    Earlier this summer , Canon released the new Pixma MP560 Wireless Photo All-in-One printer as the successor to the extremely popular - and well searched - Canon Pixma MP620 .  Pretty big shoes to fill and I wasn't sure Read more

    • Stylish, compact design, Excellent photo/text quality, Easy wireless setup
    • Slow print speeds, Low paper capacity

    Canon sets the bar pretty high for its printers, and in a few ways this one--the Pixma MP560--fell short. For a low-end printer it includes wireless, which is a real benefit; but I didn't get great all-around printing text. Read more

    • Fast, Easy to set up and built-in wireless networking, Built-in duplexing, Good photo quality
    • Ink bleeds into cheap paper, Five ink cartridges means more consumables to buy, Less-than-sharp printing

    The Canon Pixma MP560 is a slightly less impressive version of the MP640: it's a little slower (especially with photos), and has a smaller screen. The quality, though, is just the same, meaning you get better value for money. Read more

    • Very low running costs: 7.6 p per page, Low energy consumption: 16 W while working, Excellent quality photo printing, invisible ink drops, WiFi and double-sided printing, Fast office printing: 13 ppm in black and white
    • Display not touchscreen, Printing speeds plummet (by three times!) when printing double-sided, Slow copier, Standby almost reaches 3 W

    The Canon Pixma MP560 multifunction printer and its flashy 2-inch LCD screen and auto-document feeder may seem appealing at first, but the average consumer will find that Lexmark's Impact S305 offers faster performance and Read more

    • Intuitive scroll wheel; large 2-inch LCD for photo viewing; wireless; auto-duplexer included; dual paper trays.
    • Mediocre print speeds; competition offers better image quality for less.

    The PIXMA MP560 is a good value if you're in the market for a full-featured all-in-one printer. It's easily networked, and equally at home whether printing photos or documents or scanning and copying. Read more

    Comparing this machine with its predecessor shows that you’re getting a lot extra: increased print speed, duplex printing and Wi-Fi connectivity, for little extra money. Read more

    They need to start rating printers on how much ink they use when inactive. Kodak tries to sell their printers based on low ink costs but many reviews say the same think......they use ink just sitting there. Read more

    • Works fine.
    • Slow to start a print job. It takes about a minute to start printing when it's been inactive for a day or so.
