  • The £79 price range of the Canon Pixma MP490 MFP means tradeoffs. The high ink costs are bearable if you print infrequently; otherwise, look for a model with lower-cost inks (and a higher purchase price), such as HP's OfficeJet 6500 Wireless....

  • Canons home printer range is vast and the aim appears to be to provide an option for every situation. The added benefit of the Canon PIXMA MP490 over other units is the LCD preview screen and memory card slot, whilst still offering the USB connectivity...

  • Small, lightweight, Great photo prints, Easy to set up
  • Not so fast, Lacks automatic document feeder and paper input tray

  • Good photo print quality, direct scanning, easy to use
  • No front paper cassette, no PictBridge USB port, poor LCD, expensive consumables
  • Not quite a bargain bin printer, Canon’s PIXMA MP490 inkjet multifunction is still a decent impulse buy. It provides decent quality photo and document printing and an easy-to-use interface. ...

  • Abstract:  This is a reasonably priced four ink (two cartridge) All In One unit. However it is really designed for light use simply because of the small size of the ink cartridges. Output quality is good the only drawback is the ink cost....

  • Abstract:  If you're buying an entry-level all-in-one, you might expect a lot lower spec than when buying in the mid or high price ranges, but in many cases the core functions, like printing and scanning, will be much the same from machine to machine and it...
