Looking for affordable all-in-one printers that can scan, copy and print?

The Pixma MP497 is Canon's compact and stylish model that offers excellent performance with prints up to 4,800x1,200 dpi, monochrome or colour, and a scan resolution of 1,200x2,400 dpi. It's fast, too - try 41 seconds for printing a borderless 4x6-inch photo.

When it comes to document-printing, this humble printer delivers monochrome pages at 8.8 images per minute (ipm). Colour documents come in at a respectable 5.0 ipm.

The MP497 is part of the new Pixma Black range of products endowed with features for a more dynamic digital lifestyle.

For instance, with the Full HD Movie Print feature, users can print individual frames directly from multimedia videos - no need to spend time fiddling with screenshot applications.

Also new is the ability to connect to online photo-sharing site Flickr with the Canon Easy-PhotoPrint EX software.

There are features to improve image quality, too, such as Auto Photo Fix II that can do intelligent Colour Cast Correction, and upgrades to Canon's Easy-WebPrint EX software that improves the legibility of gray-to-black text.

The Pixma MP497 is equipped with a fuss-free self-opening paper output tray - particularly useful for jobs that require printing and copying.

It's also equipped with WiFi capability for maximum print coverage across your computers and other devices hooked up to your home wireless network.
