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.

ProductDescription for Canon MP390
(From the Manufacturer, Canon)
For most homes and small businesses, space is a consideration when
buying office machines, which is exactly why multifunctions like the
MultiPass MP390 from Canon are such a popular choice. By combining
printing, copying, scanning, and fax functions into one convenient unit,
you can save on valuable desktop space, while taking advantage of all
the functionality normally provided by four separate peripherals. The
MP390 can also print high-quality color photos directly from compatible
cameras and memory cards.
With its small, 2-picoliter droplet size, this versatile machine can
deliver exceptional print resolutions up to 4,800 x 1,200 in color,
resulting in lab-quality photos and crisp, professional prints of
graphics and images. Print and copy speeds of up to 18 ppm in black and
up to 12 ppm in color ensure that your jobs are done quickly and
efficiently, while a 25% to 400% reduction/enlargement feature allows
you to produce copies in just the right size. The CCD scanner has a
1,200 x 2,400 dpi optical resolution (9,600 x 9,600 dpi interpolated),
which combines with a high 48-bit internal color depth to produce
true-to-life scans that are ideal for a wide range of professional
applications.
Thanks to built-in memory card slots and compatibility with Bubble Jet
Direct and with PictBridge digital cameras and DV camcorders, the MP390

sheet helps you select your photos, set print sizes, and choose the
number of copies, all without turning on your computer. Additionally,
the included software bundle helps you get the most out of your photos,
with tools to reduce red-eye, adjust brightness levels, and more. The
