Canon Pixma MP980

By (cnet.com)

Space-saving design ; robust software ; interactive LCD menu ; dual-paper feeds ; fast graphics and photo prints ; auto-duplexer included

Poor print quality ; expensive ; no fax machine ; flimsy paper cassette ; slow text output speed ; unreliable wireless performance ; unique gray ink can be hard to find

The Canon Pixma MP980 multifunction printer, copier, and scanner are a step up from its predecessor, but the print quality isn't up to standard and it doesn't perform as quickly as the competition. The HP Photosmart Premium Fax all-in-one is a less ...

Pixma MP980

By Melissa Riofrio (pcworld.com)

Canon's Pixma MP980 color inkjet multifunction printer offers many premium-level features for photo enthusiasts. For its price ($300 as of 12/09/2008), it could be better in some ways, but it is, at least, progressive.

Intuitive control-panel design Dual input trays; automatic duplexing

Expensive; odd colorings on plain paper Rattletrap rear input-tray design

Ink costs are reasonable. The machine ships with standard-size cartridges: a 344-page pigment black (K), and 447-page photo gray, cyan (C), magenta (M), and yellow (Y). A replacement pigment black costs $13.99 (4.1 cents per page). The other colors ...

Canon Pixma MP980 Wireless Photo All-In-One Printer

By M. David Stone (pcmag.com)

As Canon's replacement for the Editors' Choice Pixma MP970 Photo All-In-One, the Pixma MP980 Wireless Photo All-In-One Printer ($299.99 direct) has a lot to live up to. Both models are what I like to call photo-lab all-in-ones (AIOs). You can use them ...

High-quality photos. Scans and prints from 35mm film. Network and Wi-Fi support. Built-in duplexer.

No fax support. Clumsy network installation. Can't set network support to accept both wired and wireless connections.

The Canon Pixma MP980 Wireless Photo All-In-One Printer is a prime example of a photocentric all-in-one (AIO) that can also function as a standalone home photo lab.

Like the MP970 before it, the Canon Pixma MP980 Wireless Photo All-In-One...

"Quality cant be beat for the money."

I actually have two printers and I got this o... 

Black and White photo's, LCD Menu, 35mm film, software, very solidly constructed Very fast printing from sleep mode. Scanner is fast and detailed

1) You can't connect both wirelessly and wired on a network. I like to connect wired to my work PC because it presents fewer problems with my VPN client. 2) The directions are not the easiest to follow. 3) Black ink goes fast

"Don't bother!"

By bluecardinals (cnet.com)

The overall document and photo quality has been good

LCD screen didn't function after only 3 months. Had to have printer exchanged. You have to order gray ink online, not sold in stores. Shipping cost almost double the price! Printer is non functional if it's out of ink, can't even scan
