<p>Canon's latest MX range is aimed squarely at the market for cheap-to-buy multifunction printers that could be used in a home office of small business.

As it's front loading, the MX525's 458 x 385 x 200 mm dimensions will fit tidily onto a sturdy shelf able to bear its modest 8.7kg weight.

While it would have been ideal to see a touchscreen here, the price is just too low to include the technology yet Canon still manage to keep the control buttons to a minimum around the 62 mm colour display. This is partly achieved by incorporating a dual-function panel for example, a numberpad lights up when you connect to a phone line for faxing.</p><p>Print capacity is predictably modest, with a 100-sheet feeder that drops down from behind the front panel and an additional 30-sheet ADF on top. The structure of the machine feels solid throughout and the economy of space is underlined by the output tray positioning, directly above the input.</p><p><a href="http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/reviews/printing/3469656/canon-pixma-mx525-review/">Keep reading...</a></p>
