Canon Pixma MP499 Printer Review

Expert review of the Canon Pixma MP499 printer

Our Verdict:

Apart from straightforward printing, the Canon Pixma MP499 is integrated with a colour copier and scanner, making it efficient for a small office as well as household use. Delivering high quality photo prints, this multifunction printer boasts wireless connectivity, so printing via Wi-Fi is easier. However, despite the slight improvement on the speed, Canon forgot to add crucial features such as Ethernet and the memory card reader, limiting the connectivity of the Pixma MP499 to USB and Wi-Fi.

Design

The Canon Pixma MP499 is a compact all-in-one device with a 7 segment LCD display to and an intuitive control panel. It weights 5.6 Kg and features a flatbed CIS colour scanner with a resolution of 1200x2400dpi. This Wi-Fi ready solution is compatible with non-PC devices, including the iPad, iPod touch, iPhone, Android devices, and Sony Playstation 3, enabling you to do full HD movie prints.

Advantages

The colour copier is quite fast, producing good quality output in 26 seconds. Designed for photography enthusiasts, the Canon Pixma MP499 is packed with features for user-friendly photo editing and printer management. Black text comes out crisp, and photo quality can be manually adjusted if you do not want over-saturated images. Windows 7 users as well as those using newer versions of Mac will not have difficulty installing this printer.

Disadvantages

The lack of a memory card reader and Ethernet makes the Canon Pixma MP499 inefficient for people who want to use non-WiFi devices. The LCD screen is not enough for displaying settings and menu options, so routine tasks like cleaning the print head and printing test pages requires the activation of the printer driver through your computer. Replacement black inks are expensive, too, making the Canon Pixma MP499 pricey to run. The print speed of 8 ppm in monochrome and 4 ppm in colour is certainly not the best in the market.
