Canon MP240 Ink PIXMA MP240 Ink Cartridges

Designed as a basic home photo printer, the Canon PIXMA MP240 is inexpensive and versatile. It is intended to be used as a personal printer but could be used in a small office setting with low-volume needs. The unit can print black-and-white documents at a rate of 19 pages minute and full color graphics at 15 pages per minute. A 4x6" borderless photo takes about 45 seconds to generate, which is faster than many photo printers on the market.

A single PC can be connected to the MP240 through the USB port, and digital cameras can be plugged directly into the printer via PictBridge port. This gives users the opportunity to print pictures without using the computer, rather selecting images with the menu on the camera. The automatic image fix tool and Dual Color Gamut Processing Technology will ensure the typical flaws in the original photograph, such as red eyes, will not be present in the printed picture.

The machine uses nozzles attached to the printheads to apply tiny dots of Canon MP240 ink and it has 1,472 nozzles in total. The maximum resolution created using all colors of printer ink is 4800x1200 dpi, and 600x600 dpi using black PIXMA MP240 ink only. When scanning, the maximum resolution is 1200x2400 dpi, or 19200x19200 dpi interpolated.

Reviews from customers about the MP240 are mixed. The most common complaint seems to be the way the machine guzzles Canon MP240 printer ink during operation. The slow warm-up time and loud production noise are also on the negative list. The positives include its simple set-up and compact size. Many reviews mentioned the low cost of replacement PIXMA MP240 ink cartridges.

Overall, this color inkjet is a solid photo printer that also offers the ability to handle basic scanning and copying needs. It has strong features, impressive quality and the affordable Canon MP240 ink cartridges make it an all-around great value.
