Abstract: Currently occupying a portion of my available workspace is the Canon PIXMA MP640. This is an All-in-One device that offers print, scan and copy capabilities while giving you a choice of USB or 802.11bg WLAN connectivity when connecting to your computer...
As a photo printer, the MP640 is every bit as good as a standalone machine, producing bright, vibrant and true results every time. In fact, it's an impressive performer all round, and Canon hasn't forgotten that even the longest feature list in the world is no substitute for quality.Usefully, you can set up plain and photo paper simultaneously, while duplex printing is as speedy as we've seen, wi
The MP640 is probably a bit of overkill for the average home user, and the downside of its flexibility is that some features may end up never being used. And while the MP600 series has generally aged well, the interface is starting to look dated, and we won't be surprised to see an overhauled touchscreen interface finding its way into Canon's next wave of releases.

Abstract: You could be forgiven for not noticing Canon's new range of PIXMA all-in-one printers, as they all look very similar to their predecessors. Slightly different lines in their silver and black cases are probably not enough to distinguish them from last year...
Abstract: Canon's feature-packed Pixma MP640 has both wired and wireless networking, memory card slots, a CD-printing tray, two 150-sheet paper trays and an automatic duplexer. The 3in colour screen makes it easy to use features such as copying, direct printi...
Abstract: Verdict: This feature-packed multifunction device delivers on all fronts, making it an excellent choice for families with multiple PCs. Multifunction peripherals tend to cost less than separate printers and scanners, but the MP640 takes a different ...
Abstract: The MP640's ChromaLife100 ink system may not be high fidelity with light magenta, light cyan (or even red and green) inks, but it does include four dye-based inks (black, yellow, cyan and magenta) and a pigment-based black text ink. Print lo...
