Canon Pixma MP990 Wireless Photo All-In-One Printer

Comments about Canon Pixma MP990 Wireless Photo All-In-One Printer:

I have owned the product for only a month and do not do high volume printing or photo copying. Having said that, I have not noticed the high volume ink consumption mentioned in some reviews. Additionally, I do not find the printer to be noisy as is mentioned in some reviews. The two-side printing is a new feature for me and an obvious plus. This product is a definite upgrade for me and so far I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

Great printer, does everything advertised. It's a bit pricy, but I got it for 70% off so I'm happy. Not sure about the expense of ink yet. Do your research

No complaints, Works Great

This is a great printer, and that would have been true even if I didn't get such a great deal on its price from B&H. The printer is a bit bulky, but worth it if you have the space. I love that the ink cartridges have clear windows to be able to physically see the ink level inside. I bought this printer to replace an Epson CX4800 All-In-One, whose ink cartridges declare themselves empty after a certain period of time (~6 months) regardless of whether it really is empty or not. A class action lawsuit was filed against Epson for this, but they just ended up settling the case by giving all Epson owners a $25 coupon to the Epson Online Store (a ripoff). I wanted an advanced, reputable replacement printer and spent months comparing specs and pricing. Cannon looked best on paper, and it seems to be living up to its expectations.

i use the printer for extensive photo printing and document printing. it is great in color clarity, speed of printing for both prints and documents. the slow startup and noise prior to actually printing the first document can be annoying as well as the noise. the paper tray capacity is entirely too small for extensive printing/copying. overall, it is good printer for the price.

Pros: easy wireless set-up, double-sided printing, excellent photo quality, excellent value.
Cons: none yet.

I use this printer for printing text and printing photos. I have used a Canon i960 for years, and was always impressed with the photo quality. I am just as pleased with the photos printed by the MP990.

Overall, haven't found any issues with this printer so far. Some reviews have said it is flimsy construction but I haven't noticed any problems in this area.

Set-up took longer than anticipated however the wait seems to have been worth it. The machine is easy to use and the output quality is excellent for both documents and photo's.

Ideal for home use. Setup took about 30 minutes. WiFI setup is simple using WPS.

I'll start off by saying this is easily one of the best color printers that I have ever owned. The combination of a scanner that can handle documents, film, and slides with ease, and built-in 100megabit Ethernet and WiFi (not N, but G) makes networking a breeze. Setup was relatively simple. It took me longer to get the network set up due to the fact that my home network is behind a firewall, and every networked device has to have a static IP address. The print quality is superb, having a gray ink tank makes blank and white photos noticeably nicer. Reviewers have said that it runs through ink quickly, but I cannot comment on this, because I haven't printed a huge amount of pictures yet. If you are looking for an all-in-one printer that prints high quality photos, but cant stomach the price bump to the PixmaPRO 9000, this is the perfect printer for you

For me, this was the perfect printer in terms of function, form, and price. You're really getting an amazing piece of technology for this price point. I read multiple reviews about other wireless printers requiring you to connect to a PC to setup first. Not the case with the Canon Pixma MP990. Wireless setup was a breeze.
After installing the drivers on Windows 7, I had to manually click on the printer in the network browser before it detected it, but after that every computer recognized it and was able to test print.

I managed to print some color, as well as some black & white photos on Canon's Pro Platinum Plus photo paper and the results were stunning. Photos printed on the included samples of Canon's Pro Glossy II paper were equally great. Colors are rich and blacks are true black. Granted, I've seen better black & whites from a lab, but I can't mark it down for that. So, I think the print quality is exceptional, provided you use good photo paper. Also, borderless printing is truely amazing: effortless to setup and print from Lightroom 3. I wish it did the larger format prints, but you will not find a printer that can do that even close to this price. Also, it was very easy to teach my parents to print borderless photos directly from windows picture viewer.

The only flaw I have found was the initial boot-up time from power-on to print. The first photo after a power-on takes 2-3 minutes because of the internal cleaning procedure. After that, however, each photo came out very quick.

It is quite large, but that is completely negated by the fact that it is wireless. I have it set up in a corner in the basement out of the way.

Ink consumption wise, I don't think this printer will be worse than any other inkjet on the market. After three 8.5x11 full color photos, two 8.5x11 B&W, and five 4x6 full color - the grey tank reads about 85%, the rest are still up in the 90's.
It's a cost I'll have to eat regardless of what brand I choose, short of a laser printer.

I'm very happy with this printer and would buy it again. I have also recommended it to two coworkers.

Comments about Canon Pixma MP990 Wireless Photo All-In-One Printer:

I needed a printer for both text and especially photos that gave excellent quality up to 8.5 X 11in. For the very infrequent larger print a local or online source was more economical. Once the printer is setup with custom print profiles it is extremely efficient with excellent color and detail and no evidence of "banding". The only negative,which I was aware of, is that it can be slow(especially with duplex printing and the occasionally head cleaning), but that is a minor inconvenience compared to the other qualities. For the price I think this is an excellent AIO printer.

I ordered this on sale after a bit of waffling on which printer to get. It actually has two feed trays, something I didn't realize before. The back feed tray is like a normal inject printer where the paper stands up. This is meant for photo paper, while plain paper goes in the bottom "cassette" tray.

The pictures it prints are amazing, especially from a very large image printing on a smaller format like a 4x6. Like the other comments said, these are print lab quality, especially with the included photo paper sample.

I think I'll need to buy more photo paper for this printer, because it really brings it out. I really cannot tell the images came from an inkjet!

Comments about Canon Pixma MP990 Wireless Photo All-In-One Printer:

So far I have been impressed. B&H sold for an unbeatable price and Canon put up the quality. Installing the ink was simple and setting up the wireless took only a few minutes. I was ready to print 30 minutes after taking it out of the box. I look forward to printing those great photos.

Great consumer printer for the pro photographer

Comments about Canon Pixma MP990 Wireless Photo All-In-One Printer:

Product was easy to set up with a MAC. Photos are outstanding but the ink is used up fairly quick compared to the Canon Pixma MP600 I was using before. Would recommend buying extra ink at the same time as the printer since it was cheaper here than in any stores where I live.

Comments about Canon Pixma MP990 Wireless Photo All-In-One Printer:

The first thing I noticed when I opened the box was the enormous size of this thing. Check the dimensions if you have a small desk! Setup and wireless printing worked on first try. Print speed is faster than I would expect of a non-laser printer. Double sided print is not simultaenous - it works by printing one side of the page then rolls it back to flip it around inside and prints the other side. Clunky but it works, hands free. Lower paper tray doesn't hold many pages and is pretty flimsy plastic.

Comments about Canon Pixma MP990 Wireless Photo All-In-One Printer:

I had to replace my Epson RX620 photo printer, so I bought an HP wireless, only to return it since it would not communicate with the Apple wireless router I use. And, of course, the seller did not tell me of that problem, nor did HP, only after an hour and a half talking with their tech support. The Canon installed perfectly and easily. The only negative is that the colors do not match what the Epson delivered. Screen color to Epson balance, but the Canon shifts to red and darker. So I still have to calibrate between the two.

Comments about Canon Pixma MP990 Wireless Photo All-In-One Printer:

As an all-in-one, the Pixma MP990 is a must-have. I now use it daily for scanning and printing. The wireless networking, card-reader and LCD preview are an incredible bonus, especially for the price. I also received my printer expediently from B&H shortly after ordering it.
