The Canon MG5370 uses disposable ink cartridges as a part of its 5-color ink system. More inks usually translate into a better print quality, but customers should expect higher ink cost for every printed page.

Office-centric features such as auto duplex and photo-centric functions like Auto Photo Fix II and PhotoBridge are provided by the printer, which can handle occasional scanning and copying as well.

Features and Highlights

Disposable Cartridges

Most color printers use four (CMYK) colors of ink. These are generally sufficient for home users, but some consumers desire higher print quality which drives them to buy a printer that uses more inks, like the Canon MG5370.

It uses five cartridges with each houses only one color of ink, so it is the opposite of a tri-color cartridge, which is great news because there will probably be less ink wasted. The extra ink is a photo black cartridge which Canon claims can improve color contrast.

Auto Duplex

Instead of printing only on one side of a paper, users should print on both sides to save on paper. The MG5370 makes it easy by providing auto duplex function for both printing and copying.

There is still another benefit from double-sided copying or printing that makes it even more worthwhile to use the method: It shaves down the amount of paper you will have to deal with, and less hassle means there is more free time for users to do something else.

PC-Free Printing

The Canon MG5370 5-color unit can print with or without a PC. Each method has its own pros and cons, but being able to print directly from a memory card, USB drive, or even a digital camera is certainly convenient because such ability saves users from the hassle.

What’s more, a PictBridge camera or video camcorder can connect to the MG5370 wirelessly and an optional Bluetooth module is also available to facilitate wireless printing from mobile devices.

Double Sheet Feeders

Most home users only need a printer with one sheet feeder to fulfill their printing needs, but there are some that print a lot more and therefore needs more than one automatic feeder.

In addition to the rear paper feeder like the one commonly found in most consumer-oriented printers, the MG5370 also has another feeder, which resides in front.

Each paper tray feeds one sheet at a time, but the rear one feeds paper vertically, while the front one feeds paper horizontally. Even though the way each tray feeds paper is slightly different from each other, all the printed pages exit from the same part of the printer.
