Canon PIXMA MP640 review

It's a fair few years now since Canon launched its ground-breaking five-ink printing system, featuring dye-based cyan, magenta, yellow and black inks, as well as a secondary pigment-based black ink in the line-up. The idea behind the so-called ContrastPlus configuration is that the pigment-based black ink gives strong black text, rather than the faint grey appearance often associated with dye-based black ink, while contrast is boosted for accurate colour photo reproduction. Based on the latest ChromaLife100+ incarnation of the system, the MP640 takes the tried and trusted print engine from the super-fast PIXMA iP4700 bare-bones printer and adds a veritable wish-list of all-in-one extras, from standalone photocopying to photo printing direct from memory cards.Playing the numbers game to great effect, the MP640 boasts class-leading print and scanning resolutions of 9600 x 2400dpi and 4800 x 9600dpi respectively. While the HP Photosmart Premium C309G matches the Canon's print resolution, the MP640 reigns supreme in this price bracket when it comes to scanning. Colour rendition, contrast and brightness are unerringly accurate, Canon being somewhat of a pioneer when it comes to CIS (Contact Image Sensor) scanning, as used in most all-in-one printers and featured in the company's top-performing standalone flatbed scanners like the LiDE 100 and LiDE 200 models.

Product Survey: Multifunction Printers

The MP640 is a high-end printer, in that it combines a colour screen (albeit without touch-sensitive controls), WiFi, double-sided printing and five separate cartridges: as well as the usual cyan, magenta and yellow, there are two types of black ink, one for photos and the other for documents. Using separate cartridges for each colour ink can represent a saving of between 20% and 25% compared to entry-level models with just one cartridge.This printer has got amateur photographers firmly in its sights, with ink droplets of just 1 picolitre, the smallest possible size and invisible to the naked eye in your photo prints. The built-in scanner has a higher resolution than normal at 2400 dpi. It's got everything we'd look for in a modern multifunction, apart, perhaps, from two things: firstly, we prefer touschreen interfaces over buttons and dials, and secondly, since we tried them out, we really want more of the personally customisable features offered by Lexmark, especially on its . Canon claims that the MP640 is fast, but unusually, we think they're being modest. The manufacturer suggests you'll reach speeds of nine pages per minute in black-and-white, but when we tried our test document, we found it was closer to 13 ppm!
