I recently purchased a Canon Pixma MP-210 inkjet printer to replace an Epson CX-4800. My daughters also have a Canon Pixma MP-210 and they have been extremely pleased with it, so I thought I’d follow suit and purchase one.

My daughters are photographers and have needed to print some of their work for art shows. When I saw the quality of the photographs from their Pixma, I was pleasantly shocked! The colors were bright and vivid, they were sharp and clear. Its ability to produce excellent quality photographs is what I like the best about this printer. I had the opportunity to purchase a newer Canon model but opted to purchase the MP-210 just because of the quality I’ve seen from my daughters’ printer.

I do feel that the ink is a bit more expensive than in other printers, but if it is going to give me the quality I expect, it may be well worth it. I am using it primarily for making regular copies, however, I will use it for photographs as well. It also doesn’t have an ‘enlarge’ feature. I would have liked to have had that feature on a printer.

The printer is a bit, ‘clunky’ in design, not as sleek as I would have liked to see in a printer, but if it does a good job, I can live with it. However, it is FAST and that makes up for its aesthetic flaw. I do think that it is going to fulfill my needs, especially with printing photographs.

On a scale of 1-5, I’d have to rank it as a 4. If it were sleek in design, it would have gotten a 5 rating from me.
