Versatile Printer

I was already in the market for a film scanner, and was considering one from either Canon or Epson. (Hasselblad makes the best, but you could buy a decent used car for the price.) Then my old HP deskjet started acting up, and I found this Canon...

Includes a decent film scanner

Slow to start, slow scanning

Great Printer!

I really love and enjoy using this printer. Once it is warmed up it prints very quickly...Have not printed any photos on it yet but I am sure it is great with that too. I love the SD card slot location. It has a door in front of it so it keeps the dust...

Once the printer is warmed up it prints very quickly! I love that aspect of it

When you first turn it on it takes a while before it will print your document

Not recommended for office use

This machine was purchased for use in a small business office. The only good thing I can say is the print quality is great. We had an IT company do the installation and driver wouldn't install the scan feature on our 3rd computer. The paper drawer only...

The is a really good printer.

I have enjoyed the use of this printer. Was easy to set up. The duplex feature is great. Print quality of photos is really good. I wish it was a little less costly. I would defiantly recommend this printer.About me... Frequent user

Good Choice (I hope)

Last week my old printer died at 10 months (for the second time). Rather than carry on, I wanted a printer that was reliable and the ink did not bankrupt me. I liked this printer at other stores until I found it on sale at Best Buy. That clinched the...

Canon Pixma MG8250 multi-function inkjet printer-scanner

Lots of extras and a beautiful design too

Excellent print quality; wireless printing; disc printing; twin paper trays; good touch-sensitive controls

No high-yield cartridges

Just about everything you could want in a home all-in-one printer, from good quality prints and scans to responsive touch controls

Canon Pixma MG8250 review

It's fairly expensive to buy and its running costs aren't cheap, but the Canon MG8250 prints superb quality text, graphics and photos at a rapid pace.

Superb text, graphics and photo results ; Fast print speeds ; Duplex printing ; Wi-Fi and Ethernet support

Expensive ; High running costs

The MG8250 is far from the cheapest printer to buy or to run but it does produce superb print quality across text, graphics and photos. Its print speeds are among the fastest in the business. Add in a great line-up of features and you've got yourself a...

Canon All-in-One MG8250 : Canon Pixma MG8250

The Canon Pixma MG8250 is a sleek black unit that will look good in any office. I fear however it will need to be discretely placed in most homes unless the ‘lounge police' are of Goff persuasion. It is a lovely six ink offering that prints, scans and...

When closed it is 44.5x38x18cm, double the last figure the height if you have A4 paper in the rear photo printing recess. Add 11cm to the middle figure the depth when the paper output tray opens automatically for printing. The overall weight is...
