Canon added to its already burgeoning line of All-in-One photo printers on Monday with an affordable duo of machines. The Pixma MP480 and MP190 come in under $100 and offer printing, scanning and copying in one machine.
The MP480 gets a full-color 1.8-inch LCD screen, which helps users navigate an array of onboard editing options. For instance, Auto Photo Fix will automatically pick out common defects from scanned photos such as red eye and correct them, while Auto Scan Mode will detect the type of document being scanned, automatically crop it, and save it. On the print side, it deliver 20 pages per minute in black and white, or 16 in color, and handles 4 x 6 prints in about 45 seconds.
The lower-priced MP190 has no LCD, but offers 4800 x 1200 dpi resolution and prints 4 x 6 photos in about 70 seconds. It also has Canon’s Advanced Z-Lid for scanning bulky items and holding them down firmly.
The MP480 retails for $99.99, while the MP190 has been even further tailored to the budget user with a price of $69.99. Both are available immediately.
