Canon MX892 Printer Review

The Canon PIXMA MX892 has a sharp, almost futuristic design and versatile functions that will allow users to print, scan, copy and fax documents. The device is tested with quick speeds compared to models in its class, printing 4x6-inch borderless photos in approximately 20 seconds. This inkjet printer has a lot to offer, from speeds and intuitive controls, to a sophisticated PIXMA MX892 printer ink system.

The unit has an extensive front panel designed for user-friendly control, including a 3-inch LCD display and a full keypad for fax dialing. The front panel also incorporates media slots that can handle a number of compatible cards for direct photo printing, such as Memory Stick Duo and CompactFlash. Additional connective options include Google Cloud printing capabilities and wireless AirPrint technology that will allow users to print straight from Apple mobile devices like iPads and iPhones.

For office functionality, the device includes features such as automatic duplex printing and a 35-sheet automatic document feeder for quick scanning and faxing. The unit's standard media capacity of 300 pages is decent enough to support low-volume offices.

Most notably, the MX892 is an excellent photo and graphics printer that can print professional-grade projects with a maximum resolution of 9600x2400 dpi using color Canon MX892 printer ink. With the unit's Full-lithography inkjet nozzle engineering technology and ChromaLife 100 system, users can print full-color photos with precision and detail that can last up 300 years without fading when stored in an archival-quality photo album.

The machine uses magenta, cyan, yellow and two black Canon MX892 ink cartridges that are tested to contribute to slightly higher running costs. Each color supply can yield only 510 pages, while the standard black PIXMA MX892 ink can last only 340 pages. The larger black Canon MX892 ink cartridge provides up to 450 sheets.

If users can look past its pricey supplies, the MX892 has a range of attractive features to benefit those that want a professional-quality photo printer with all-in-one capabilities. From an impressive front panel, to its range of connective options, this device is an ideal machine for creative home users or small offices.
