Canon PIXMA MX7600 Ink Cartridges

Canon MX7600 Printer Review

In its class of all-in-one inkjet printers, the Canon PIXMA MX7600 is one of the best solutions for home office use. With speeds of up to 28 pages per minute for monochrome documents and 23 pages per minute for color, the device can print moderately fast compared to similar units. With the ability to fax, copy, scan and print, as well as its sophisticated PIXMA MX7600 printer ink system that prints a professional-quality photo output, this multipurpose printer has the versatile design to handle a range of projects.

The MX7600 is distinguished by its office-centric design, which allows it to operate as a standalone fax machine and copier, as well scan documents straight to a user's email or print over a network with its ethernet interface. Users will also be able to scan large jobs quickly, even double-sided sheets, with the included 35-sheet duplexing automatic document feeder. Front panel LEDs will keep users updated on their supplies, notifying users when paper or Canon MX7600 printer ink are running low.

What sets this unit apart from more office-centric models is its equally impressive photo printing capabilities, which include a 1.8-inch LCD that will allow users to preview images and Easy-PhotoPrint software for enhancing and editing images. Users also have the ability to print photos directly from a PictBridge-compatible camera or memory cards formats like miniSD and CompactFlash.

The device is best suited for low volume home printing with its maximum media capacity of only 150 pages. The single input tray supports media like 4x6-inch photo paper and a maximum plain paper size of 8.5x14 inches.

The ink system includes standard cyan, magenta and yellow supplies, as well as two additional black Canon MX7600 ink cartridges: one matte and one photo black. This system is responsible for the device's quality output that stood well against expert tests, printing photos with a resolution of 4800x1200 dpi and text with a resolution of 600x600 dpi using black PIXMA MX7600 ink. Each replacement color supply can yield up to 930 pages, while the black Canon MX7600 ink cartridges last for up to 560 pages.

Quick speeds, sharp output quality and versatile connectivity make this an attractive home office inkjet printer. In addition, the MX7600 offers a bundle of both photo and office features that make it a very flexible multifunction device.
