The Canon PIXMA MX350 Wireless Office All-In-One Printer4205B002 is a new wireless all-in-one office quality inkjet printer from Canon. It features wireless Wifi and wired Ethernet printing, a built-in G3 capable fax and a 30-page automatic document feeder. Performance features include 4800 x 1200 dpi color print resolution, 4" x 6" borderless photo printing in as little as 43 seconds, and 4.8 ipm color and 8.4 ipm black and white printing speeds. The PIXMA MX350 also features an optional Bluethooth connectivity module, direct printing from a multimedia card reader without a PC, and separate black and color ink cartridge system. The printer is capable of automatic two-sided printing, the scan resolution is 2400 x 1200 dpi and the unit features a 2.5 inch color LCD display for viewing and editing images before printing. There's also a built-in USB port, which allows you to print directly from a USB flash drive or PictBridge compatible digital camera.
FeaturesThe PIXMA MX350 is strong on features. It has more features than most of the comparably priced competition, and the build quality is above average. The printer is designed for offices, so it should stand up well to heavy use. The built-in G3 fax is a bonus that's not offered by most of the competition, and performance is well above average. Many operations, including copying, scanning and printing from flash drives, memory cards or digital cameras, can be performed without a computer. And the dual-cartridge ink system should save on disposables - Canon uses a system whereby the black cartridge is used for printing text only and the color cartridge produces its own blacks. PerformanceThe PIXMA MX350 does well in the performance category as well. It is faster than most of the competition in both color and black and white printing, copying and scanning. The automatic document feeder allows you to take full advantage of the printer's speed, and the built-in color LCD adds to productivity as well. Print and scan resolution are also better than the average, and there's a host of connectivity options. You can even print wirelessly from an iPhone using the optional Bluetooth module. SummaryIf you're in the market for an all-in-one office machine, the Canon PIXMA MX350 makes a very good choice. It has all the features you're likely to need, and the build quality to stand up to heavy office use. Connectivity options are excellent - it's ideal for use as a shared network printer. All in all a very good offering from Canon. Pros
