Canon PIXMA MP990 inkjet multifunction

Canon's refreshed high-end PIXMA multifunction is great for photo lovers

Comprehensive connectivity, great print quality, easy to use

Prints slowly, Easy Scroll Wheel can be frustrating, can’t print documents from USB flash drives

For the avid photographer, Canon's PIXMA MP990 inkjet multifunction offers great print quality. It's easy to connect to your PC (either directly or over a network), but don't expect quick printouts.

Canon PIXMA MP990 review

The Canon PIXMA MP990 improves on the previous model, though not enough to warrant an upgrade if you already own the PIXMA MP980.

For the avid photographer, the Canon PIXMA MP990 inkjet multifunction offers great print quality. It's easy to connect to your PC (either directly or over a network), but don't expect quick printouts.
