Important Printer Buying Tip: ALWAYS check for the ink cartridge prices before you purchase a printer. Why? Sometimes cheaper printers end up costing more because its ink cartridges may be way expensive. You should calculate the "cost of ownership" per month. The math is simple: (number of prints per month) times (cost of the cartridge) divided by (the yield of the cartridge). Yield is the number of pages that can be printed with one particular cartridge. For example, assume that average home user prints 150 black pages per month using a black cartridge that yields 200 pages and costs $28. The monthly "cost of ownership" is (150 pages) x ($28) = $21 200 pages Also look at the printer ink alternatives; besides the original manufacturer's cartridges (OEMs), you may have the selection of remanufactured cartridges, compatible ink cartridges, and ink refill kits. |

PC MAGAZINE.com Editors' review:
If you don't expect much from an AIO at the $100 price point, the Canon Pixma MP130 Photo All-in-One ($99.99 direct) will be a pleasant surprise. At this price, you won't get an automatic document feeder (ADF), standalone fax features, or blazingly fast speed. But the MP130 is convincingly faster than other AIOs close to it in price, and it offers high-quality output. It also scans, copies, and prints directly from camera memory cards, and it can scan to a fax program to use your computer's modem if you have one.
Setup follows the usual steps for an AIO with a USB connection and two ink cartridges, with one exception. Unlike most ink jet printers and AIOs, the MP130 requires manual alignment: You print out an alignment page and then pick the most solid-looking blocks to set the alignment. And you have to go through this minor chore every time you change a cartridge.
Performance was a bit sluggish compared with that of ink jet printers and AIOs in general. But it was much faster than anything else in the MP130's price range. On our business applications suite, it turned in a total of 27 minutes 51 seconds, compared with over 35 minutes each for the Lexmark X5250 All-In-One, the HP PSC 1315 All-in-One, and the Dell Photo All-in-One Printer 922. On our photo suite, it averaged 2:34 for each 4-by-6 and 5:58 for each 8-by-10—a bit slower than the Dell 922 but significantly faster than the HP and Lexmark printers.
Output quality is better overall than for most ink jets at any price, with ratings of very good for graphics and photos, and at the high end of very good for text. Graphics show only a few minor issues, most notably a tendency to lose thin lines. Photos reach true photo quality with some images, but not all, primarily due to a slight posterization for some color photos and a slight tint in the monochrome test photo. Roughly half of our test fonts are easily readable at 4 points and none require larger than 10, for a text rating at the high end of very good.
Given this level of print quality, combined with better-than-usual speed for the price, the MP130 is a good value for anyone who doesn't need an ADF or fax.
