Canon Pixma MX850

REVIEW

Canon has an impressive track record with its ink jet all-in-ones (AIOs), with more Editors' Choice awards in the various ink jet AIO categories over the past several years than any other company. At this point, I approach every new Canon AIO with high expectations—especially a model like the Canon Pixma MX850 Office All-In-One Printer ($279.99 direct), which Canon calls the flagship model for its business AIOs. And once again, Canon doesn't disappoint.

Bottom Line

Equally capable at home and office tasks, the Canon Pixma MX850 is a good fit for the home or small office, or in the dual role of home and home-office all-in-one.

Pros

Fast performance. Automatic document feeder. Network connector. Standalone copier and fax.

Cons

Unusual approach to network setup. Full-page graphics tend to make plain paper curl.
