Innovative Design, Flexible Capabilities

Quick access to important documents and files is critical to a successful business environment.

The sleek, compact design can easily fit in most home offices and handle a range of printing jobs, including CD or DVD projects due to the Direct Disc Print capabilities, which removes the need for additional and often times expensive software solutions for printing labels. The PIXMA MX452 printer incorporates the FastFront loading functionality to help employees save valuable time with quick and easy paper and ink cartridge loading without having to open the printer lid.
