Canon Pixma MP600

The $200 Canon Pixma MP600 is the mini-me to the gargantuan $300 Pixma MP810 . Its smaller form factor and price have no bearing on the print quality or print speed, though we found this printer to be reasonably fast (lightning fast, even, with photo...

Inexpensive; high quality prints; fast print speeds overall, particularly quick with photo printing.

Scans should be improved; can't use the PictBridge port to connect USB storage devices.

The Canon Pixma MP600 occupies the sweet spot between quality and price. It's one of our favorite photo all-in-ones for home users.

Canon Pixma MP600 Photo All-In-One

Paper handling is one of the MP600's strengths. With built-in duplexing and two 150-sheet paper trays, the printer's 300-sheet total paper capacity is substantial for a home office. Alternatively, the separate paper trays let you keep plain paper in...

Fast. High-quality output. Prints, scans (including scanning to e-mail), and works as a standalone copier

Printing full-page graphics on plain paper tends to make the paper curl

The Canon Pixma MP600 is a three-function all-in-one that combines a fast, high-quality printer and a scanner to offer printing, scanning, and standalone copying.

"Very good printer, copier, reasonable scanner"

I have had an MP600 since early 2007 and use it everyday for everything from copying, printing web pages, printing photos, and printing correspondence and reports. Everyday copying is done on inexpensive office copier paper (not slick ink-jet paper)...

Will print on anything, good and easy convenience copier, very dependable, auto-duplex printing

Ink is expensive, OCR software needs to be upgraded.
