Canon Pixma MP160 Specifications

By Felisa Yang, CNET.com on 08/09/2006

More Canon reviews , RRP: AU$89.00

The good:

  • Inexpensive
  • Excellent prints
  • PictBridge port

The bad:

  • Subpar scanning
  • Dearth of features
  • Lacks media card slots

The bottomline:

The entry-level Canon Pixma MP160 is a decent all-in-one printer for the price, but don't be tempted by the entry-level machine: the Pixma MP180 costs a mere AU$20 more and provides the same print quality and a ton more features.
