Ab Work Outs: Canon PIXMA MP250 Inkjet Photo All-in-one Printer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am sure you have come across situations wherein your child says "Dad - I need to print this report for my school project now!And my printer is not working? "

The same thing happened for me over this last weekend, I took a look at my daughter's printer and found that her old LEXMARK printer was out of ink. Off I go to the local electronics store and search for the ink cartridge replacement and shocked to see the sticker price for INK

Some searching I stumbled across this Canon PIXMA MP250 for $29.00 (On Sale) at local Fry's Electronics, I said to myself - it sure is better than buying ink cartridges and I get a free flat bed scanner!

Canon PIXMA MP250 turned out to be a nice printer, it does its job well and it is a "real steal" when it comes to the price.

PROS:

[+]Low initial cost easily affordable
[+]Prints in color and B/W with ease
[+]Decent Color photos possible
[+]Includes a Flat Bed color scanner copier!
[+]Compact and attractive lookingCONS:

[-]Noisy at times
[-]Takes a while to Initialize
[-]Ink reservoirs are small

I think this printer is worth buying especially when "on-sale" as it seems better to buy a new printer than buying replacement ink cartridges. When the ink runs out, I will buy another printer instead of paying money for replacement cartridges.

Bear it in mind that this is not a heavy duty printer, It is generally on the slow side when it prints, But good enough for school kids for most of their tasks.

[Other thoughts]
If printer manufactures think that they can make money buy embedding chips so that people cannot refill their otherwise good ink cartridges and sell ink cartridges at a premium price - Think again - I am sure that there are others like me who do not mind buying a printer itself rather than buying replacement cartridges.

Canon makes good printers, PIXMA MP250 is no exception. Worth every penny! Thank you Canon!
