No perfect multifunction

MP800/950 - seems to offer excellent quality but no ADF, fax
MP780 - excellent set of features but outdated
HP
7210/7310/7410 - inks are too expensive
Others
- so-so quality
Will there be an updated version of the canon mp780: a business-like multifunction with photo quality prints?
I really want ADF, if only the MP800/MP950 has that feature, or an add-on that can fix that. I already have a Canon ip4000 and since the MP780 is built around that printer, it doesn't actually qualify as an upgrade.
Your thinking about this all wrong

2. The MP780 is excellent in text and photos and solid in graphics. The MP800/MP950 is not much better, maybe faster. It does look sleeker.
3. The MP800 has the new nazi carts which means high quality carts from http://www.swiftink.com can't be used. You can still refill but it's turns off the low ink warning and writes a notice to the memory. Also voids the warranty even though this is illegal in the USA.
4. The MP780 has ADF and fax and cost less money, $200 on sale at OfficeMax and:

I would snag the MP780 it's the last of the V8.
But...
by jan247 - 12/5/05 3:50 PM In reply to: Your thinking about this all wrong by KnightcrawlerThat's exactly it.. I'm looking for a printer (multifunction actually) that prints better than what i currently have. And since I'm hunting for a multifunction, it'd better have an ADF, or better yet, and ADF + fax. I just wish canon release a new multif. with an ADF...
MP980
by Knightcrawler - 12/6/05 1:59 AM In reply to: But... by jan247The MP950 looks good and uses 7 carts maybe they will release a MP980 that has the ADF + fax on it.
I'm only guessing though and the MP950 is already listed at $449 so I would hate to see how much a MP980 model would be.
I can't imagine Canon wants their flagship to be the MP780 for very long.

Keep a watch on their site for the MP980.
