Canon PIXMA MP160 Ink Cartridges

Canon MP160 Printer Review

Its photo printing feature and ability to scan, copy and print documents give the Canon Pixma MP160 an abundance of versatility. While designed for home use, it still has optional high capacity Canon MP160 ink cartridges that are capable of supporting demanding output volume rates. A relatively low retail price and optional long-lasting printer ink make it cost-efficient for users. The ability to print directly from devices like digital cameras and mobile phones is made possible with its easy-to-use PictBridge port. Photos print with excellent quality using this inkjet unit's 4-color system, which includes cyan, magenta, yellow and black ink.

Canon MP160 ink can print on media like transparencies, envelopes, plain paper, cards and photo paper. A standard media capacity of 100 sheets allows users to print without always having to restock paper. Lab-quality photos are generated with a maximum resolution of 4800x1200 dpi using color Pixma MP160 ink cartridges.

Black Canon MP160 ink can produce documents with a resolution of approximately 600x600 dpi. When printing, up to 22 pages per minute and 17 pages per minute can be produced using black and color printer ink, respectively. A variety of paper sizes are supported, the maximum size being 8.5x14 inches. Documents turn out with precise quality due to this unit's minimum Pixma MP160 ink droplet size that is as small as 2 picoliters.

Using Dual Color Gamut Technology, its copier produces duplicates that are mirror images of the original document. With quality photo printing technology, this inkjet unit can create images capable of lasting for over 100 years. Also, with software like Canon Easy PhotoPrint and ArcSoft PhotStudio, users will have no trouble producing photos that can stand the test of time. The Canon Pixma MP160's inexpensive price of $130-$180 and variety of PC-free printing options will satisfy any home user.
