Canon Pixma MP540 Ink Cartridges

Canon Pixma MP540 Printer Description

Compact and capable of delivering premium quality photo printing, the Canon Pixma MP540 also includes an Easy-Scroll Wheel, PictBridge and memory card slots.

Benefitting from five individual inks, the MP540 can print, copy and scan. Additionally, there is also a 2400dpi scanner.

Increased media flexibility can be enjoyed as a result of the printer having two paper trays. This means that both plain paper and photo paper can be loaded. The memory card slots available allow for printing directly from a digital camera.

A Quick-Start feature will have you printing in just a few seconds whilst there is also a self-opening paper tray that will automatically open in the event that you press print before opening the tray yourself.

In terms of scanning, the MP540 benefits from a 2400 x 4800dpi and there is an Auto Scan Mode that automatically recognises the document or image you’re attempting to scan before selecting the relevant settings automatically.

Canon Pixma MP540 Expert Review

Home users will certainly appreciate the flip-up LCD screen that’s included with the Canon Pixma MP540 adding to its stylish build quality.

Mobile printing is possible using this printer whilst there is the added bonus of being able to print from memory cards. This will be welcome news for those looking to use PictBridge compatibility to print off their favourite photographs.

A print resolution of 9600 x 2400dpi ensures that prints are of a high standard whether you prefer to print text documents or photographs.

There is a 150-sheet paper capacity that could be suitable for a home office environment but it’s as a home-use printer where the MP540 performs excellently.

Auto duplexing is unavailable which will go against it for business use although there are plenty of features to satisfy a family or even a university student.

Pros

• Mobile printing connectivity
• PictBridge Compatibility
• Easy to use

• No auto duplex facility
