Canon Pixma MP560 Printer Review

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

The Canon Pixma MP560 is a multifunction printer that features wireless connectivity so you can easily print from anywhere in your house or office. Its sleek, streamlined shape houses a convenient fax, copier and flatbed scanner, making this wireless printer a great addition to your workplace or home office. Two-way paper feeding, a large LCD screen, PictBridge and a high performance individual ink system have let this Canon printer earn a 5 out of 5 rating.

Quick Summary

Performance melds with convenience with the Canon Pixma MP560. An optimum 9600 x 2400 maximum color dpi guarantees crisp, vibrant and true-to-life photos. It has print speeds of about 9.2 ipm (impressions per minute) for black print outs and 6ipm for full-color prints. You can choose to connect your computer to this wireless printer via USB or Wi-Fi. You can also print directly from supported memory cards, your camera or your phone. It has a five- ink color ink system, which features four dye-based inks and a pigment-based black ink, producing laser-quality text and superb photos.

Good Points of the Canon Pixma MP560

It’s difficult to find a multifunction printer that does everything you need without flaws but the Canon Pixma MP560 breaks conventions with its excellent photo printing quality, duplex printing and its effortless wireless networking set-up. Five separate Canon PIXMA ink cartridges also help you cut costs—you only need to replace the printer ink that’s run out. Some users also suggest installing only the basic software that you need so that you can easily tweak settings to your liking.

Bad Points of the Canon Pixma MP560

Although the Canon Pixma MP560 produces exceptional quality photos and documents, its print speed leaves much to be desired. It also cannot scan or copy sizes over 8.5 x 11.7 inches, though it can print legal-sized documents. It also does not support Bluetooth connectivity, which some customers would want to have.
