The Canon Pixma MP470 is an entry-level
multifunction inkjet printer that offers all in one scanning, copying and printing features with full lab quality photo printing capabilities, a memory card slot
and a 1.8in LCD viewing screen.
The MP470 uses Canons FINE (Full-lithography inkjet Nozzle Engineering) technology to print bright and vibrant photos, with a maximum resolution of 4800 x 1200dpi and ink droplets as tiny as 2pl delivering smooth graduations and fine details. With the ultimate printing speed the MP470 can print approximately 22 pages in one minute (black) and up to 17 pages per minute (colour).
The MP470 also offers real flexibility to print via the memory slot, without connecting the printer to a computer. Before printing, you can preview and fine tune your images by using the 1.8 inch colour LCD display.
The printer features high-quality photo scans with 2400 x 4800 dpi optical resolution and 48-bit internal colour compression offering easy photo reprinting and quick, crisp copying at the touch of a button.
The copy function allows you to produce high-quality colour and black-and-white copies on plain or photo paper. You can enlarge or reduce the size of an original to fit a specific paper size, adjust the copy quality, and make high-quality copies of photos, including borderless copies
The MP470 also offers Navigator EX utility software that allows you correction and enhancement of the images. The software can also turn scans into PDFs, attach them to e-mails, or convert scans to editable text using optical character recognition software.
The Pixma MP470 uses a two-tank ink arrangement; one black and one tri-colour (cyan, magenta, yellow).
The ink cartridge MP470 takes are PG37, PG40 (black ink cartridge) and CL38, CL41 (colour ink cartridge).
With laser quality prints the Canon MP470 is an ideal multifunction printer that offers good value for money.
