Product Description

With the compact PIXMA MP170 Photo All-In-One, you'll be amazed at what you can accomplish. Right at home, you can easily print high-quality photos and text, copy important documents, and scan your photos and other images. One key to its impressive printing performance: Canon Full-photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering (FINE) uses an innovative print head with 1,472 nozzles that eject consistent, precise ink droplets as small as 2 picoliters. More nozzles + higher accuracy = better photos. This patented technology produces an outstanding resolution of up to 4800 x 1200 color dpi1, for superb detail and photo-realism. You won't wait long for the results; printing a beautiful photo lab quality 4"x 6" borderless photo takes approximately 55 seconds.

What about copying? For improved performance, AE (Auto Exposure) Copy feature automatically optimizes reproduction quality based on the type of original you're duplicating. Whether you're copying your photos, text documents or a mix of both, the MP170 Photo All-In-One automatically adjusts the exposure to give you the best output possible. When scanning your photos or graphics, you'll produce high-quality reproductions of up to 1200 dpi with vibrant 48-bit color depth. Plus, the USB 2.0 Hi-Speed3 interface accelerates the process, enabling the fastest possible image transfers and scanning speeds.

This versatile All-In-One's built-in card slots let you print directly from a variety of memory cards. Just insert the card and generate a photo index sheet that lets you choose your prints, pick their size and set the number of copies. Once filled out, the index sheet is scanned and the selected images will begin to print! You can also print directly from your PictBridge compatible digital camera or DV camcorder. Just connect and print! Copy photos and documents with versatile copy functions Scan quickly and easily with USB 2.0 Hi-Speed

very nice.......2007-01-08

I bought this item on Amazon refurbished in Dec 2006 and saved a bunch of money (it cost me about one third of the current going rate).

SCANNING
It replaced an old flatbed scanner. The Canon scans great; very fast. The software is easy to use, and allows you to set various features for the kind of doc you're scannig. I scan my doc's to PDF files. Although you have to feed one sheet at a time, it scans fast, so it keeps things moving. For home use, it's great. And you can save the scanned images as individual PDFs, or multiple pages as one PDF, or add pages to a PDF later. Very nice.

COPYING
It copies very well too. Although I don't use it much for copying, it does come in handy every now and then. I really like how I can control the copy quality, which means that I can save on cartridge costs. The software controls are very easy, as are the unit controls.

PRINTING
It works great as a printer too. Although I try to keep most of my doc's electronic, so I don't print too much.

DIGITAL CAMERAS
There is a front USB that you can use to plug-in your camera to print photos. Great feature, if you like to print photos

SUMMARY
I am very happy with the MP170. I paid a great price and got a great product. It does not come with a USB, but no big deal; I had a webcam cable that I wasn't using, so I didn't have to buy one. The USB end that plugs into the PC is the regular plug, but the plug that connects to the back of the printer is square shaped. I highly recommend this printer for home users. Enjoy!

Beats HP .......2006-10-23

I was a low-end HP inkjet customer, for several printers. My last HP had mechanical issues after only a couple years of infrequent use. I nursed it along and when it fianlly gave out I went looking for something else. The MP-170 has exceeded all expectations; ease of use, utilities, and speed. The scanner has proven more useful than I thought it would. I've had this about a year, it's been great.

Good in many ways but also disappointing picture printing.......2006-09-28

I switched from an Epson when it stopped printing color properly, and I wanted a multi function inkjet for home use. Although I have liked my previous 2 Epsons, I decided against Epson because of a ribbon problem that occurs in various models (which happened to my husband's machine.) I also decided against HP because many consumer reviews mentioned paper jamming. Canon has very good reviews with Consumer Reports and on Amazon, and the price is very good.
I liked the size, the price, the multifunction and the easy to use interface (software and hardware) of the 170. However when I printed color and especially color photos, I was very disappointed. The edges of the image are very blurry as though the ink runs. I thought it was my digital image, but I tried printing the image using my husband's Epson C82, and it was night and day. The Epson image was nice and sharp with absolutely no problem. I am glad I didn't waste much time digitally fixing the image.

I print a lot of photos around Xmas time. I really cannot use this printer to print photos at all.

I have been usually very happy with all Canon products I own (2 excellent cameras and 1 scanner.)Perhaps the 4xx or 8xx models are better (based on Consumer Report), but they have a larger footprint than my desk can take.

Canon PIXMA MP170 All-In-One Photo Printer Excellent.......2006-07-25

Easy setup, fast text printing, reasonable scanning/copying ... for the price, way exceeded my expectations for photo printing ... on good paper photos are very high quality! A great, bargain printer!

canon printer.......2006-07-15

I am really happy with this printer. I have now had it for about 6 weeks. No problems so far. I think the printing quality for photos is great. I read the other reviews, which said that the photo quality left something to be desired, and I disagree. My only criticism is that it uses ink fast, so if you buy it, buy some ink refills at the same time. It seems to use up the color ink more quickly than the black. I also love the fact that it has a copier, which works great.

Customer Reviews:

Easy to use and good printing quality.......2006-03-20

We've had this printer for about two months and are very happy with it. The printing quality is excellent. It scans beautifully, easily and fairly quickly. Photocopying (especially color) is a bit on the slow side, but definitely tolerable, and the quality is better than on a regular photocopying machine. Plus, the computer doesn't need to be on to utilize the photocopying function.

The best thing about this printer is its ink costs. My personal philosophy about printers is that ink costs come before anything else. Otherwise, you end up spending way more on ink than on the printer itself. No matter how great a printer is, I will not buy it if ink prices aren't reasonable. Well, the ink this printer uses is extremely cheap (just compare it to Lexmark or HP ink), especially if you buy generic inks as I do. (BTW, my philosophy on generic inks is the same as on ink costs - even if it's true that they eventually ruin the printer, the money I save using them is far more than the price of a new printer. You make your own calculations depending on your printing needs and habits.)

In short, it's nice to have a dependable all-in-one machine that does the job efficiently and without fuss. I have a friend whom I recommended this printer to, and she is also very happy with it. In general, I have had good experiences with Canon in the past, and plan to stick with them so long as they continue to produce high-quality printers and their inks remain more affordable than that of their competition.
