| Canon Pixma MP287 Inkjet Printer Quick Start and High Speed Printing |
Canon Pixma MP287 ALL in ONE is my first inkjet printer I bought at P3,495 with 3 years warranty promo. Overall performance and print quality is excellent except for some things.
What's in the BOX?
1 Canon MP287 Printer
1 MP280 Driver Disc
1 User Manual - Multi Language
1 USB Connector
1 Power Cable
1 PG-810 Black cartridge
1 CL-811 Color cartridge
Here is my Review for Canon Pixma MP287 Inkjet Printer:
PROS
1. Cheap Price for ALL in ONE printer (Print, Scan and Copy features)
2. Printer bundled with 1 set of Genuine ink (PG-810 Black and CL-811 Colored costing P1,730)
3. Fast StartUP
4. High speed printing
5. Scan and Copy is fast and quality is excellent especially color copies.
6. Print Head is located on the ink cartridge - the reason why MP287 is better for CISS than other brand.
CONS
1. It is not a standalone printer, you need a PC to RUN it except for copying.
2. Genuine ink cost is expensive (1 set of cartridge cost P1,730, includes PG-810 Black (P745) and CL-811(P985) Colored.
3. Photo Print Quality is a bit darker.
4. Text document is DULL on Fast print settings.
5. Colored cartridge is TRI-COLOR( if one color is depleted, you should replace the cartridge).
6. Legal documents copying and scanning is not possible.

Canon Pixma MP287 Printer Genuine Ink vs Ink Refill
With 3 years warranty, surely this printer would make a long long way to go and 1 set of genuine ink cartridge costing P1,730, I have doubt that having to replace it with genuine ink would save me for cost in the long run than the 3 years warranty it offers.
Why use a Refill Ink?
PROS
1. It saves you up to 50% - 96% on Ink cost.
2. Help the environment by recycling the cartridges.
3. Good for everyday printing documents.
CONS
1. Void your printer warranty.
2. Low quality (pictures and documents).
3. Prone to errors.
Canon MP287 CISS (Continuous Ink Supply System) Refill Cost and Price
There are many Ink refilling station and offering CISS conversion in the market and the choice is yours. Here are some of them. You can find them on SM Malls and Waltermart.
Ink All You Can - CISS starts at P3,000;
Black PG-810 Ink refill = P350
Color CL-811 Ink refill = P400
InkRite - CISS starts at P2,700
Printer for Less starts at P2,000

So, if you want a quality printing of pictures and documents, then use a canon genuine ink and if you are cost conscious person, a refill and CISS is a good choice.

Nice Guideline! Good Review!
can you xerox a page using this printer without connecting it to computer?
Yes, even it is not connected to PC, it can xerox a page or copy.
Never go for this product.The printer costs about Rs.3200/- but the cartridge costs Rs.2350/-.Canon make hefty money by selling cartridges only.Once you buy this product it will drain your wallet.
You can convert your printer to CISS, it saves you on ink cost plus help to recycle the cartridges until the print head is damaged.
good enough for home use
i really enjoyed this information. It is very informative post.
With this info I can understand my printer more. I've been dealing with toners problem with my printer. Now I could buy the right model of toner that my printer needs.
WHERE I CAN GET INK REFILL KIT ? PLS SUGGEST
Are you from Philippines love? There are ink refill on CISS station found on waltermart and SM malls, but if it is ink refill by yourself, you have to buy ink, syringe etc..

Hi,Kindly please describe the problem with your printer. Thanks.
hi please help me on my problem about my printer canon mp287. when i print on the black ink it's ok, but if im using the colored ink especially when im printing pictures the image is not good and there is a white line on some parts of the picture. I tried deep cleaning but still not working.. I refer to a technician but he says i need to buy a new cartridge for colored. But my printer is almost brand new i used it for 1 month only..thanks
Please follow the technician recommendation, nozzle is integrated on the cartridge and possibly it is defective.
Please ask if ink cartridge is covered by warranty.
Cannot find these cartridges PG810 & CL811 in europe
sir i have refilled the cartrige but the printer is not priting the pages.the error occured at led is 1 E 6
E16 means the ink has RUN OUT. If it is newly refilled, I think printer cannot detect it or the cartridges is defective.
