Summary

Review summaries for Canon MP530 from expert printer reviewers.

great color handling

Canon Pixma MP530:CNet

The bottom line:
The Canon Pixma MP530 is a nearly ideal all-in-one for a small office. It just lacks networking and media card slots.
"
great color handling"
"
all-around impressive performer"
"
A light mounted on the front of each tank tells you the status of that tank: low ink, empty, and whether it's properly installed."
"
Other special copy functions include 2-on-1 or 4-on-1 copy, sticker copy, borderless copy, image repeat, and collated copy."
"
built-in duplexer"
"
You can get around that by connecting the MP530 to a router with a built-in print server or by buying a standalone print server"
"
excellent results"
"
high-speed color printing, copying and scanning"
"
a large Pigment Black ink tank is dedicated to text based document printing, copying and faxing, whereas four dye ink tanks take care of photo printing"
"
Dialling is quick and simple"
"
This advanced All-in-One has an integrated duplex unit for double-sided printing and features two practical paper trays as well as DVD/CD label printing"
"
PictBridge-ready"
"
On photo paper, images came out beautifully sharp with bright, vivid colors"
"
Print quality was good"
"
The MP530 produced attractive dark text"
"
It rolled out our test photo on letter-size photo paper in a commendable 41 seconds"
"
its 4.3-ppm copy speed was impressive, particularly given its high quality"
"
performed well in our speed tests"
"
the printer uses dye-based black, but to produce stronger and sharper darks on relatively absorbent plain paper, it adds pigment-based black"
"
Each of the printer's five ink cartridges-one per primary color, plus two black inks-incorporates a red LED that flashes when the ink runs low"
"
The rear feeder is convenient for switching among different types of paper, and its straight paper path makes it a good choice for thicker media"
"
dual paper trays"
"
The Canon Pixma MP530's solid combination of features makes it ideal for a small office that works with documents and photos"

high-resolution photo prints are much, much slower.
