It is the MX330's little brother. Both printers are identical except the MX320 does not have the color lcd screen, it has a 2-line dot matrix screen. Since I do all of my editing on my computer, and can't see much on the little screen anyway, I chose to save about $40. Either printer offers great value in my humble opinion.
PROS: 1. Photo quality equal to my Canon MX830. I don't know why or how but the prints look the same. Even better if you use Canon's "VIVID" setting in the Easy Photo Print software under paper selector. 2. The scanner reproduces colors and details that are very close to original and you have the option to touch up photos after scanning. Using the ADF you can copy legal size papers. 3. The fax options are not perfect but they work. This is the first all-in-one that I've owned that I can actually leave the fax running in the back round without it interfering with phone calls on the same...Read more 226 of 242 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Canon PIXMA MX330 Inkjet All-In-One Printer (Office Product) I have a Canon MP830 multifunction printer connected to my Mac running OS X10.5.X. In many ways I find the Canon unit to be functional and more than satisfactory. I print the occasional photo and have been please with the results, although I have to admit that I am increasingly using photo printing services because the results are overall better and there is little wastage of ink, paper and time to get good results. The scanner works great and I love the sheet feeder on it. I use the fax for outgoing occasionally and it works well enough. Copier function is fine as well.
Most of us know that printer companies really sell ink to make their money, and Canon is no exception. I have long noticed that my Canon is constantly pestering me about replacing a color ink tank when I haven't been doing color printing. These tanks ain't cheap. If you buy canon inks, a 4-tank (CMYK) pack is going to set you back about $45 discounted. After being hit up by my printer for...Read more 51 of 53 people found the following review helpful: This review is from: Canon PIXMA MX330 Inkjet All-In-One Printer (Office Product) My Epson all-in-one bit the dust this week, and, after a bit of online research, I ordered a Canon MX330. It lists for 109, and I got it for 79. The MX330 doesn't include a USB2 cable, but you probably have one already from the printer you're throwing away. My primary use is as a scanner or occasional copier (I scan the page, save it as a PDF, and print it to my laser printer). Ink cartridges seem priced much more reasonably than my Epson, too. The refill cartridges are available in 2 sizes as well - a big plus.
The MX330 is VERY well packed. There's a slot for Bluetooth on the front (however THAT'S used). Software for my G5 iMac went in easily enough. It printed and scanned immediately. The first few photos were washed out in color, and the "VIVID" setting noted in the online documentation wasn't in MY print dialog box (10.5.6). After 3 prints, the colors started to look better. I recall the literature says that the cartridges will print about 350 pages -- not a heluva...Read more |
