Reviews of the PIXMA MP960 Photo All-In-One Printer

    CNET Review

    November 30, 2006

    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.

    Review Summary: Though a little larger than most inkjet MFPs, the Canon Pixma MP960 is Mac-friendly and quick and easy to set up. To ensure proper installation, the MP960's ink-cartridge head contains small lights for each ink color, which illuminate when a cartridge ...
