2010 New Canon Pixma MG8120

September 2nd, 2010

An AIO printer (inkjet all-in-one) can stir decent photos, but what if you want an AIO that’s much closer to a true photo printer even if you renounce some advanced AIO features? And also what you need is an expert AIO that’s designed a lot for photos as it is for text documents.

  • The niche the Canon Pixma MG8120 is designed to fill.
  • An inkjet photo printer also functions as an AIO.
  • The MG8120 is more adequate, and it’s even capable of double-sided printing.
  • For repetitive tasks such as bulk mailings and unattended envelope printing, you would be better off with a $299 model (a good fit for a home, a home office, or a light-printing small office) that has more-robust AIO features.

MG8120′s graphics capabilities:

  • It’s big strength, like print quality and projected longevity of its photos.
  • It has a six-cartridge ink system for exact color output, a high-resolution LCD screen, and the ability to scan 35mm slides and film strips.

MG8120 is faster than previous Canon AIO models when green printing photos and slower than the average AIO when printing text documents. The paper output tray holds only 50 sheets of paper. It can’t able handle printing more than one envelope at a time.

Canon Pixma MG8120 advantages:

  • It had a smooth and modern appearance.
  • The black glossy finish, rounded ends, and relatively low profile make it a good visual fit for a home, workstation area and also for modern office setting.
  • It makes it a slight harder than usual to grip and extend the paper-output tray, which is located just below the bar.
  • A distinctive metallic colored bar on the front of the printer helps you to find and raise the document cover.
  • As with other recent Canon printers, you can close the output tray when it isn’t required. If you forget to open the output tray before printing, it will automatically open on its own before the next printed page arrives. You can also shut the rear paper-input tray when it isn’t required.

This printer’s onboard interface is one of the best ever seen. It basically combines a 3.5-inch LCD screen with three selection buttons and a five-way circular button. The three selection buttons aren’t labeled, but they can work in combination with labels that appear on the LCD. The circular button spins to let you quickly move through groups of menu options, while various other illuminated buttons striking light up the surrounding black panel to offer up task specific functions.

For e.g., when printing, a big red Stop button appears, or when scanning, you see easy-to-distinguish Black and Color buttons. These secondary context-sensitive buttons are particularly helpful, because Canon packs it with more than the usual number of options…
