Canon PIXMA MP830 Multi-Function Printer Review

With simple multi-function machines available for well under £100, it’s legitimate to ask what extra value you get my paying over £200 for the high-end PIXMA MP830 from Canon. The specifications give some of it away, with things like duplex printing and duplex scanning from the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF), a paper cassette as well as a paper tray and direct printing from memory cards and PictBridge cameras. There’s more to it than just specification, though, as the machine itself has a quality finish in black and silver with inset green indicators.

The extras on offer from this multi-function device are useful, though duplex print is a bit of a let down, because of its poor speed. Even so, the PIXMA MP830 feels like a proper piece of office equipment, rather than a light use, home-office device. A little pricey to print colour on, but overall, a useful all-in-one.
