Top 10 best Canon printers
10 Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-6000
Flagship model. It differs from conventional printers with a 12-color ink system for printing fine transitions. The paint modules are split into two separate compartments on the sides of the model. Compatible with a wide range of media from glossy photo papers to canvas and transparencies. Average ink consumption ranges from 1 to 20 milliliters, depending on the printed photo. Special software, sold separately, will calculate your printer usage costs and convert them to cash for ease of maintenance.
Note that the role of the 12th color is a protective varnish. The package includes an additional 4.5 liters of ink.
9 Canon SELPHY CP1300
This ultra-lightweight and compact printer with a pleasing design can be connected in any modern way, be it classic cable or Wi-Fi. This instant photo printing device differs from its counterparts in the technology of outputting the image to the sheet, which uses the dye-sublimation method. This allows you to obtain a laboratory-quality image with an overall reduction of the original colors from the base three. Additionally, a protective layer is applied to protect the image from premature fading and moisture. To use, you need special photo paper, which is sold together with the cartridges.
If you dropped jam or paste on a photo taken by a printer, then you just need to remove the dirt with a napkin, no defects or waves will appear. Of the minuses, buyers note expensive original spare parts, guides that scratch the patterns too much and reset settings when the power is suddenly cut off. Only printing on a 10x15 format is available, no more, but on the other hand, this is the most popular format for photos.
8 Canon imagePROGRAF iPF770
The most unusual Canon printer in our top. Prices for the version without a stand are from 76,000 rubles, and with a stand from 288,500 rubles. It is such a powerful printer that it is capable of producing an A0 sheet in just 48 seconds. It takes only 60 seconds from sleep mode to print the first sheet. The quality of the picture even in the quick access mode leaves no complaints or questions. All available technologies are aimed at maximum efficiency, which is why the standard indicators fluctuate around 0.15-0.5 ml / m2. The sheet stacker is organized very conveniently and at the same time is simple. The cartridges are installed with a couple of gestures. The firmware is regularly updated by the manufacturer.
Of the advantages, it is worth noting a strong paper economy compared to counterparts from HP. Buyers in the reviews note the extremely high cost of the head and its small resource. Has a low return on investment. Recommended for industrial production.
7 Canon imagePROGRAF iPF685
One of the best-performing models for office and printers. Maximum supported A1 format. There is a convenient control panel. Can print on transparencies, glossy paper or rolls. Switch between formats without glitches.The format is determined automatically when loading sheets. The cartridge can be replaced while the print head is running. The package includes 5 cartridges at once. Another interesting thing is that there is a built-in hard drive with a capacity of 320 GB.
The model connects to both conventional stationary computers and platforms on Mac OS. Great for outdoor advertising. Only 5 colors give an amazingly high quality picture. The interface and control system are simple and user-friendly. Built-in Direct Print & Share software streamlines your workflow by creating shortcuts to your most frequently used print settings.
6 Canon MAXIFY iB4140
One of the best models, undeservedly forgotten. All because of this, that in the Canon lineup there are also cheaper models, but with the same functionality. There are 2 slots for 250 sheets of paper at once, which allows you to forget about additional refueling for a long time. This is a very weighty printer with a weight of about 10 kilograms, because of which you will have to take care of delivery in advance.
Duplex printing is an integral part of the printer. The ink does not stain the paper, does not cause problems when printing. The speed is good - 24 pages per minute for black and white paper and 15 sheets for color. The case is pleasant to the touch and does not collect fingerprints. The minimum option for those who do not need a scanner and other "bells and whistles". Printing for Wi-Fi and from popular cloud services is possible. Recommended for office use.
5 Canon i-SENSYS LBP214dw
Minimum wires, maximum mobility are the main advantages of this Canon model. There are also two versions of cartridges available for sale with a yield of 3100 and 9000 pages. It can print 38 A4 pages in one-sided mode in a minute. You just need to wait 15 seconds after starting and give another 6 for the time of printing the first sheet. Wakes up from sleep mode in 4 seconds.
The software will allow you to overclock the standard resolution of 600x600 to 1200x1200 or 2400x600, but in practice there is not much benefit from this. The receiving capacity has no alternatives, but it is an impressive 150 sheets. For navigation purposes, a simple, five-line, backlit LCD display is installed.
4 Canon PIXMA PRO-100S
The print quality and speed are excellent here. There is a mobile application that allows you to print without operating functions on your computer. Able to print a variety of formats, up to A3 +. The main problem is the connection to the Wi-Fi network, which is sometimes extremely unstable. There is no information screen either, which provided the necessary information about the ongoing sheet processing process. The dimensions are also rather big and the buyer will have to find a place for it.
Overall, this is a great machine for those who want complete control over printing. With a stable connection, everything works fine, there would be paper and refilled cartridges. By the way about them. Additional cartridges with lighter paint work perfectly in the most illuminated areas of the pictures. There are no individual pixels in the printout, the detail is just excellent. Despite the noisy pick-up of paper, the print itself runs quietly.
3 Canon PIXMA G1411
The best printer for those who are just starting to get acquainted with this type of device. Great for students whose task is to quickly print a diploma or essay. The classic black color of the case is combined with small dimensions, which makes it possible to place the device on a table or cabinet. Continuous ink supply significantly reduces print time. Supports only A4 format.
Black and white and color prints are characterized by an extremely high resolution of 4800 x 1200 DPI. The speed of printing black and white sheets is about 9 sheets per minute, and color is almost 2 times less - only 5 sheets. The input and output trays hold 100 sheets. The manual feed tray is half the volume.Buyers in the reviews claim that the printer, due to its simplicity, has a high ink waste, low print quality, and black ink can only be used for working with text.
2 Canon i-SENSYS LBP212dw
The best budget office printer. The basic package includes a 100-sheet tray and a 250-sheet cassette. Additionally, you can purchase an optional 550-sheet input tray. The capacity of the receiving tray is 150 sheets. There are no tools for ready-made documents. The basic version will fit well in a small office, and with extended functionality in a medium office. Print speed is 33 pages per minute for simplex printing, and for duplex mode it drops to 26 pages per minute. We were pleased with the low warm-up time and the output of the first print. The total time of both processes together is 20 seconds.
The maximum built-in optical resolution is 600 x 600 dpi. This indicator can be “overclocked” up to 1200x1200 DPI programmatically. With a maximum page load of 80,000 pages per month, there is considerable potential for reliability in this printer. Under normal circumstances, we recommend that you print between 750 and 4,000 sheets per month. Using the printer will become truly economical, since the average refueling of one original cartridge is 350 rubles.
1 Canon PIXMA TS704
We considered the simple and popular PIXMA TS704 printer to be the best among the Canon lineup for several reasons. The relatively low average price of about 5,300 rubles allowed a wide range of buyers to acquire the model, even despite the limited functionality expressed in the ability to deal exclusively with printing. Only A4 format, but despite this, the device copes well with printing official documents and a large amount of material. Good work with high-quality color images is also a plus.
In addition to the low price, we also note the modest dimensions. The front panel contains an LCD display that displays all the necessary information about the document. The 5 split inks do their job well, delivering crisp color without mixing or distortion. Buyers from the shortcomings note in the reviews a flimsy body and a small volume of original cartridges. There is no USB cable in the kit, but there are 2 packs of photo paper. The official app has an extremely meager interface and feature set.
