A nicely designed printer...

Review updated on October 13 2009 to reflect firmware changes and add information on ink consumption -



The Canon MX-860 is an all-in-one printer designed for home or small business. The printing is fast sharp and clear. The auto-document feeder scans both sides of the page a tremendous time saver when you work with two-sided originals. Couple that with duplex-printing and it's trivial to reproduce two-sided forms and documents. The network connectivity also works well...in the six months I've had the printer it's operated flawlessly in a mixed Mac/Windows environment on both wireless and wired networks.



Let's look at the MX-860 on a piece-by-piece basis ...



Printing

The Canon MX-860 uses a set of five ink cartridges for printing. Two of the cartridges are black with the other three being the typical Magenta/Cyan/Yellow set. The printed output is easily sharp enough to be used for business letters; it almost rivals laser printers in quality. To save paper the printer has built-in duplexing. I haven't measured it but single-sided printing speed is quite good...I suspect that the 38 pound weight of the printer is due to some good size motors pulling the paper and moving the printhead around. Printing in duplex mode is quite a bit slower. To avoid smearing the printer waits for the first-side to dry before printing the second side.



Photographs have good tonal gradation and overall appearance however they don't equal those from a high-end printer that's specifically designed to print photographs. The difference though is slight and everybody has liked the prints that I've made. The printer has the usual slots on the front to allow you to insert your camera's memory cards.



Scanning

Whoopee! Duplex scanning! Have you ever tried to scan a stack of two sided pages? And get them merged into one file in the right order? I tried. Once. Then I went out and paid $400 for a dedicated scanner (the Fujitsu ScanSnap S510). With duplex scanning capability on the MX-860 I wouldn't have needed to do that. You put the papers in the feeder tell the printer that it's a two-sided original and push the button.



Faxing

Outgoing faxing works fine. The faxes seem to get there. Originally the designers of the fax system missed an extremely important feature...you couldn't specify the number of rings before the fax machine answered. Without that ability it was almost impossible for the machine to peacefully co-exist with your phone service in a single line household. This problem was fixed by a firmware update and current purchasers can set the number of rings before pick-up. Unfortunately Canon hasn't posted the new firmware so owners of older machines are stuck...be careful if you buy one used. +1 brownie point for recognizing and fixing the problem. -2 for not making it available... :>(



Networking and Setup

I had no problems getting both the wireless and wired network up and running. The setup is simple and straight forward. You'll need a USB cable to get the wireless network configured. It may be possible to wirelessly configure the wireless network but there are certain insanities that even I won't try. You can only use one network - wired or wireless - at once. As I mentioned in the intro it comes with both Macintosh and Windows software. Getting it to work on my additional networked computers was as simple as inserting the DVD and running the install program.



Ink Consumption

Some printer politely sip ink but this isn't one of them. It's not quite as bad as beer consumption at a frat party but in the last 2500 pages I've gone through six black and two full sets of color cartridges. That works out to slightly over 10.5 cents per page at Amazon's current (11/11/09) prices for OEM ink cartridges...fine for normal use but not great if you're going to use the printer heavily. Your ink consumption will vary depending on the mix of photos graphics and text that you print.



Packaging

You know that ubiquitous orange tape that printer manufactures use to hold everything together? It's there in spades. I wish I owned that franchise. Otherwise it looks like the printer should ship well. It's well isolated with plenty of molded styrofoam.



In summary this is my fourth Canon printer and probably the twentieth printer that I've owned. Outside of the faxing issue it works great. The duplex scanning and printing are valued additions and real time savers...I would have given it a solid five stars if it wasn't for the faxing problem. I haven't used the printer enough to get a sense of long-term reliability; after a couple of thousand sheets of paper it's been jam free and solid.More detail ...

The All-In-One That Does it All

If you're looking for a printer with all the latest technologies check out the HP Officejet 6500 Wireless. Keep in mind that HP makes two 6500 models--one is wireless and one is not. This is the wireless model. With copy scan print and fax functions this all-in-one is a real workhorse.



Fast speed (up to 31 ppm) and extremely easy to use. The setup function is all done via software--you don't even need to touch the 6500's keypad controls. It links directly to your System Preferences control panel making the wireless and fax settings easy. It uses 4 separate color inks so you can control your print costs when only a single color needs to be replaced.



Main drawback is HP's decision to only include a 2-line text display. For a printer in this price range HP should have included a 2.5" color LCD screen. If you're looking for a multifunction machine that does it all seriously consider the HP 6500 Wireless.More detail ...

Your New Office Assistant ! & MX870 vs Epson Artisan 810 Review

If you are looking at these reviews for the MX870 you are probably wondering what I was wondering... "What is the difference between the MX870 and MX860 and possibly also how does it compare to the Epson Artisan 810?" They are all top rated by Amazon customers for inkjet all-in-one printers.



They are all awesome! The Epson has more color cartriges but I am not sure if that matters. I give the nod to the Epson on photo quality but it might just be a subliminal issue of 'more is better'. My last Epson printer was the Epson 785EPX and it printed amazing photos and graphics and it also used 6 colors.



Both the Canon and Epson have beautiful quick drying inks. The Canon has a special black ink that is a pigment instead of a dye which you might like since pigments don't run when wet so theirs is good for flyers and such. And by the way if you've discovered that you really benefit from pigment ink look into the Epson Workforce 610. It is fast and all its different colored inks are pigments. Graphics and text are outstanding but photos a little lacking.



The Canon is a little slower to start printing but once it gets going it is pretty fast. Both Epson and Canon models have an optional duplexer mode (prints on both sides to save paper - this feature significantly slows down print time if that is important to you) and an automatic paper feed. The paper feed on the Canon is fully integrated and two-sided so it can copy/scan both sides of a document automatically as well. There are a few hiccups with the 860 on this that the 870 solves.



It's a small pain to reload the reglar A4 8 1/2 by 11 paper in both machines in their lower tray. The Epson has an additional slot on its lower tray for photo paper that some may like. The Canon has an extra paper feed at the back of the unit that is great for printing envelopes prints or other types of paper so you don't have to change your main tray. The rear feeder should accommodate heavier papers and have a less likelihood of jamming because the paper comes straight through the machine with little bending. The projecting tray on the Epson looks and feels flimsy and most people seem worried about that but remarkably I have never heard of anyone breaking it. The Canon has a cool feature... when you send it a wireless command to print it automatically lowers its front door for the paper to be collected on so you can keep the unit all closed up when not in use.



If you use OCR and I love OCR (optical character recognition that allows you to turn your document scans into text files) you will prefer the Epson because it is integrated into their software package. Canons used to have OCR software but have stopped in the recent year. Note: If you have Microsoft Office Student and Home version its program 'OneNote' has OCR for you to use. Most people are totally unaware of it being there. By the way OneNote is the best program on Microsoft Office. It is what keeps me from just using the free open source office software that is so amazing.



Price-wise the Epson is about 100 more than the Canon. Amazon has some of the best prices. The newer Canon MX870 isn't even available in most stores yet and probably will run about 50 dollars more than the MX860 for the next six months. Apple users will like the smoother integrated software application of the MX870 that was a small problem on the MX860.



Space-wise the Canon is bigger. Look-wise the Epson is sharper with its shiny black finish like a piece of fancy stereo equipment. The Canon has a neutral light beige look. Very officey with clean lines.



They both fax if you ever need that every now and then instead of having to run to your local print shop.



The user interface of the Canon and Epson are both easy to use in different ways. I sort of wish the Canon buttons weren't so flush with the unit but its not really a big deal. You will need to use the interface to copy and scan but most print jobs you will want to do from your computer.



The Epson has some fun graphics software extra on it. Again mostly 'fun' stuff. It also prints on printable CDs and DVDs. This could be important to you. It is the best of any printer at this. I don't need it because I print on CDs using LightScribe on my HP. I like that look better if I am going to customize the CD face.



The Canon has some very useful proprietary software that you will love if you surf the Web and want to copy and print out multiple bits and pieces of articles with ease... even on the same sheet of paper. You can do this anyway with Windows but Canon's program is easier and faster.



Both Canon and Epson have ink cartridges that are separate from the print head so it is easier to find third-party ink and save money. Third party ink is better than what it used to be but the OEM (original equipment manufacture) cartridges are truer and faster drying for important projects and to bring out the full glory of these machines.



I chose the Canon MX870 but all the printers I mentioned here are rated tops at their price-point. I hope I covered a few of the more notable differences to help you narrow in on your search.More detail ...
