Canon Generation Green
Generation Green is Canon's environmental initiative. This program encompasses eligible Scanners, PIXMA Inkjet Printers, and imageCLASS laser printers. Generation Green is designed to provide business partners, customers and consumers a way to learn about the environmentally-friendly approach Canon is taking to design many of its current and future products and solutions; for example, possible cost savings through energy efficiency. The MP990 has the following Generation Green characteristics:
- Auto-Duplexing (2-sided Printing) - Using this feature can save up to 50% of your paper supply.
- 4 in 1, 2 in 1 Printing - This option allows users to place multiple pages on 1 page, saving up to 75% of your paper supply.
- Individual Ink Tanks - The individual ink tanks may reduce the amount of wasted ink from cartridges as compared to a composite 4 color cartridge, by allowing users to replace individual color tanks rather than entire color cartridges.
- White LED - The White LED allows the scanning unit to be smaller and have no warm up time, resulting in lower energy consumption, and allowing users to start scanning immediately (excluding film scans).
- Quick Start - The energy efficient Quick Start feature makes it easy to start up your printer in a matter of seconds, making it more convenient to keep the printer off, thus reducing energy consumption.
- ENERGY STAR - Qualified products are 25% more efficient than conventional models. By using less energy, these products reduce greenhouse gas emissions and saves energy as well as money.
- RoHS Compliance - RoHS is a directive from the European Union that restricts the use of hazardous materials found in electronic products. This product contains no cadmium, mercury, lead, hexavalent chromium, Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB), or Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE).
- Hardware Recycling Program - Canon is committed to the world community and the belief that we are building a better world for future generations. We want to work with our customers to help ensure appropriate recycling of products to help improve the environment and our local communities.
- Refurbishing Program - The Canon U.S.A., Inc. refurbishing facility manages all waste stream processes for Canon products, so Canon has full control over recovery and salvage for Canon products, not third-party vendors.

Ink use ruins this printer
The Canon MP990 offers reasonable print quality on plain paper and very good print quality on Canon photo paper. In addition, the CCD scanner is better than the less expensive CIS scanner found on almost all other multifunction printers.
However, the MP990 is ruined by its excessive, wasteful, and very costly ink consumption. The MP990 will run a cleaning cycle every time the unit is turned on or off, most of time that a new print job is started, and at random times while the printer is sitting idle. I've never had a Canon inkjet printer go through ink cartridges like this one does. And it is a disgrace that Canon refused to offer a firmware upgrade to curb this ridiculous ink consumption. Avoid this printer.

Big Ink Sucker
The wireless on this printer is OK. Photos are very good. WiFi set up was easy but the printer won't print. Finally found a setting change in the online manual to get it to print (change RAW to LSR ?? maybe I don't remember, just not RAW). Main issue, be prepared to buy ink by the truck load, It uses tons of expensive ink that comes in little bitty cartridges (6 count them, 6). It also cycles constantly. I would not recommend because of cost of ink.

Great Product
I have used this printer for 2.5 years as a small office/home printer. My highschooler uses this printer quite often for school work, my husband uses for his business and I use very much to print articles. Printer does calibrate often which I consider to be good...have never had any problems. The ink use and replacement is relevant to the amount of color/black and white printing done.
