Canon PIXMA MP950 Photo Printer Review
|
Review Summary
Reader Score: 7.67 (out of 10)
Review: "With its $399.99 MP950, Canon has rethought the printer game, producing a rather large box that includes not just a printer but a copier and a scanner, too. Also included is a card reader and PictBridge port. And a generous 3.6-inch color LCD panel lets you run the whole thing without turning on your computer. Built-in intelligence automatically corrects red eye, sharpness and brightness values (or you can fine tune them yourself). Canon has built a photo lab into this box.
The MP950 also distinguishes itself by refusing to make compromises on quality. The ink system is Canon's finest, the new ChromaLife100 set, so the printer can produce photo prints that rival the dedicated photo printers in Canon's line-up. The 3200-dpi scanner handles not only reflective copy but transparencies, too (and well-designed film holders are included). The copier reduces to 25 percent and enlarges to 400 percent and does it in faithfully reproduced color from either reflective or transparent material."

| "Ink jet–based AIOs that cost more than about $350 tend to fall into one of two categories. They are either clearly aimed at office use, with an automatic document feeder and standalone fax capability, or they're heavily photocentric and aimed at home use. The Canon Pixma MP950 Photo All-In-One ($449.99 direct) falls squarely in the second category. There's no automatic document feeder or fax capability, but it offers a transparency adapter for scanning slides and negatives, and it lets you print photos directly from PictBridge cameras, memory cards, slides, film, or photographic prints.
Photo quality is among the best we've yet seen for an ink jet–based AIO, with most photos qualifying as true photo quality. The only thing keeping the MP950 from an excellent rating was a visible tint in monochrome photos, which won't be an issue if you print only color photos. It's also worth mentioning that Canon claims a 30-year lifetime for photos framed behind glass, and a 100-year lifetime for photos in an archival-quality photo album." |
