Canon Pixma MP990 Printer Review
MFPs tend to be meant to effectively take care of the essential printing and scanning jobs of a normal home user. Contrary to most, Canon's Pixma MP990 is excellent in case your hobbies and interests demand good quality scanning and photo printing - such as design, photography or preserving traditional photos.
The MP990 includes a CCD scanner, that has more effective colour duplication compared to CIS scanner engines in many MFPs, however it's bulkier as well as more delicate. It also comes with a backlight and transparency frame for negative scanning.
Most of its other capabilities are shared with the less expensive Pixma MP640. For instance , wired and wireless networking, two 150-sheet paper trays, a colour display screen, memory card reader, Pictbridge port, CD printing tray and automatic duplexer.
The majority of the latest Pixma range takes five ink cartridges - dye-based cyan, magenta, yellow and black for photograph printing, along with a pigmented black for sharp document prints. The MP990 adds a grey ink cartridge to generate stunning accurate greyscale shading on black and white photos.
Colour photographs also seem astonishingly good, with splendid tones, well-defined detail and extremely subtle duplication of subtly gradated dark colours. Photo prints are not extremely swift, nevertheless at around 49 seconds for every 6x4in print, we've got few complaints. A full high quality 6x4in colour print on Canon's best Platinum Pro paper costs around 40p.
Colour and mono, prints and copies using the Canon Pixma MP990 ink cartridges are as first-rate as we have now come to anticipate with this award-winning series of printers; with sharp text even at small-scale font sizes plus vivid, precise colour on graphs and business illustrations. Draft text is thinner compared to its full-quality equivalent, yet no less dark or sharp. However, at 10.5ppm with normal quality text, you will not need to make use of draft for fast prints.
The MP990's picture scanning capabilities are extremely good. Individual things on the platen are properly detected and separately scanned. A display within the cover of the scanner is easy to remove to reveal a backlight along with a negative frame, that may take a film strip of up to six pictures.
Canon's recently up graded ScanGear interface features lots of sophisticated features, from colour adjustment and sharpening to software-based fade and scratch correction. By default, the interface closes automatically right after each and every scan, nevertheless this is easy to change if you prefer it to stay open for batch scanning.
You may pick resolutions of up to 1,200dpi through a menu, but can also enter whatever resolution you would like. Scan quality was sharp and clear, with particularly exact colour and sophisticated gradation, together with distinct variations in tone reproduced on even our murkiest negative scans.
The majority would not need all the capabilities which the MP990 has to offer. For them, we recommend the less expensive MP640. However, if you want to scan negatives or print monochrome photographs, or should you value the more refined colour created by a CCD scanner, the MP990 is created for the task.
