Reviews of the PIXMA MP960 Photo All-In-One Printer
-
CNET Review
The Good: Fast prints; high-quality text, graphics, and photo prints; built-in duplexer; loads of image-enhancement options; capable of batch negative/slide scans.
The Bad: Scan quality needs to be improved; PictBridge port can't double as USB port; no built-in networking; expensive.
The Bottom Line: If you have the money to burn, the Canon Pixma MP960 is a great choice for photo hobbyists who need fast prints and great print quality. We prefer this model to its comparably priced competition.
