Canon PIXMA MP830 Ink Cartridges

Canon MP830 Printer Review

Take a moment to name all the features and functions you want in a home or small office inkjet printer, and chances are, the Canon PIXMA MP830 will come close to covering them all. Not only is it a very capable multifunction device with scanning, printing, copying and faxing functions, but it can also do an excellent job at producing bright and vibrant photos. Separate colors for Canon MP830 ink help to reduce wasted printer ink, and lower the costs as well.

The MP830 has a design that is very space-conscious. Despite the fact that it includes a flatbed scanner, document feeder, and a fairly large control panel with a color LCD display, it doesn't look or feel particularly bulky. The feeder even supports automatic duplex scanning, which can get through two-sided originals in much less time.

Print speeds can go as high as 30 pages per minute for black and 24 for color, and the unit can output a 4x6 color photo in around 36 seconds, which is good news for the photo enthusiast crowd. The enhanced resolution simulates printing at 9600x2400 dpi for very fine prints with lots of detail.

Of course, the other factor that affects an inkjet model's output quality is printer ink. The company didn't fail to innovate here as well, with Canon MP830 ink cartridges that use four separate colors to reduce waste and improve quality. Features like duplex printing can reduce paper usage, while 4-in-1 and 2-in-1 can reduce the usage of PIXMA MP830 ink. PIXMA MP830 ink cartridges have a capacity of around 280 pages each.

For stunning photos, general office tasks, and just about anything else you can throw at it, the MP830 is a solid choice for simple home or small office needs. Benefiting from low-cost Canon MP830 ink just adds more value.
