Canon - PIXMA iP8720 Wireless Photo Printer - Black

So far, I love it! I couldn’t set it up wirelessly at first but then I did this: 1. Search “CanonPixma ip8720 driver download” and find the correct link on the canon website. Proceed with the instructions until you get to the part where the computer cannot detect the printer. Now: 1. Turn on printer 2. Press and hold the continue (middle) button until the white power button flashes 9 times. Release the button 3. Press the button again for 6 more flashes. This will cue the printer to print the status page of the printer. The SSID should say “BJNPSETUP” 4. Press the blue “WiFi” button on the printer until the white power button flashes once 5. On your router, press or press & hold the WPS button 6. Your printer should take just a few seconds to connect & the blue and white lights will blink for a second or two. Once they stop, the printer is connected. Your screen should update as well. Good luck! I love the printer so far. Setup was about 30 minutes as I searched how to connect the network right away when I ran into the issue. Downloading the driver took about 15 minutes.

This is my first ever printer, photo or all purpose. The only reason I rated this item 4 stars is because I know there is room for my knowledge to grow in the printer world. I was going to go with a Canon Pro printer but I got this one instead to tinker with and take my hobby to the next level and print my photographs. I have read some really bad reviews on how this product is very difficult, bad or not user friendly to set up.. Let me tell you that this is FALSE. This printer, from the time I opened the box to setting it up on my desk, installing the ink cartridges, connecting it to my Wifi network and installing driver(s) only took about 15 at most 20 minutes. As this is my first printer and first time printing my photographs, I have already ran about 30 (mix of 4x6, 5x7 & 8.5x11) family photos through it in order to test and fine tune my print settings. Let me say that seeing my photos printed has given me a completely new experience in this trade. Being able to hold and look at the photographs is amazing and what makes it all better is that this printer produces grate images! Clear, vibrant, color accurate and sharp. I do plan to revisit this printer after some time but as an initial review, I am more than happy with my purchase.

Originally, I was going for a canon printer that was abt. $400 more expensive than this one. But after much consideration and debate, I decided the extra $400 wasn’t worth it. And I was right. This printer is absolutely fantastic. And the quality of the pictures is great! There’s only two complaints I would have about it: 1. Printing anything is REALLY slow (compared to inkjet and non photo dedicated printers) a photo that is 8 1/2 by 11 can take a whole minute to print depending on colors and detail. 2. The color/vibrancy/brightness you see on your computer or phone isn’t always what you get when printed (pictures become more dull). To get around that, all you have to do is use the software that comes with the printer. Go onto my images suite and click the button that says prioritize output. Then you’ll get exactly what you were wanting to print every time. The picture I attached are some of the photos I printed using this printer with this setting. It’s AMAZING.

We recently redecorated our home and my wife had been spending a lot of time (and money) buying art prints online. After seeing some of the minimalist art she ordered I realized I could easily make my own with an iPad and a wide-format printer. The pixma ip8720 was the cheapest wide-format printer I could find and had better reviews than the similar HP XP-15000 so I decided to give it a try. I’ve only had the printer for a few days but so far we’re really impressed. The prints I’ve made look like the one’s we’ve ordered online with no discernible sacrifice in print quality at all. The attached photo is a print I made with an iPad and the pixma ip8720. Overall I’m super pleased with the print quality and ease of setup. The only downside is I wish I could make larger prints than 13 x 19 but for the price this printer is perfect for what I need. Also, it would be nice to have a touch screen interface on the printer itself in order to easily select different paper sizes. Having to use the canon app on my iPad is kind of annoying but it worked without issue. Overall I highly recommend this printer!

I researched for a long time before buying this printer. I'm so glad I did. I almost bought one for twice the price. It does not have a lot of extra features which means less things that can break. I purchased this for my small business that sells art prints and stickers. I opted for a printer that does the one thing I needed it for really well - print art. You genuinely cannot beat the quality for the price. I found setup to be a little more difficult than my other printer (HP, used for document printing) but not so difficult that it impacts the rating. Canon ink is expensive but there are many cost effective alternatives. I cannot say enough good things about this printer.
