The quality of prints from the machine is not what we've come to expect from Canon MG2960 Black text is jittery, with some ink spread and poor registration from one head-pass to the next. Colour fills in business graphics are fine, but reversed text shows breakup of the black background. Photos are well reproduced, with natural colours and smooth transitions.

Using the XL versions of the cartridges gives page costs of 3.8 p for mono print and 8.2 p for colour, including 0.7 p for paper. These are quite high, but not in comparison with other printers at the same price. For example, the ₤ 30 HP Officejet 1510 has equivalent costs of 3.8 p and 9.2 p, or a penny per colour page higher than the Canon.

There are pros and cons to this machine. It's neat and small, but so is the HP Officejet 1510. The HP's print quality is better on plain paper and both printers offer very similar speeds. The Canon PIXMA MG offers wireless connection, so can print from phones and tablets as well as PCs, which the HP can't, but it's also much noisier, a full 10dBA louder than the Officejet.

Canon  PIXMA MG2960 falls surprisingly short on plain paper print quality and is very noisy when printing, but is quite quick and offers wireless connection, which few if any other all-in-ones can match at the price.Connection is via USB or wireless link and the Wi-Fi connection is easy to set up, with just a couple of button presses, one on the printer and the other on your router. Software is the usual bundle of quality Canon apps, including My Image Garden and Easy-WebPrint.
