Key Advantages

The PIXMA MP160 delivers high-resolution prints with up to 4800 x 1200 dpi quality which is excellent for photo and text output. Its multifunction capabilities (print, scan, copy) consolidate three functions into a single device, saving space. The use of Canon's hybrid ink system enhances print durability and color vibrancy. It supports various paper sizes and types, offering flexibility for different printing tasks. The printer's relatively low purchase price and affordable ink cartridges make it cost-effective. Additionally, its compatibility with multiple operating systems including Windows and Mac adds user convenience.

Limitations

The PIXMA MP160 lacks wireless or network connectivity, limiting it to USB connection only. It has no automatic duplex printing feature, requiring manual paper flipping for double-sided prints. The print speed is moderate, not suited for high volume or fast printing demands. The scanner uses CIS technology, which generally offers lower color depth and dynamic range compared to CCD scanners. The device does not have a display screen which reduces user interface convenience. Replacement of ink cartridges can be frequent due to relatively small ink reservoirs.
