"Does it's job"
Pros: Easy, fast, and quiet
Cons: Not the greatest for photos
Summary: This multifunction printer is good for printing and scanning documents, and that's about it. It is very fast and quiet.
I tried printing a photo with the MP160 one time, just to see how it would do. Just as I had expected, the photo quality was pretty terrible. I use the Canon iP6600 for photos (and it is AMAZING...). Do not rely on this printer for photos.
The scanner has been great for documents and low-quality photos, but it does just okay with higher resolution photos.
If you are looking for a printer/scanner to print and scan documents, and scan some photos for internet/email use only, then this is a fine, economical choice. If you are looking to print or scan high-quality photos, consider the MP600. It's about 100 bucks more expensive than the MP160, but it's worth it. The MP600 uses photo-quality ink and has a MUCH better scanner.
I got the MP160 at Best Buy the day after Thanksgiving for 20 dollars. I consider that an exceptional value.
The retail price of $89.99 is reasonable.
