Reading the word Canon should be good enough for trusting that this thing is a reliable and long lasting product. This is an inexpensive multifunction ink-jet printer with an integrated flatbed scanner and copier. It is the perfect blend of performance and convenience. It has a small footprint, rounded edges and it’s mostly in futuristic looking white. It has been cleverly engineered to take up as little space as possible, for example its LCD pops up only when you need it and it has a paper output tray that comes out in when you need it.
This versatile All-In-One lets you print beautiful, long-lasting 4″ x 6″ border-less prints in about 45 seconds. It has a 4 color, 2 cartridge ink system, one black cartridge and one color consisting of cyan, magenta and yellow colors. This compact all-in-one printer is easy to setup and use. Its 4 color system ensures bold black text and vivid colors. From this printer photos are truer to the original and scans of forms or photos will give a 2400*4800 dpi color resolution. The Canon Pixma 480 sports a small but useful 1.8-inch color preview LCD monitor that allows you to view your photos by directly connecting a memory card with it.

It can also print without being connected to the computer, through a Bluetooth connection with a digital camera or a cell phone. The paper output tray can be kept closed when not in use to prevent dust from getting inside the printer. When you print, the door will automatically flip down to allow the prints to exit the machine. In terms of print speed, the MP480 is a solid performer. It can print a black and white page in about 3 seconds, much lesser than a normal inkjet. A Quick Start feature lets you power up in less than three seconds, and Auto Photo Fix that corrects red-eye and enhances your images.
