Nobody really wants to spend on a printer these days, unless they’re photography and graphics enthusiasts. Canon probably realizes this, because the company has released two Pixma all-in-one printers and one Selphy compact photo printer at prices that won’t break the bank.
The Pixma MP560 wireless photo all-in-one printer (shown above) has auto duplex printing and Wi-Fi capability. It will print out pictures directly from your USB flash drive, and lets you preview pictures on its 2-inch LCD screen with an integrated scroll wheel. Rated print speeds are 6.0ipm (impressions per minute) for letter-sized color documents and 9.2ipm for black-and-white ones. This model is also Canon’s most compact inkjet printer, and it retails for only $150.
The Pixma MP490 all-in-one photo printer is a much simpler version of the MP560. It’s a no-frills machine that can print, scan and copy, and features a 1.8-inch LCD screen. It prints colored, letter-sized documents at 4.8ipm, and black-and-white pages at 8.4ipm. It’ll only set you back $100.
The portable Selphy CP790 compact photo printer looks like a bucket, with its storage basket that holds ink cartridges, AC adapter, cable and paper. The 3-inch LCD screen lets you do minor photo editing right on the printer, and it prints a 4 x 6-inch photo in around 43 seconds. Optional features include memory card slots and a battery pack for truly portable printing. Unit price is $179.995.
