Canon Releases Four New All-in-Ones
On the same day that they released three new PIXMA inkjet printers, Canon also released three new all-in-one printers. The new models are the PIXMA MP530, PIXMA MP460, PIXMA MP180 and the PIXMA MP160. These new machines feature some sleek designs (see the picture below) and some new technology, including Canon’s Dual Color Gamut Processing Technology for improved copies. No idea what that means.
PIXMA MP530 - seems to be the next step after the popular MP830. This model will retail at $200 and will feature an automatic document feeder along with two separate black ink cartridges. This is the most expensive of the four new all-in-ones, as it is geared more towards business users.
PIXMA MP460 - a $130 photo printer which has a resolution up to 4800 x 1200 color dpi, can produce ink drops as small as two picoliters, and can print a 4 x 6 picture in just under a minute. It also features direct printing from cameras and memory cards. In other words, it’s exactly like every other mid-range photo printer on the market.
PIXMA MP180 - a $100 photo all-in-one. There really isn’t much to say about this model, other than that it is rated at 22 pages per minute for black, which isn’t bad for a Canon all-in-one that’s this cheap.
PIXMA MP160 - the bargain of the bunch at $90, which is about as cheap as Canon gets for a new printer. It looks to be basically the same as the MP180, only Canon doesn’t mention printing full-size pictures in the description for this printer.
Canon also announced the release of a new type of paper, their Photo Paper Plus Semi-Gloss. This paper “provides a warm luster or pearl finish that closely resembles a traditional retail print.” Neat.

PIXMA all in ones are a good thing to have in an office. Most offices require a scanner and a copier. Its almost out of bounds when it comes to buying separate machines for scanning, copying and printing. PIXMA is the right solution for small and medium offices where the budgets are tight and the demands sky high. As far as i know, Canon products are low on maintenance and highly reliable too. I remember using the Canon all in one to do a 4 hour job. It worked well and didnt slow the PC. I think it’s a good choice for buyers.

These four all-in-one releases from Canon has Full Photo Lithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering (FINE) technology in it. I think these special four all-in-one facility will be a boon for the medium scale companies with limited capital and unlimited desires.
