When picking a printer I have to spend hours searching for deals, the best brand and how much ink might costs when the time comes to replace them. On the Argos website recently I discovered the Canon Pixma MP495 printer reduced to just £29.99 and I thought it was a good deal for a printer which seemed to have decent reviews. I picked my printer up in store and began to set it up at home. When I unpacked the printer the first thing I had to do was the task of removing tones of tape which held together all the side panels and kept the lid down so the scanner was not ruined. The cartridges are very small looking but extremely good at being ...  Read the complete review

My Grandmother purchased this for myself and my family for Christmas 2011 and has so far been used nearly everyday for general printing and for scanning/photocopying as well as printing a few photo's although not too many. It costs around £79.99 in most places (e.g. Argos Curry's etc) although my Grandmother managed to get ours half price in Argos.

I bought this printer last week and so far it's been pretty amazing, this product varies slightly from the MP490 which I owned before this, but its functions are basically the same. The whole printer is a very elegant black colour which makes it look very attractive, and it looks very well built with both aesthetic and robust concepts in mind. There is a rear paper feed only, but this works well, not like some of the cheaper ones this does not take in 5 pieces of paper at once and jam, so far it's done well to take in one at a time. (seems to allow A4, or very slightly larger). Being a Canon product was one of the main reasons I purchased ...  Read the complete review

I only had a limited budget for a printer so was pleased to see this on special offer at Argos for £35 reduced from £70, this printer is still reduced at quite a few shops as of the date this review was written. As an all-in-one, it prints, scans and copies. Its a bit of a Jack of all trades so it isn't wonderful at any but is functional enough at all three for most casual users. The setup is very straightforward, I used a Mac which often makes life difficult when installing new hardware but there are mac-specific instructions included and it wasn't an issue at all. The printer can connect to a wi-fi network and allows you to print from ...  Read the complete review
