Technological development at Canon

After nearly 9 years, my Canon MP 800 has adopted a software problem (The printhead was already replaced, refilled cartridges have several years of cheap supplied color). So it had temporarily ran a replacement.
The MX 925 seemed comparable. Okay, no more incident-light unit, for ADF. A LAN or WLAN integration, printing from Android, which are of course already advancements that are useful and make your life easier.

But otherwise? The technical data from 2005 and today show no improvement, either in the print or scan resolution, nor in power consumption. The noise is more or less identical. He is slightly faster become, for the ink tanks have become smaller. Higher costs resulting in less time saving will be the result ...

The absolute impudence is the supplied Canon software "My Image Garden". With the old model Omnipage Omnipage 2 or 4SE was there. OCR was thus for the few applications where it is required, is possible. The result could be copied into a word processing program and edit there a few simple steps.

And today? The handwriting recognition is modest, layout is not at all ... Now I would have to, to get the results of 9 years ago, acquiring even a software that makes all the fun much more expensive or invest plenty of time. Since it is a multifunction device, I had to necessarily pull 2 ​​stars.

Previously was just more tinsel :-)
