Another key component the PIXMA MP490 prides itself on is ease of use so you can conveniently get the photo lab quality you want. The new Auto Photo Fix II software is built right into the machine and automatically corrects your images while easy viewing and editing can be done right on the 1.8” LCD. Plus, its QuickStart feature gives you faster access to printer operations once the products is on. If you want to start scanning, Auto Scan Mode automatically recognizes the type of original you are scanning and saves it with the appropriate settings. Oh, need some copies - No problem. Dual Color Gamut Processing Technology enables your copies to maintain the integrity of the original whether a document or photo copy-after-copy.

Don’t forget, for added printing versatility enjoy computer-free photo printing options via compatible memory cards2.


Speed & Quality
Terrific Resolution: This level of quality is achieved by 4800 x 1200 maximum color dpi1 thanks to Canon Full-photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering (FINE) with a patented print head firing ink droplets as small as 2pl. This delivers superb quality and detail in both your business documents and photos.

High Performance Ink Cartridges: These two genuine Canon ink cartridges contain specially formulated inks for great document and photo quality. One is a Black cartridge for laser-quality text and one is a multi-color cartridge for pictures. Both are easy to use and replace.

ChromaLife100+:This system combines enhanced FINE print head technology with select new Canon photo papers for beautiful borderless photos that will last up to 300 years3 when stored in an archival-quality photo album.

Sleek design.

Beautiful & Borderless4: Print photo lab quality from 4” x 6” up to 8.5” x 11”.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Multi Function Printer, October 5, 2009
    By Papillon (St Lucia) - See all my reviews
    Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
    I just bought this printer and I LOVE it. It's the perfect all in one printer for home/ small office use. I am a student and wanted an all in one so i could print, copy and scan documents without the stress of using the school's facilities every time. This printer is exactly what I needed. The print quality is superb. Even photos printed with this printer come out looking just as good as lab quality photos. The colours are vibrant and rich and borderless printing is excellent. Photocopying and scanning quality is really good too. However, printing speed is not the fastest but it doesn't detract from the beauty of this machine. The printer itself has a small footprint and I love the way everything folds into one compact design and eliminates dust getting trapped inside the printer. Overall, this is a great printer for the price. Note that a usb cord is not included in the package.

    5.0 out of 5 stars This is a very nice printer!, September 3, 2009
    I bought this printer without reading a single review or even looking it up. I walked into Target and read the box and purchased it. I usually read the reviews and wait for people to explain what's wrong with something before I buy it so this was totally unlike me. I was very pleasantly surprised! I love this! I've owned a big Pixma Pro 9000 for a while now but I refused to give up my little HP all in one that I've loved for years but it crapped out and I decided to try the Canon all in one since I loved the pro9000 so much. After trying this thing out, HP lost a customer. I'd always loved their printers but the software never worked right. Not only is the Canon printer better but the software didn't jam my computer. (Yes I tried the HP software on a Dell, and HP, and an E-Machines computer, it's crap!) I did purchase a separate scanner to scan slides since I bought the printer so I gave to to my mom and am looking for just a photo printer now but I'm looking into Canon. My mom is loving this printer too, and she's not easy to please when it comes to printers. All in all, if you want an all-in-one, this one is worth a shot!!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Canon MP490-perfect for light use at home, October 11, 2009
    By Frank Burton "Larynxx" (High Point, NC United States) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
    I'm using the Canon MP490 at home with a Mac Book Pro Intel Core Duo OSX 10.5.8. I found the set up very straightforward and encountered no problems. As mentioned in another review, the USB cord is not included. Print quality/tone was very good for both photos and plain documents. Color ran a bit to the green end. Scanning and copying were also uncomplicated. Inserting the SD card from my digital camera into the printer immediately brought up the image on the LCD screen, ready to print. iPhoto also started up automatically on my laptop, ready to import the images from the SD card in the printer-very slick. Controls were fairly intuitive as was the menu on the compass control. Print speed was on the slow side, so if your needs require high volume printing, this is probably not the right printer for you. The included software loaded easily and works fairly well. Ink costs are high for OEM replacement cartridge. There are ink refill kits on the web for this model to reduce costs considerably-I have no experience refilling these particular cartridges, but have found it to be very economical in my other Canon and HP printers. I have had the printer for only three days so I cannot speak to its long-term dependability. My initial impression is that the MP490 is an inexpensive, very good quality printer with easy set-up and helpful software. It is ideal for low-volume home use.
