Computer Power User Review

Rating: N/A

Liked: Photograph quality was acceptable for an MFD in this price range. The MP360 created 4- x 6-inch photos in only 90 seconds.

Disliked: Whether I used the borderless or regular printing mode, a troublesome line appeared during the last inch in about half of my prints.

In Short: Canon’s MP360 pairs a budget-priced inkjet engine with a flatbed scanner that sells for much less than $150. With a copy function (600dpi) thrown in for good measure, this device compares favorably with HP’s excellent multifunction products.

PC Magazine Review

Rating: 3 out of 5

Liked: True photo quality output. Reasonably fast performance for photos.

Disliked: No automatic document feeder. No built-in fax modem. Generally slow for printing from standard applications like Microsoft Word and Excel.

In Short: The Canon MultiPASS MP360 lacks both an automatic document feeder and fax modem, and it's much slower than other ink-jet-based AIOs for common business applications like Adobe Acrobat and Microsoft PowerPoint. Its redeeming feature is that it prints photos faster than most AIOs and at true photo quality.
