The good: High-quality text and graphics prints and scans; fast graphics and photo prints; built-in memory card reader and PictBridge port; reasonable print costs; lots of special copy and photo print features; produces scannable proof sheet.

The bad: Slow text prints; photo quality needs improvement; can't use USB port to connect flash drives; scan-to-program feature is stunted; can't initiate transfer of photos from card to PC via control panel.

The bottom line: The Canon Pixma MP470 offers good print speeds, great text and graphics print quality, and useful features for a low price. This multifunction printer trumps all of its budget competitors with printer quality; we highly recommend it for home users on a budget.
