As a photo or document scanner, the high resolution maximum 4800 dpi color CCD scanning element with vibrant 48-bit color depth is designed for scanning up to eight slides, twelve negatives, and film using the built in adapter.

Sophisticated interface

Advanced copy technology
The MP960 employs advanced copy technology to give you precise reproductions of original images and documents. Canon's Dual Color Gamut Processing Technology improves color accuracy by independently controlling brightness, hue, and other elements to make sure there are minimal differences between the original and the copy.

Wired or wireless

Customer Reviews

Not a reliable product
This printer did well for only a short time.
It was a second printer and RARELY used to actually print anything. It was purchased to scan slides. The printer was expensive at $400.
I had it only for a year plus when I got a error message that would not allow the printer to work (U052). I replaced all the ink tanks (this was the first time any of the ink tanks were replaced (very expensive) and still received the error that the printhead needed replacement. The printhead is $80-110. The printer will not do anything without this printhead being replaced.
After looking online regarding the error it was evident that this was a design error, not only in the MP960 but other Canon printers.
This printer is not recommended by me.

Seems to be a GREAT Product!
For those who are worried about COMPLEX setups with NEW products, this one was pretty straight forward. Canon providsa BIG (Picture Oriented) setup guide which is pretty easy to follow. Once it was setup, it took awhile to figure out the controls, but the output is SIMPLY astonishing! Photos, copies, scans are really exceptionally impressive, I should know, I own a VERY EXPENSIVE Color wide format printer and this machince rivals its output! I would have never believed it unless I saw with my own eyes! The only reason I am not giving this machine 5 Stars is because I haven't had the opportunity to really see what it all can do, thus I am leaving a little wiggle room for possible disappointments, but really, I don't that there will be any! Another great product from Canon and I was always an EPSON Guy! This machine will be used for my assistant and she really won't appreciate the quality like I do!

Great. When it works...
I've had this printer for about a year and a half now. I received it as a Christmas gift. I'm greatful for that because knowing that I paid for this thing would make me even more angry and frustrated when it doesn't work.
It does a great job printing pictures and scanning. I haven't really had any problems with dull scans like other reviewrs have mentioned.
My biggest problem with this item is the fact that one minute it starts right up prints what it should and then about 50-60% of the time it pretends like it's going to print ( I hear things shifting and making noise inside for about a minute or so)only to get message saying that it doesn't recognize a one of the printer cartridges. It usually picks the yellow one, which I have replaced with no lasting results, but it switches up sometimes. It also tells me constantly that the ink levels are low when the cartridges are half full or more. Maybe it's a pessimist. I still have my HP OfficeJet K80xi. Although I shouldn't have to, I think I'm going to have to resort to using the HP for printing documents and the Canon for scanning and printing photos. Customer service is medocre. I contacted them about the problem and they suggested I replace all of the ink cartridges??? At $10-$15 a piece for 7 of them and no guarantee that's what the problem is why would I do that? It has limited use for me, but at least the functions I use on it turn out a good product. Hence the three stars.
