through the PictBridge port. Up to 100 sheets of paper can fit on the input and put trays, and the Canon MX439 ink will print on a variety of media types, such as glossy paper and photo paper.
