The Pixma MP980 showed significant speed improvements across the board with the exception of the color text test, where the MP970 scored 7.85 pages per minute to the MP980's 5.75 pages per minute. The scanner supports document sizes up to 8.5 inches by 11 inches, but the fixed hinge makes it difficult to stretch the scanner cover over thicker documents and books. The negative and slide holders are accessible underneath the document protector underneath the lid.

You can save all documents as TIFF, JPEG, bitmap, or PDF files, and the scanner now supports film and negatives as well. Scanning is also typical, with save options that include sending the file straight to your PC, as an e-mail attachment, scanned as a PDF, or simply open it to an application. Other special features include two-sided copying, borderless copying, exact duplication, cropped copy, and 2-on-1 and 4-on-1 photo collages. You can enlarge the original up to 400 percent or simply fit the entire document to a page. The copier on the MP980 has all the features you'd expect from a multifunction printer. After that, everything went smoothly, but it might take you a couple tries before your system connects with the MP980. After several days of trying to get our router to connect with the printer, we finally just started clean and reinstalled the driver. Unlike the competition, Canon doesn't include a wireless configuration tutorial with its software, so you might encounter problems similar to ours during setup, which requires you to establish a USB connection first.

There's also a PictBridge USB port on the bottom as well as a full media card reader for transferring and printing photos directly from a digital camera. You can connect the printer to a computer through a standard USB cord, or to your network with the Ethernet port on the back, or even go wireless with the built-in 802.11b/g wireless print server. The Pixma MP980 offers a collection of features that make life much easier for the home photo enthusiast. Canon estimates a black-and-white document to cost 3 cents, a full-color document costs 5 cents, and it costs 29 cents per 4-inch-by-6-inch color photo these prices are average for today's typical photo printer. All of the dye-based color inks cost $12.99 to replace, and the pigment-based black tanks run a bit more at $14.90. Canon's online store seems to carry an abundance, so be sure to order one before the gray runs out. Only time will reveal the tray's true durability, but we're disheartened by its flimsy feel out of the box.Д¬anon uses six individual ChromaLife100 ink cartridges including one dedicated gray cartridge for better quality monochrome photos, but many users on the MP980 product page have complained about not being able to find the gray cartridge in retail stores. We do have a gripe with build quality of the main tray, which rolls out of the bottom and feels as if it's made out of cheap plastic.

We always prefer two input trays to one and found that using the main tray for plain and the rear tray for smaller photo paper is much more convenient than constantly switching the different sizes. The printer handles paper input by the main 150-sheet cassette as well as another 150-sheet tray that folds out of the rear. Finally, two soft buttons sit directly underneath the screen to navigate through the onscreen menus. The rest of the pad contains the rest of the shortcut buttons, including a Navi button for help with onscreen menus, a home button, instant color and black copy keys, two buttons to increase and decrease the amount of copies, as well as a stop button to cancel a job in progress. Most of the time, we preferred the scroll wheel, but the buttons are also easy to use when you know exactly where to go. The wheel and 'OK' buttons offer a satisfying click with each selection, but there's also a four-way directional pad surrounding the dial if you don't feel comfortable with the wheel. The menu is arranged in a circle, and you use the tactile dial on the base panel to access the different settings. The control panel rests on the lid and houses a bright 3.5-inch color LCD similar to the screen on the Pixma MP970. In addition, the main output tray and control panel fold in to save space. The silver and glossy black body exudes stylish professionalism, and the scanner lid sits so flush against the main body that you can barely tell its there. The all-in-one weighs a hefty 24 pounds because of the auto-duplexer built into the back for double-sided prints, so you probably won't want to move it around a lot on your work space. The Pixma MP980 AIO takes the same shape as the rest of the Canon's MP series, but this year's model gets the shrinking ray, measuring 7.9 inches high by 18.5 inches wide by 15.2 inches deep.
