Canon MP970 Review

Mark Goldstein | Printers | December 6, 2007 | 2 Comments

Canon MP970PCMag have reviewed the Canon MP970, the new top-of-the-range PIXMA All-in-One printer.

“Having just reviewed two Canon printers—the Pixma iP4500 Photo Printer and Pixma MP610 Photo All-In-One (AIO)—that offered little to no improvement over the models they replaced (even though they’re still better than the competition), I approached the Canon Pixma MP970 Photo All-In-One ($299.99 direct) with low expectations. But in this case, the new model includes some substantial improvements over the Editors’ Choice Pixma MP960 it replaces. Even better, the MP970 drops the price to just three-quarters of what the MP960 cost, making an entire subcategory of AIO far more affordable.”

Possibly the best electronics purchase I've ever made. I've had this printer nearly a year now and I still haven't replaced an ink cartridge- it just keeps going.

I have duplex printing on by default, which I find a great feature, scanning is brilliant and fast, print quality meets my standards as a professional photographer, though you will need high grade paper to really hold the definition, probably not the cheapest stock you can find on eBay.

Quick, great quality and excellent value. Haven't had a jam or other fault in a year of use..
Also is nice how the feeder, output and controls all fold away to make a perfect cubiod!

I mostly use it for the scanner. The program interface looks nice (compared to HP stuff I've replaced).
Two things are annoying:
- the scans are too yellowish. I have to color edit almost every scan to make it look like the original.
- the settings are reset to the default for each scan and I have to select my settings from the list each time.
