The PIXMA MP990 improves on the previous model, though not enough to warrant an upgrade if you already own the PIXMA MP980. I'd have no hesitation in recommending it if you have the space - it is quite bulky.Canon’s top-of-the-range PIXMA inkjet multifunction printer has been refreshed and is now armed with integrated wireless and USB flash drive support. Setup is easy and it took me about an hour from opening the box to running a test scan connected via WiFi through my router. On good quality photo paper (I'm using Kodak Ultra Premium) prints are almost indistinguishable from my dye-sub printer. I've only used the printer for about 100 10x15cm prints so it's still on the original inks but the quality has been excellent. One handy feature is that you can lay multiple existing photos onto the glass and it will recognise and preview/print them individually even if they are a little skew. Scanner warm-up is very quick and colour negs or transparencies take about 2mins per image at 2400dpi, B+W negs take a little longer.

It hasn't disappointed me even with the Canon supplied software but I'm going to see how it performs using VueScan with IT8 targets. Scanner quality was more important to me than print quality because I have alot of old negs and transparencies I want to digitize before they deteriorate any further.
Like you, I wanted an all-in-one scanner/printer package. I have the predecessor, the MP980 and I'm very, very pleased with it. >The only problem is that as they don't get vacuum packed, you're best to use them within a few weeks of being refilled (might be solved by now, not sure).Ī good tip especially as I will initially want a spare set rather than wait until one of the six runs out.Ĭanon PIXMA MP990 printer. I still intend to use up the ink ( tight wad?) but then will treat the new machine to new cartridges. I plan to get my new printer soon hence the original question. I suspected the sponge was causing the delay in the printer output stabilising the correct colours. I came across Tesco selling off refil kits for about £2 so I gathered up a handful and am working my way through the little bottles. My Epson has got simple cartridges and I have been refilling them myself.
>Most tanks (as used by Canon (as opposed to Epson who have the print head on the cartridge)) can be refilled 3 or 4 times before the sponge starts to lose it's properties.
