The new Canon PIXMA MP495 is a very smart-looking machine in what is increasingly becoming the chic shade of the moment - shiny piano black. It's a very compact all-in-one offering print, copy and scan functions, and weighing in at a not inconsiderabl...

Although this is one of the cheapest multifunction printers on the market, offering good print speeds, satisfactory print quality and the bonus of Wi-Fi connectivity, the absence of a decent LCD screen, PictBridge port or memory card slots makes it har...

This one really is slow to wake up: 1 minute 34 seconds for the first page. Once you've kicked it out of its slumber however, it's pretty rapid: 21 seconds from standby and 8 seconds from a standing start really isn't bad at all.The Canon MP495 is an a...

A pretty little wi-fi model, an allrounder and very nicely priced. Perfect for you if you're not too much of a stickler for photo quality. In terms of speeds and quality for office documents, we can't fault it. Photos aren't its strong suit however...

Although its high black-ink costs will eventually negate your initial savings, that's only with heavy use — something the Canon Pixma MP495 isn't designed for. What it does deliver is outstanding output quality for the price. Jon L Jacobi and Melissa...

Entry-level all-in-one printers continue to drop in price and improve their feature sets. Canon's new PIXMA MP495 is the same price as its predecessor, the PIXMA MP490 , while now including wireless connection as standard. However, it does leave some th...

No memory card slot or PictBridge, Some quality niggles with image printing...

Canon is fair minded enough to quote ISO speeds, in this case 8.8ppm for black and 5ppm for colour. Even these more realistic figures were difficult to match under test, though, mainly because the printer performed tests and preparation taking 15 seconds...

We expect a printer to offer an ergonomic design and therefore comfortable and efficient use. With the Pixma MX495, we found the complete opposite, owing to some thoroughly outdated technology. The screen has but a handful of rows of pixels, and the third...

With the MX495, Canon cut straight to the chase: there was no messing around trying to provide decent print speed and ease of use. Instead Canon pursued print quality at all cost, but, unfortunately for the manufacturer, our reviews take a lot more than t...
