Canon Smartbase MP390 Printer Review

Expert review of the Canon Smartbase MP390 printer

Our Verdict:

A step ahead of the MP370 model, the Canon Smartbase MP390 inkjet printer now comes with standalone fax functions, making the unit an excellent choice for offices that do a lot of faxing, printing, scanning, and copying. The Canon MP390 multifunction inkjet is one of the most affordable in its line. However, it is not very frugal when it comes to ink consumption, especially with its low yielding ink cartridges. The Canon Smartbase MP390 is still an excellent upgrade, with more PC-less functions, and excellent photo-printing capabilities. It, however, lacks an ADF unit for easier multi-page scanning/faxing/copying.

Design

Probably the most stylish multifunction device ever, the Canon Smartbase MP390 PIXMA inkjet all-in-one printer has a snappy build with the flatbed scanner right on the top panel, together with the comprehensive control panel and LCD display for controlling PC-less operations. Both paper trays unfold from the rear and the centre of the machine. At full extension, the Canon Smartbase MP390 all-in-one measures 454x358x149 mm – still compact, considering it is a multifunction device. It features a USB port and an additional PictBridge port, which resides near the memory card slots. Two telephone jacks are also installed for connecting a phone or an answering machine unit.

Advantages

More than the sleek design, the Canon Smartbase MP-390 multifunction printer catches users' attention because of its high-resolution outputs that reach as high as 4800x1200 dpi. Fax comes standard with the Smartbase MP390 and fax functions can even be used without needing PC connection, along with print, scan, and copy functions. Print speeds are quite attractive , at 18 ppm and 12 ppm, and scanning time is not bad as well.

Disadvantages

The Canon Smartbase MP390 colour inkjet printer can be expensive to maintain, especially when using the print and copy functions heavily. The Canon MP390 uses low-capacity ink tanks, which means frequent replacement. Many users feel that an ADF unit can increase productivity even more.
