Top Canon Pixma MP610 Photo Printer Reviews

Trusted Reviews wrote a review on the Canon Pixma MP610 and said: "Print quality from the PIXMA MP610 is very good, with black print coming through clear and strong and with very little feathering. Graphics print is also well reproduced, with even black print over coloured backgrounds looking clean and well registered. Our photo test prints showed smooth colour gradations in the sky and fine detail in the foreground of the image. There was plenty of detail in darker, shadowed areas, too."

Canon Pixma MP610 News Release Summary:
Canon U.S.A. Expands its Award-Winning Photo All-in-one Printer Line with Three New Models. PIXMA MP970, MP610, and MP520 Offer Outstanding Image Quality and Ease-of-Use in a Stylish Package

LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., August 20, 2007 – Canon U.S.A., Inc. has combined breakthrough printing, scanning and copying technologies with quality, speed and ease-of-use features, putting them all into sleek and sophisticated packages to deliver three new photo All-in-One (AIO) printers - the Canon PIXMA MP970, MP610 and MP520 Photo All-in-One Printers.

These quality rich features have been designed in the most elegant packages to fit into modern home or office decors, while even saving space in a dorm room. New and returning Canon printing, scanning and copy technologies provide users with a home photo lab that produces outstanding image quality, while also being easy to use.

Auto Image Fix, Advanced Copy Technology, Easy-Scroll Wheel, Quick Start, and two-way paper feeding are just some of the new and existing technologies incorporated into the three Canon AIO photo printers, helping to increase output quality while making the printers easier to use. Aimed at photo enthusiasts and hobbyists, as well as families printing pictures and homework assignments, the PIXMA MP970, MP610 and MP520 Photo AIO Printers will join Canon's single function printers and office AIO printers to deliver exceptional, long-lasting images.

"Our objectives are to provide high-quality printers with technology and features that will help consumers get the most from their printing experiences," said Yuichi Ishizuka, senior vice president and general manager, Consumer Imaging Group, Canon U.S.A. "Built on exclusive Canon technology, these printers will make great additions to anyone's personal photo lab, as well as delivering the quality output demanded by home office users."

Canon Pixma MP610 Photo All-in-one Printer
The MP610 AIO Photo Printer delivers high-quality photo prints by using up to 9600 x 2400 color dpi resolution1 and five individual ink tanks for long-lasting beautiful prints (prints can last up-to 100 years in an archival quality album)2. The 2.5-inch TFT high definition screen displays images from a digital camera's memory card in the built-in card reader3 and it has a wide viewing angle so you do not need to be right in front of the printer. The elegantly designed PIXMA MP610 Photo AIO Printer blazes through a 4-inch x 6-inch photo lab quality borderless print at a speed of approximately 21 seconds. With Auto Image Fix, Quick Start, Duplex printing, and Advanced Copy Technology also built in, the MP610 Photo All-in-One brings a new level of convenience and quality to photo printing at this price point. The PIXMA MP610 Photo AIO will be available at an estimated selling price of $199.

Advanced Easy-Scroll Wheel
The Easy-Scroll Wheel user interface will be very familiar to consumers who have popular portable digital music players, helping them quickly understand the operations that this wheel controls, including editing, copying, printing and scanning options. What's more, Canon has improved the "HOME" and "NAVI" buttons on these devices' operational panels. When consumers push the NAVI button, it not only displays the machine's on-screen guide, but it even navigates the user to the function they desire. The HOME button allows users to return to the main menu, regardless of where they are in the sub-menus, assuring users that home is always just a click away. By improving the Easy-Scroll Wheel, HOME and NAVI buttons, Canon has been able to simplify the printing process, and reduce the number of total buttons by approximately half, making operation much easier.

ChromaLife100 System
The PIXMA MP970, MP610, and MP520 Photo All-In-One printers employ the Canon ChromaLife100 system, including FINE print head technology, for long-lasting photo prints. When using select genuine Canon photo papers and inks, prints can resist fading for up to 100 years when stored in an archival quality photo album. The 100-year-lifespan rivals that of many traditional film-based photos, long considered by consumers to be the benchmark for image permanence. Prints produced on Canon Photo Paper Pro with ChromaLife100 have up to a ten-year gas fastness when exposed to open air. ChromaLife100 prints, when created using Canon Photo Paper Pro or Photo Paper Plus Glossy, have up to a 30-year light fastness when displayed under glass.2

Creative Park/Easy-PhotoPrint EX
More than ever, consumers are diving into digital scrapbooking, photo albums, calendars and crafting projects. Canon's Creative Park Web site at www.canon.com/c-park offers 3-D paper craft projects, scrapbooking templates, novel greeting cards, educational materials, and the opportunity to learn more about digital photography.

Other features such as cropping, increasing saturation and correcting red eye are also included to allow the user to make corrections to images without having to use additional software.
