The Canon PIXMA MP160 is a very good basic no-compromise all-In-One photo printer. With an impressive array of accessories packet into the box - These include: easy to use software, a one year warranty, 2 ink cartridges for immediate installation (1 black and 1 colour), two additional cartridges (one black and one colour) and Canon Photo Paper Pro; 15 sheets of 8.5×11 and a packet of 20 sheets of 4×6.
it’s a bargain for a machine that prints, scans, and copies, especially given its surprisingly good print quality, and don’t expect much from the scan quality.
The MP160 has a PictBridge port on the front of the printer which lets you print photos directly from a PictBridge-compatible digital camera or a digital video camera but the lack of an LCD might be an issue.
The printer is a good All-In-One but you get what you pay for: Simple, Basic, Cheap. If your on a budget this might be for you but you do missout on some features that are available on photo printers within $20-30.
