The Canon Pixma MP640 is not only a solid inkjet printer capable of printing photos, but it is a copier and scanner too. With a very compact size of 17.8×14.5×6.9 inches, you will easily be able to fit it into your home, and its weight of 19.4 pounds will make it a synch to move. It has the ability to connect via USB, ethernet or Wi-Fi connection. The MP640 also offers printing directly from flash memory sticks, like SD Memory Card, CompactFlash,, MicroSD, USB flash drive and IBM Microdrive sticks, among others.
It can copy impressively 99 duplicates from an original document, and it offers reduction and enlargement from 25%-100%. Automatic duplex printing comes standard, and copying and printing high resolutions can be obtained. For black-and-white prints resolutions of 600×600 dpi are standard, while 9600×2400 dpi are standard for color prints. Envelopes, plain paper and photo paper are all supported, and up to 300 sheets can fit in the machine’s input tray.
Most who use the Canon Pixma MP640 rave about the product. One of the most praised features is its ability to print directly on CDs and DVDs, which is a rarity. Setup is simple, according to users, and the machine creates little noise. All around, consumers praise the MP640 for how wonderfully it prints documents, especially photos. It’s also been applauded for being fast, and its Wi-Fi feature is a big hit. The only real complaints are print jams that come often and the small amount of ink inside the Pixma MP640 ink cartridges.
If you are worried about the cost of ink cartridges over time, keep in mind that remanufactured versions of the printer ink are available from third party vendors. Third party vendors sell the same replacement ink for only a fraction of the price, reducing the cost of maintaining your printer sometimes up to a half!
