Canon Pixma MP160: Compare prices

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.

      Students on a budget should consider the X4650, but only against the vast raft of other MFDs on the market.

      The Brother MFC-7440N prints quickly and is fairly inexpensive to sustain, but we simply can't get behind a printer with poor quality graphics, significant hardware defects, and a boring design.

      It's a step back in the style stakes, but there's still plenty to like about Lexmark's latest small office wireless printer.

      HP Photosmart C8180

      The C8180 multifunctional printer is an excellent choice for photo enthusiasts. It prints high-quality text and photos at a heavy price: the printer is slow. If you always choose quality over speed, the C8180 will be a worthwhile addition to your digital toolshed.

      The Kodak ESP 3 comes with great software for editing photos and applying touch-ups to portraits, but printer software is only as good as the physical results, and the print quality isn't nearly up to current industry standards. Your money would be much better spent on alternative multifunction printers.
