Though inkjet models start as low as $100, we recommend spending slightly more for a model that includes standalone faxing and has an auto document feeder (ADF) for easily faxing and copying multipage documents...Tell us what you like about this product...Tell us what you don't like about this product...

Speedy printing > Good quality prints > Stylish...Awkward setup > Slightly expensive running costs > Below average photo printing...We're used to laser printers that are big and bulky, but the size of the inkjet Canon PIXMA MX850 took us by surprise as it is both wide and deep...You have to remove a huge quantity of packing tape to get to the power cord, ink...

Scan resolution is slightly fuzzy and jagged; some colors look muted in scan output....The MX850 is a bit bulky, at 31 pounds, but it sets up in a snap...Copying, scanning, faxing, and photo printing are accessible through the MX850’s button-control panel, and menus are intuitive and easy to read on the printer’s 2.5-inch LCD...Our test print of a picnic scene looked brighter...

"Both machines will not disappoint, but with the advantage of my brief side-by-side comparison I'd recommend that you save $40 bucks and get the MP830..."

"I was wrong!!! This multi-function printer is as good, maybe even a little better at photos than the iP6000 was..."

"Scanning should come out just as good as copying, but I've yet to try it..."

"The additional software utility does a good job of telling you when ink is getting low without being obtrusive..."

"Overall, it was a breeze to set-up and works as advertised..."

"I occasionally print high-quality photos and have found the quality to be very good..."

"I've always owned Canon printers and this one will not disappoint! Very functional and great prints! It is rather large and heavy, however, it has a lot of functions built in and it is a sturdy printer..."

"I have just started to replace the original cartridges..."

"Small inconvenience for all the other features! Haven't used the fax function yet..."
