Reviews of the Canon Pixma MP460

    CNET Review

    August 31, 2006

    The Good: Inexpensive; media card slots; PictBridge port; IrDA port; excellent print quality.

    The Bad: Color-handling problems in scans; limited paper-handling options.

    The Bottom Line: The Canon Pixma MP460 is a minor update to the MP450. We still like its print quality but were disappointed by its scans. Still, it's one of our top choices for a photo-centric budget all-in-one.

    Review Summary: The cost of the ink offsets the low price of this printer, but if you don't want print off reams of pages it's still a bargain

    Review Summary: Fully featured and sleek, the Canon certainly looks the part, and its text printing and scanning facilities are very competent. However, it lags behind the cheaper HP Photosmart C3180 when it comes to colour graphics reproduction.
