Reviews: Multifunction Printers

The Canon Pixma MP280 is a 3-in-1 multifunction inkjet entry level machine designed for individuals looking for a fallback solution. It picks up from the Pixma MP270. Its spec and look are identical, with just the colour changing (Canon has decided to abandon white for black). Designed to print both photos and office documents, it offers particularly good value for money. This is an entry-level machine, so of course it only has the strict minimum. You get the basic 3-in-1 (print, copy, scan) and that's about it. There's no black & white, no card reader, no networking or wi-fi and a paper loader with a capacity of just 100 pages. Unlike high-end models, the MP280 doesn't have separate colour cartridges. It has one black and another colour, combining cyan, magenta and yellow. The screen only displays numbers and the buttons around it are pretty intuitive and easy to use. Canon is announcing 8 pages per minute (ppm) for black & white and 5 ppm for colour prints. Our graph shows the exact opposite. What's going on? There are both graphics and photos in our test documents. Canon's default setting gives the ink time to dry, which slows down print speeds. If you think that the drying time is too long and want to prioritise speeds, you can shorten it.

Canon Pixma MP280 Photo All-In-One Printer

The Canon Pixma MP280 Photo All-in-One Printer is at the bottom rung of Canon's multifunction printer (MFP) ladder. Befitting its $69.99 (direct) price tag, it's pretty nearly frill free. But despite its barebones feature set, it produces decent-quality output at a respectable speed, and that should be enough for many budget-conscious consumers. The MP280 sticks to the basic all-in-one functions (printing, copying, and scanning). Its connectivity is limited to a wired USB connection to a computer, and it lacks any ports for printing from (or scanning to) other sources - memory cards, USB keys, or PictBridge-enabled cameras. As an MFP with a limited feature set, it's definitely geared more to the home than the home office. Its 100-sheet paper capacity effectively limits its business use to very light duty in a home office, or as a personal printer in a larger office. The MP280 does have one nice extra: it supports a new Canon feature, Full HD Movie Print. It allows users of compatible Canon EOS and Powershot digital cameras to print out frames from HD videos shot with these cameras. From Full HD Movie Print, a user can select a video (it must be HD, either 720p or 1080p), play through it forward or backward, capture frames, and print them out.

Canon Pixma MP280

At just $70 (as of August 20, 2010), the Canon Pixma MP280 color inkjet multifunction printer (print/copy/scan) is priced to tempt budget-minded users. It offers impressive output quality, but its minimal features and higher-than-average ink costs mean that only low-volume users need apply. The Pixma MP280's speed is middling. On a PC, plain-text pages averaged 5.6 pages per minute, and photos came out at 1.5 ppm. Its text speed was identical on a Mac, but the higher-resolution photo we used in that test understandably took longer. Scanning and copying were slower than average. Where the Pixma MP280 really shines is in the quality of its output. At default settings on plain paper, text looked nicely black and very smooth, but photos appeared too orangey; the effect disappeared when we switched to Canon's own photo paper. Color copies were precise and vivid. There's no doubt that the Pixma MP280 is designed for low-volume use. It has neither an automatic document feeder for the scanner nor automatic duplexing for the printer, and it sports only a single 100-sheet, vertical paper feed in the rear.
