Product Description

This is an All-In-One powerhouse. Thanks to its patented print head technology and 5-color ink system, you¿ll create spectacular photos with 9600 x 2400 color dpi resolution1, and it¿s fast: A photo lab quality 4" x 6" borderless print takes only about 21 seconds2. Copies will be remarkably true to the originals, and when scanning photos you¿ll produce impressive 4800-dpi results, with vibrant 48-bit color depth. The built-in Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) holds up to 35 originals and enables automatic duplexing, so you don¿t have to manually turn over your 2-sided original. This versatile machine is networkable via an Ethernet connection, and offers an optional BU-30 Bluetooth interface3, so you can print wirelessly from a PC or PDA. You can also print photos right from memory cards4 ¿ selecting and enhancing images on the high-resolution 2.5" color TFT display ¿ or directly from a digital camera.

Reviews

Cannon is an excellent brand, although this printer is slightly harder to navigate through projects, than my Lexmark. Overall I would have to say the quality of the prints are first class. I think the color values are better than other printers I have had (Lexmark, HP)or used. It is more expensive to buy ink, but with high quality performance and I don't mind paying extra for ink. I also like the "quiet" feature, why would anyone want to hear the printing?, I find it annoying, it's great!

I bought this printer as a general-purpose family printer/scanner. This is my first all-in-one device. I have always been leery of multi-function devices thinking that they would be a "jack of all trades" but the "master of none." I may have also been biased because multifunction printer support when Mac OS X was released was pretty spotty. I tend to over research whatever I buy but the price, reviews, and specs for the MX850 were generally pretty good. I was not buying this as photo printer--that was going to be a future purchase. I bought the MX850 and got it set up on our network--my only complaint might be that setting up the printer on an ethernet is a little user unfriendly. I thought I would just try on a 4x6 print and was amazed at how good it was. So good, we got rid of our (very good) Epson PictureMate printer because of the higher versatility of the Canon. I then tried to push the envelope and bought some "pro" 8.5x11 photo paper. I was blown away by the results. For the first time since going digital, my pictures weren't trapped in the computer! I have made close to 100 large prints and was surprised how parsimonious with ink this printer is. In the spirit of full disclosure, I am an advanced amateur photographer. I color calibrate my Mac monitors. All my prints were created from Photoshop CS3 so all my images had been manipulated with respect to image size, contrast, and sharpness. I can not judge this printer on producing an image directly from a memory card or from less-capable image manipulation programs like iPhoto (which I do use for all my photo organization needs). However, every printer I have ever owned tends to darken photographs and the MX850 is no exception. When doing "fine art" printing from this device you may not get it right on the first print.

This printer does great on plain paper as well. In general the copying and scanning functions very well. The MP Navigator software works reasonably well but the UI is a little idiosyncratic--it doesn't have the polish of a true Mac OS X application. I have sent only one fax but that went without problem.

Printer will not power up after power outage; was plugged into surge protector and other components on same surge protector are working fine. Printer is only six months old ! A shame, as I really liked the printer when it was working :(.


It worked great for the first 2 days. It is the same problem with cannon mx830 that i bought last year. The sensor must be bad on the cannon products. Not easy to get on the phone with anybody. Just frustrated at this point will try another company.

The printer won't allow you to SCAN when the printer is out of ink. Why? You shouldn't need ink to scan straight to the computer!

Also, scanning documents written in pencil is nearly impossible. The image quality is poor.

I've used this printer for over a year.
