Canon Pixma MP620 Reviews

Total Rating: 8 of 10

Summary of review published by Laptop Magazine — January, 2009

Rated 4 of 5


In the realm of multifunction color inkjet printers, the Pixma MP620 from Canon stands ahead of the pack. The front panel has a central jog wheel surrounded by arrow buttons. A number of buttons, some of which are dynamic function keys, fill out the panel. Also, the MP620 has a 2.5-inch LCD display. The printer has a separate inkjet print head and individual ink tanks, leading to less consumables cost. The print head is guaranteed for life as well, should it fail. It lacks an automatic document feeder and fax features. It has a 9-in-1 card reader as well as a USB port on the front, though it does not support direct printing from a USB drive. It has a built-in support for 802.11b/g wireless network connections and an Ethernet port. During testing, the MP620 averaged 5.9 pages per minute and took just 57 seconds to print a 4 x 6 photo over wireless. Via USB, it was 5.9 ppm for a five-page document and 59 seconds for a 4 x 6 photo. Scanning is a brisk 20 seconds per page, and copying took 39 seconds per page. Quality of photo prints was above average and color gradients were excellent. If you are looking for an all-around printer, the Pixma MP620 will certainly get the job done, fast.
Pros:
-fast printing and scanning
-good document and photo quality
-separate ink tanks
-holds plain paper and photo paper simultaneously

Cons:
-confusing front panel controls
-no automatic document feeder
-can’t print directly from USB
