PIXMA MP970 Highlights


1pl Technology

Picolitre size

The size of the ink droplets can vary, and it is this that you quite often see quoted in printer specifications as a Pico litre rating (pl). The Smaller the nozzle jet, the tinier the ink drop, so the more detailed the print image will be.


7 Single Inks

Ink tanks/Cartridges

To minimise ink wastage and protect the environment, Canon’s Single Ink system uses transparent, individually replaceable single colour ink tanks. Each tank incorporates an LED that flashes slowly to indicate when ink is low, or rapidly when the tank is empty. To ensure hassle-free installation, the LED also indicates when a tank is incorrectly installed.


Easy Scroll Wheel

Scroll Wheel

The Easy-Scroll Wheel is rotated to operate the printer and make selections from the menu, displayed on a high quality colour TFT screen.


Auto Duplex Print

Auto Duplex

Built-in Auto Duplex printing capability is compatible with photo paper as well as plain paper feeding from both Rear Tray and Cassette.


Quick Start

Quick Start

No more waiting around; Quick Start gets you going in an instant. Switch on your PIXMA, and start printing or copying in as little as 4 seconds!


DVD/CD Print

CD/DVD Printing

Built-in tray guide assures easy handling. Precise, fast, high-quality direct printing on DVD/CD media can be ready just with a tray.


Auto Image Fix

Auto Image Fix

Not every photo is perfect; that’s why Canon introduces Auto Image Fix.  It automatically analyses your photo, and then enhances skin tones, colour contrasts and saturations. Simply scan, and edit them with the easy-to-use software.  Then reprint them to share with family and friends.


Memory Card

Memory Card Compatibility

Digital photographs can be printed quickly and easily simply by inserting memory cards into the card slot. Most of the memory cards in the market are supported.


A4 Approx. 31 Sec. Colour Copy

Colour Copy

A4 document colour copy speed. The advanced copy technology gives faithful colour reproduction on plain papers as well. Deliver high speed copy with beautiful photos and texts.


Scan CCD 4800 x 9600 dpi

Scan

Scanner Optical Resolution: The CCD or CIS systems of flat-bed scanning are used in all-in-one models. Achieved maximum resolution of 4800 (horizontal) x 9600 (vertical) dpi. 4800dpi resolution delivers good colour scans. Scan straight to PC, email or PDF. MP Navigator EX software makes every stage of operation easier, from image search to PDF document editing. Scan your existing photo prints and re-print them to share the duplicates with family and friends, or scan faded photos and bring them back to life with the easy-to-use software. Also includes adaptor to enable scanning of 35mm slides/film.


ChromaLife 100

ChromaLife 100

5.0 out of 5 stars very good printer 1 May 2008
The prints quality are perfect. I made a photocopy of a a4 photo and printed it on an A4 glossy paper, the print out picture was so perfect you couldn't tell the difference between the original & the copy (it was a color photo), very impressive. I actually bought this multifunctional printer to print photos, and the photo quality is also perfect. It came with lots of more features which is a bonus. Its super quiet and very fast about 35 second for a photo prints. It's a pretty big printer, but its also a scanner ect. And you don't need to have it connected to a pc to do a photocopy and print out photos. It is as it says professional quality printer. Another thing is the printer doesn't use alot of ink for the actual prints which is remarkable because the prints are perfect. it's abit pricey but for everything it does i believe its good value for money.

4.0 out of 5 stars Really pleased 22 April 2008
I read the reviews on here before ordering. When I came to setup the printer on my LAN I was very surprised at how easy it was - I really do not know why the other reviewer had any problems at all. The manual explained it very well, the only annoying thing is that you cannot configure the IP address from the printers panel, you need a USB lead (not included) and to install a utility on the PC.
Also, you DO NOT need to have a PC switched on. I can easily print from my wireless laptop over the wired LAN (ie printer wired to router/hub).
The only downside is the physical size, it isn't small - check the dimensions (I didn't and it came as a bit of a shock)
The manuals are thick as they cover 16 languages with around 40 pages per language. They will not be featuring on my shelves.
Haven't found any information on the true cost of printing but a colleague said that Canon are fairly good ... here's hoping!
I would recommend this printer.

Print quality is great, as good as the photo lab I used to go to. The software is easier to use than previous versions. Many functions can be used without the pc. No linux drivers to speak of yet. It is not nearly as ink hungry as my previous printers.
1 problem though. It is Huge!!!! Its the mp610 on anabolic steroids. It will not fit on or near my desk. I fixed that with the the bu-20 bluetooth dongle. It now has its own place 10m away.

It works better than i expected aside from it's size.
