Large 2.5-inch LCD; built-in memory card reader; stylish design; robust software suite; fast output.

Output speed prone to intermittent lags.

Canon Pixma MX870

For $200 (as of May 26, 2010), the Canon Pixma MX870 color inkjet multifunction printer offers a lot of features and performance for the money, especially for small-office or home-office users. Its ink prices are good, too.

300-sheet paper capacity ; Low ink costs ; Automatic duplexer

Scanner cover doesn't telescope

This well-balanced MFP offers excellent output, good performance, and low ink costs, making it well suited for a small office or a busy family.

Canon Pixma MX870 review

It might also be the largest Canon Pixma printer I've reviewed (not including the professional series) with the approximate dimensions of 19 x 17 x 9 inches in storage mode although still more compact than any multifunction laser print on the market today

Quality prints ; MP Navigator scan software ; Useful office features

Processing slowed down print speeds ; Uneven single document scans

There is a 1-yr limited warranty with Canon's Instant Exchange program and toll-free technical phone support
