Canon Pixma MX455 Ink Cartridges

The Pixma MX455 is an inkjet all in one, that prides itself with some very modern features and targets the large and choosy home and small office market. It aims to do this with the usual mix of good Canon print quality and cost effectiveness.

This all in one comes with a good quality printer in both monochrome and colour outputs, the enhanced print resolution of 4800 dpi helping matters. The photocopies are a bit disbanded but otherwise good quality. The scanner has a maximum resolution of 2400 x 4800 dpi, but then the scan output, though overall good, looks a little edgy. The printer comes with only 2 ink tanks, one black and another colour, thus replacing Canon Pixma MX455 Ink Cartridges can be a bit wasteful, as even if the ink in the colour cartridge is remaining for the other two colours, one has to replace the complete cartridge.

Pixma MX455 has some really good connectivity options, other than the usual WiFi and USB, one can also print directly from mobile phones using the Bluetooth connectivity. Surprisingly the front USB only allows one to download scans and not use it for printing directly. The printer has 2 print trays, with the main 100 sheet feeder tray, and a smaller 20 sheet for special paper sizes. Another good feature is the availability of both standard and high yield Canon Pixma MX455 Ink Cartridges, giving heavy users a way to reduce their printing bills. The slow speeds of 9.7 ppm in monochrome and 5.5 ppm in colour limit heavy usage.

The dimensions of the printer are compact, though once opened it does carry a bit more desk space. The lack of ethernet is also surprising, as most other connectivity options are present. It also has an application for iOS and Android through which one can directly print from mobile phones.

• Low printing costs with high yield cartridges
• Easy wireless setup
• Wired, wireless, and Bluetooth connectivity options
• Direct printing from iOS and Android devices
• 20-sheet ADF
• Full fax facilities
• Duplex print

• All trays, both input and output are very small
• No automatic duplex function
• Front USB lacks print function
• No ethernet connectivity option

Canon Pixma MX455 is a good all rounder, with very good quality colour printouts. The wide connectivity options, high yield cartridges, make it a good workhorse, though it is a bit limited with its small sized input tray. Overall, for its low cost and large features, it is a good option for most homes and small offices.
