MX700 Product Tour



The networkable 5-in-1 MX700 is all business, able to quickly produce beautiful photos and bold, professional-quality text.. View larger.

Superb Resolution
To achieve 4800 x 1200 color dpi resolution, Canon Full-photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering (FINE) uses a patented print head with 1,600 precision nozzles, ejecting ink droplets as small as 2 picoliters. The result: Amazing images.

Four High-Performance Ink Tanks
This All-in-One uses four high-intensity dye-based color inks for rich photos and graphics, and a pigment black ink for clear, laser-quality text. Replace only the color that runs out, rather than a multi-color tank containing unused ink, helping to reduce your print costs.

Fast Printing
For extra productivity in the home or small office, you'll be able to produce up to 30 ppm black / up to 20 ppm color. You can also print a superb 4 x 6 inch borderless print in only about 46 seconds.

The built-in Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) holds up to 30 originals, so it's faster and easier to copy, scan or fax your larger documents.

Auto Image Fix
The built-in Auto Image Fix feature helps you produce amazing results on all your photos. First, it categorizes your images into one of five types - Portrait, Scenery, Night Scenery, Snapshot with Scenery, and Snapshot with Night Scenery - then applies optimal image correction accordingly. For example, it will automatically brighten faces that are backlit and underexposed, and correct color cast to help ensure more accurate skin tones.



Auto Image Fix ensures a good print every time.

Two Paper Trays
Two built-in paper trays let you store photo paper and plain paper of different sizes - so you're always ready to print.

5 out of 5 stars Another great product from Canon !!!   March 9, 2008

This printer is an upgrade to my Canon Pixma iP6000. The iP6000 is excellent for printing photos as well as all daily stuff. I was concerned that a multi-function printer would not print photo's as well. I was wrong!!!

This multi-function printer is as good, maybe even a little better at photos than the iP6000 was. I have only had it a couple of days, so I have not tried everything out yet. Regular print quality is excellent. Copying is great. Scanning should come out just as good as copying, but I've yet to try it. Photo printing is excellent.

If your looking at this just remember to consider its size. I don't think it's really any bigger than most other all-in-ones but it is bigger than my last printer.

I went with the MX850 for 2 reasons. (1) Networking capability and (2) Canon technology. I am very pleased with my decision!!
The set-up went without any problems at all. The first computer I hooked it up to is a desktop running XP home via USB. Installed perfectly.
Next was a laptop running Vista via network. NOTE: As instructed by the instructions you must attach the USB cable to the FIRST computer that is being installed on the network before you connect it via the network. After it is completely installed you no longer need that USB connection. It will connect via the network. Yes, my laptop is connected wirelessly. It works great!!! For any additional computers on the network all you have to do is install the software and connect it via the network. NO USB required for all additional network computers. The installation software is very easy to understand. There are only 3 install options. (1) Install to computer via dedicated USB connection. (2) Install FIRST computer on a network (must use USB this ONE time only). (3) Install additional computers on network. Thats it...

As I said it's only been a couple of days so I have yet to try everything out, but so far NO disappointments. It seems to be a very well built simple to use machine. Software seems to be running fine on XP and Vista. Not sure where the pricing will go on this unit but, Amazon dropped their price $45 only a couple days after I ordered it. I was happy at full retail, but at $235 you can't go wrong !!!

The one thing I do recommend is to use Canon photo paper when printing photos. I found that I got the best results this way. That was on the iP6000, but I'm sure the MX850 will be the same way.

Good luck with your purchase. Hope this helps a little.

EDIT:
It has been a few more days since original install.

During set-up on another computer on the network it would not install. I called tech support for help. The problem was my computer NOT the printer. Tech support was great!!!!!! They walked me through step by step checking everything till we found the problem. Canon has their support in the US and they have a dedicated department for networking. It was actually a pleasure calling them for help. Usually I hate to call for support. You never know where the call is being routed. Very nice to know you can get quick easy help if needed.
Also since I got a chance to play a little more with the printer I discovered how quick it is. I was happy with the iP6000 print speed, but the MX850 makes me realize how slow it was. I didn't time it, but it printed a 4x6 photo very quickly!! Another nice feature is the door where the paper comes out will open automatically when you print.

So far no regrets!!! Don't be afraid to call tech support if needed. They are great!



5 out of 5 stars Great product and value   April 8, 2008

I was initially going to buy an HP all-in-one (L7580, L7680, or C7280) to replace my HP OfficeJet G85, which would not scan with Vista. I was not comfortable with the HP customer reviews, though, as they confirmed some of my own doubts from seeing the products in stores. I kept looking and came across the new Canon MX850 and decided this was what I had been looking for. This product is worth the full list price, so Amazon's discount and great shipping made it an even better value.

I set up the MX850 on my home network, which includes a Linksys Wireless G router, a Vista laptop, and an XP desktop. The setup worked perfectly the first time, and all functions work flawlessly from both PCs. You use a cable connection from the MX850 to the router, but this is not a problem for my setup. I did not have to call tech support, but it appears from other reviews that it is excellent, and in English.

Print speed is excellent, and the photo quality is also excellent. I printed some photos using the sample 4x6 paper that came with the printer, and they are as good as the same photos printed by the Kodak Gallery web site. I also like the included duplex (two-sided) printing, which is extra on many other products in this price range. The control panel is well designed and intuitive. The unit seems to be solid, durable, and well-constructed.

There a few minor points for improvements. First, the Canon takes a little more overhead time than the HP OfficeJet to clean or check the print heads or ink tanks, so sometimes you wait a short while before it actually starts to print. Second, when you set up your printing specs on your PC, the specs are not communicated to the MX850, so you have to set them up there as well. For example, if you've been printing on regular paper and now you want to print photos, you have to set the paper size, paper type (glossy, etc.), and print quality on your PC and then also set them on the MX850. Third, the standard print quality for text is not quite as dark black as the HP OfficeJet, but you only notice it if they are side by side. Last, the setup process adds a ton of software to your PC, including eight new desktop icons, two system tray icons, and five new Canon folders in the start menu. None of these are real problems, just observations.

Overall, I rate this as an excellent product for price, functionality, and construction. Buy it!

Good quality printer with all that you want. Easy set up for network. They should have put the network stuff on the start up sheet instead of the USB part. The printer is promoted as networkable. However, the little book for Network Setup is well written. Controls and options are easy to understand. Nice that it has fax Distinctive Ring capabilites. That is really nice. Now I can use that service and not have to worry about missing direct faxes vs. e-Fax. Saves money. Also it manages paper very well. Good dust covers too. Beautiful color or black and white copies.

I'VE ALWAYS HAD AN HP ALL IN ONE, ACTUALLY HP HAS BEEN MY PRODUCT OF CHOICE FOR ALL PURCHASES. BASED ON REVIEWS AND ALOT OF RESEARCHING I PURCHASED THE CANON MX850. I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED. I'VE HAD IT FOR 2 DAYS PD 235.00 THAT'S A 50.00 SAVINGS FROM AMAZON. PRINTER IS QUIET AND FAST, FAX WORKS GREAT, VERY USER FRIENDLY. IT IS WIRELESS TO 2 OTHER COMPUTERS IN MY HOME. NETWORK WAS EASY TO SET UP BASED ON OTHER REVIEWERS ADVISE TO 1ST LOAD IT W/USB. I ALSO NEEDED THE FLATBED FEATURE FOR COPING BOOKS ETC. THE 5 INK TANKS SAVE $ AND IT'S CHEAPER THEN HP. I GAVE IT A 5 BECAUSE I HAVE USED MOST FEATURES AND I AM IMPRESSED. CANON'S GOT IT!

I'm extremely happy with this multifunction. I used to only buy HPs as I figured these were the only printers of high quality. Canon definitely beats HP in every respect. I'm glad I took a shot on it.

The things I like about this multifunction are:

1. It doesn't require bulky software: The software can be installed with minimal impact on your machine. It doesn't require bulky software or registry entries to allow it to run.

2. It scans quickly and efficiently, as well as in duplex. I had always wanted to convert my office to paperless. This multifunction scans fairly quickly and allows you to set a stack of documents into the feeder without a consistent fear of paper jams.

3. It quickly and easily removes canceled print jobs or paper jams. It doesn't make you wait a half hour while it figures out what it's going to do.

4. It networks easily with a little network utility.

So much more I can say about this machine, but needless to say, I will never buy another HP again. I'm onto Canons now.
