Canon PIXMA™ MP500 All-In-One InkJet Printer

Wow, I can't say enough about this printer. I've tried Lexmark, HP, Dell, and now my second Canon - and THIS THING BEATS all.

PROS: It exceeds all my expectations - automatic 2 sided printing, card reader, super fast printing, AMAZING PHOTO printing... and the list goes on. Maximum DPI is 9600 X 2400. I actually SCANNED a professional photo that we had taken and printed off a copy on Canon photo paper and it looked even BETTER than the original. Our home photos that we print off look professional themselves. This thing is awesome. I love the 2 paper trays - I put my 8.5 x 11's in one tray and 4 x 6 photos in the other. No need to switch back and forth. And this thing prints FAST. I am able to refill the cartridges without any hassle and this is a HUGE plus for me. AND FOR around $150 - I haven't been able to find it cheaper anywhere. I'm returning my HP1510 that I just bought from bestbuy. THIS THING IS GREAT!!

CONS: It's big - but I like it like that - I have no need to save space. If you want to buy refill cartridges, you'll probably spend at least $65.00 for the 5 cartridges.

TIP: Make sure you get good quality photo paper to print your photos. This makes all the difference. My favorite has become the Canon Photo Paper PLUS Glossy. It isn't the most expensive of the Canon papers, but I have found it to be the actual best overall.
