While I normally don’t do product reviews on this blog, this one warranted it. For 10 years, I’ve owned HP printers…everything from low end throw away units to more expensive office printers. I’ve always been unsatisfied with the overall quality of both the hardware and software, but I could never find a suitable alternative. Well now I’ve found one.
Over the weekend, my latest HP all-in-one printer, scanner, fax died. I did some research and found Canon has a great product. As an amateur photograph, I’ve always been happy with Canon’s cameras and photographic software. So I purchased the Canon PIXMA MX330 Inkjet All-In-One Printer which is on sale at Amazon and Staples for less than $70. It’s normally $149. For the price it’s amazing…great speed, well made, easy to open, and it’s easy to change ink. It even has a mini LCD color screen. Most importantly their software does not crash my Microsoft Office applications like HP did.
I hear it’s not the best printer for very high resolution photographic prints, but as a general office or home office printer, it’s a very good buy.
