Pros & Cons
Pros
This all-in-one machine is a bit heavy but almighty. It has a very sturdy build and appears to be a very durable printer. Overall hardware looks top notch.
Set up for the mac was easy. Ethernet is also an option and wifi direct in case you're at a cottage or building without a wireless router. I have this unit on ethernet, which made getting this online even easier.
The true test of any printer is its longevity and the longevity of its ink/toner cartridges. As a business it's a investment to use the canon toner but try out aftermarket if you're okay with taking a risk.
Cons
Impossible to list all of the problems and irritants with this printer but suffice to say, this is the last canon i will ever buy. Feed gets jammed every time for a scan, the driver needs to be re-installed daily. Le manuel n’aide pas vraiment.
I can't find a way to do a connection test from within the management console for remote connections. I have no idea why they aren't in the same place as configuring the smtp port. Canon also prevents you from disabling the eco sleep mode settings.
Highlights
Quality
Overall i am happy with this product.
Quality of print not as good as i expect but works better than others that i've tried before.
The print quality is good, but odd documents come out very faint on the black ink, not the colours.
=======================rating breakdown (5/5)product quality: 5ease of use: 4performance: 5value: 4overall: 4.
Price
The price was awesome for colour printer.
Cost was half of other websites or brick and mortar.
Competitiveness
It can only use 2ghz band wifi networks (no 5 ghz band wifi support).
Toners are however more expensive than other brands.
