The Canon Smartbase MP700 is one of the best all-in-one machines from Canon, and is best suited to users looking for a multifunction machine with excellent focus on photo printing. The Smartbase MP700 photo inkjet multifunctional offers improved print speeds at 22 ppm and 14 ppm for black and white and colour outputs. PC-less functions are retained, giving users the liberty to access functions without the need for a computer. The Canon Smartbase MP700 even has several media slots for direct printing from memory cards. The MP700 photo printer, however, does not offer fax capabilities nor does it have an ADF for easier multi-page scanning/copying.
Design
The Canon Smartbase MP700 photo printer measures approximately 17x19x10 inches and weighs about 24 pounds – small and lightweight enough to fit any desktop. It features a flatbed scanner that can produce images with 1200x2400 dpi quality, while the printer mechanism uses the brand's advanced MicroFine Droplet technology, which is known to reduce graininess for crisper, clearer photos. The Canon Smartbase MP-700 multifunction printer even features slots for CompactFlash, MemoryStick, Smart Media, Secure Digital, and MultiMedia Cards for PC-less printing.
Advantages
One of the best components of the Canon Smartbase MP700 inkjet printer is its complete operation panel, which features all the controls to simplify all printing, scanning and copy commands. USB comes as standard connection, which makes data transfer between the printer and any Mac or Windows computer faster. Copy and print speeds are about the same at 22 ppm and 14 ppm. The Canon MMP700 digital photo all-in-one excels in photo printing, producing immaculate borderless prints in various sizes including A4.
Disadvantages
The Canon Smartbase MP700 all-in-one printer, however, does not have fax capabilities. The MP700 inkjet printer is not equipped with a network/Ethernet interface either, which makes it harder to set-up in a shared printer environment.
