Canon Unveil Pixma MX860 and Pixma MX330 by Tom Walker
Canon has unveiled two new printers that are multi-functional in nature, with copying, scanning and faxing along with document and photo printing. These printers are aimed at offices where saving space is at a premium and home offices as well.Pixma MX860 is truly professional by producing resolutions up to 9600 X 2400 dpi for both colour and monochrome. Droplet size is as small as 1 pico liter which is probably the finest in the industry. The printer comes with five individual cartridges, cyan, magenta, yellow, black and photo black to carry out printing activities. Printing speed for 4" X 6" photographs is above average at 41 seconds per photograph. The printer is mounted with a 2.5" TFT screen to view images before printing and to navigate through the menu. The printer is network ready for wired networks through Ethernet and wireless through Wi-Fi.
Pixma MX330 is a watered down version of MX860 where some features are either not present or slightly inferior to that of the former. Printing resolution is at 4800 X 2400 dpi for both colour and monochrome with a droplet size of 2 pico liters. The printer has four cartridges and the absence of a photo black cartridge is visible in the printing resolution. Printing speed for 4" X 6" photographs is at 45 seconds and the printer comes with a 1.8" TFT screen.
Both printers are capable of automatic duplex printing and copying. The auto duplex feature for copying ensures that the time spent on copying multiple documents is halved at best. Yet another feature that makes these printers worthy of buying is its ability to save scans in the correct formats. An auto scan mode can detect the kind of media that is getting scanned and saves it in the right format appropriately. A classic example could be a photograph being saved as a JPG and a document as a PDF.
The pricing on these printers are moderate. Pixma MX860 is priced at £100 while Pixma MX330 carries a price tag of £55.
