The Canon Pixma MG8250 is the high-end 3-in-1 photo printer that succeeds the MG8150. Like the previous model, it is mainly targeted at photographers looking for high quality photo prints or wanting to scan slides or negatives. The MG8250 is in keeping with the Canon look in general and the Pixma MG8150 in particular. It has a touch system applied not to the screen itself but rather to the control panel. Buttons light up according to usage. The 8250 has an elegant look about it and is a relatively compact (47 x 39.6 x 19.9 cm, weight 10.7 Kb) machine that will go pretty much anywhere. On the programme: scanning (including scanning of 24 x 36 films with a CCD scanner with a 4600 dpi resolution), copying and double-sided printing. For connectivity it has an Ethernet network port and wi-fi to facilitate sharing and you can also print straight from mobile peripherals and send scans straight from the printer thanks to the Easy-PhotoPrint application. A triple memory card reader and USB port allow you to print photos straight from a card without having to use your computer. You can print these photos in various formats: in identity photo format, with or without borders, in groups of 2, 6 or 8. Mac, Windows and Linux drivers are all included.
The Canon Pixma MG8250 sits at the top of Canon's current range of printers that are aimed at photo enthusiasts. It uses six ink cartridge in an effort to produce the best quality photos possible, but also has plenty of other neat features, including duplex printing, negative scanning and Wi-Fi support. It'll set you back around £250 if bought online. The MG8250 is essentially a large black rectangular, matte black box with nicely curved corners. The top of the unit is home to a big 8.8cm colour display. Unlike a lot of recent models from manufacturers such as Kodak and HP, this display isn’t a touchscreen. Instead Canon has added a number of touch buttons beneath it that light up as you select different functions. It's not quite as immediate as using a touchscreen, but it still makes this model's menus easy to navigate. The Canon Pixma MG8250 employs touch buttons mounted beneath the display instead of a touchscreen. Behind a flap on the front there's a memory card reader that supports Compact Flash, SD and Memory Stick formats. The cassette-style paper tray at the bottom can take up to 105 sheets at a time. Canon has also included a plastic tray that you can mount CDs or DVDs onto for direct disc printing.
