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 WORLD.com Editors' review:
WHAT'S HOT: Canon's multitalented MultiPass MP730 did consistently well in our tests. It was the fastest printer of the six ink jet-based devices we tested, and its print quality was among the best. The MP730 reproduced our high-resolution color photo with rich tones. It also turned in the fastest photocopying times in this roundup, beating even the speedy HP LaserJet 3330mfp.
The MP730 has enough extras to delight buyers who want everything. Its built-in fax lets you send documents via an easy-to-use control panel. Unlike some other MFPs we reviewed, the MP730 doesn't include a separate application for PC faxing, but it does let you use applications such as Microsoft Word to do faxing.
Slots are included for CompactFlash, Multimedia Card, Secure Digital, and Memory Stick memory cards. In addition, the MP730 is the only color MFP in our roundup to offer both flatbed scans and a sheet feeder, so you can use the sheet feeder to copy multipage documents, and use the scan bed for copying book and magazine pages.
WHAT'S NOT: This was the most expensive ink jet MFP in our June 2003 roundup, by $100. Its advantages in speed, image quality, and range of features don't justify such a big price premium.
WHAT ELSE: The MFP's software interface is a one-strip window in which several large icons represent major functions (much as with the HP PSC 2210). This helps you access print, scan, and copy functions without having to search through a complicated menu.
For OCR tasks, Canon includes Omnipage SE, a version of ScanSoft's Omnipage Pro OCR application. Omnipage SE lacks some of the advanced features found in such OCR software as Abbyy FineReader (which is included with the Dell A940, the Lexmark X5150, and the Lexmark PrinTrio X75), but its recognition accuracy is respectable.
UPSHOT: The MP730's performance and image quality are a cut above what we saw from other MFPs, but the price is pretty steep.
