We need a new printer

Shopping around for a new printer!
The Brother MFC served us well until the black print head stuffed up :-(
Looks like Canon is the way to go this time...MX or MP series ???

These days I print mainly photo stuff, 6x4 and some A4 so the MP640 looks good:

 



 

However, we still have a need to copy, scan and ocassionally FAX.

The MX870 uses the same print setup as the MP640 (1 picolitre droplets):

 

 

 

Photos should come the same and I don't need CD/DVD printing.

Not printing black :-)

Looks like the printhead has dried out.

  • Mouse pad with three port USB hub and card reader
  • Reads SD/MMC cards
  • USB 2.0 speed
  • Blue illuminated edge

  • I think this was marked down to $9.99. Works well on my elderly Dell dual processor workstation which has only two rear USB ports.

    Another new toy for kitties.
