Canon Pixma MP560 Ink Cartridges

Canon Pixma MP560 Printer Description

The Canon Pixma MP560 is an advanced all-in-one aimed at home and small office users wanting a machine that can print, copy and scan to an extremely high standard.

For home office users, the auto duplexing feature will mean that savings can be made on the amount spent on paper by printing on both sides of the page.

Ideal for home users, this advanced Wi-Fi All-In-One has the wireless connectivity options that will let you print documents and photos straight from a computer without needing to connect via a cable. For added convenience, individual ink tanks can minimise wastage.

In terms of the speed at which the printer can operate, ISO ESAT speeds of 9.2ipm for mono documents and 6.0ipm for colour are offered.

Intuitive usability can be found in the device’s Easy-Scroll Wheel. This will help users preview images using a 5cm colour display.

Printing information from the internet is made simple thanks to Easy-WebPrint EX which is software enabling users to clip, edit and print various web “clippings”. There is also Scene Analysis and Face Detection technology that can eliminate problems such as red eye.

Canon Pixma MP560 Expert Review

There’s little doubt that the Canon Pixma MP560 is a good-looking machine for the home with an intuitive flip screen that can help users easily navigate through the printing, copying and scanning options available.

As is the case with many Pixma printers, this model has the connectivity options that can allow for wireless and mobile printing; a plus point for those looking to print from various rooms in the home.

There is also high quality photo printing that can be enjoyed by home users who’ll appreciate the 9600 x 2400dpi print resolution that contributes to prints looking vibrant and lab quality.

A two-way paper feed is certainly something that will impress business users and if you add to that the auto duplexing functionality, you end up with a printer that can easily be used to fulfil the printing needs of a small or home office.

Another “office option” is the high quality scanner that has MP Navigator EX software to give OCR and PDF editing features.

When it comes to value for money, the MP560 is very good in that it has functions that can see you use less paper whilst the five-ink system will mean you only need to replace the ink that’s been used. There are other devices that can provide better speeds, but this is still a machine that users in a home or office will appreciate.
