What You Should Know about the Pixma MP760 All-In-One Printer (25 PPM, 4800x1200 DPI, Color, PC/Mac)

Duplex Printing a Must for Busy Offices

A printer with duplex capability contains an internal mechanism for turning the paper over to print on the other side. (This is not to be confused with the manual duplexing that some printers offer, where driver software walks you through the process of turning over the paper yourself.) Any high-volume office should seriously consider this feature. The duplexing process slows down your print job a bit, but it also immediately cuts your paper use in half -- good for your budget, good for the environment.

User Reviews for Canon Pixma MP760 All-In-One Printer (25 PPM, 4800x1200 DPI, Color, PC/Mac)

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Fast. Easy install.

    Weaknesses: Large footprint. Flimsy rear paper holder.

    Overall Evaluation: After much research, I ordered oe of these printer as a gift for my college bound niece. When It arrived, I was green with envy. I ordered one for myself and I am really enjoying it. Very fast prints with no smudging. Excellent scans. The rear paper tray seems a bit flimsy, but it has a tray/drawer underneath as well. This is my third Canon printer and I wouldn't think of any other brand. Its not a laser and it won't print CD/DVD. That's about the only bad thing I can say.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Excellent photo prints. Media slots make for easy printing directly from the memory cards.

    Weaknesses: No fax capabilities. Solid software package is included and very easy to use but performs a bit slowly.

    Overall Evaluation: This is one of the best all-in-one printers for sale right now. It does a fantastic job at printing photos, which it was meant to do. If Canon combined the features of the MP780 and MP760 they would put the competition to shame. Best of all the price of this unit is quite reasonable.
