Canon Pixma MP460 Specifications

By Felisa Yang on 12/06/2007

More Canon reviews , RRP: AU$149.00

The good:

  • Inexpensive
  • Media card slots
  • PictBridge port
  • IrDA port
  • Excellent print quality

The bad:

  • Colour-handling problems in scans
  • Limited paper-handling options

The bottomline:

The Canon Pixma MP460 is a minor update to the MP450. We still like its print quality but were disappointed by its scans. Still, it's one of our top choices for a photo-centric budget all-in-one.
