Canon Pixma MP610

Canon continues the good work and delivers another winner with the MP610.
A List Recommended
Canon’s Pixma range has always scored highly in PC Authority. The MP610 is the replacement to the previously-A-Listed MP600. Wisely, Canon has left much of the original alone – the print engine and scanner both offer identical quality output.

For the scanner, this is merely good news, rather than great, as the output remains underwhelming – fine for text and photocopying, but not good enough for backing up photos. Luckily, print quality is near-perfect.

Text is rendered with laser-like precision, and 6 x 4in prints emerge at a rate of one every 52 seconds, with the kind of colour reproduction you’d expect from
a professional lab.

Our only complaint is that Canon still hasn’t addressed the longevity of its inks which can fade more than competitors’ equivalents if left in direct sunlight. But even so the MP610 remains a fabulous buy.

 I'm looking into buying this printer. Does anyone know if the ink is good value in terms of pricing? I hate spending a fortune on ink.

Review Score 4 out of 6

A great printer for the road with a microscopic footprint, but average performance holds it back from greatness.

Review Score 4 out of 6

Lacklustre colour quality, but good speed and value for money make the K8600 a contender if you like blowing things up to A3 size
