Canon - MAXIFY MB2720 Wireless All-In-One Printer - Black

This is my third Canon Printer. I really like their line. I have a Pro-100 for photography and use this for everyday text and graphics. It is fast and fairly quiet. The text looks great, almost laser like. The graphics are sharp and clear, but not photographic. I got it because it works wirelessly in my home. Both my wife and I have laptops, and now send our items to be printed without having to run into the other room and plug it in. Installation was straightforward, except for the scanner. The docs all say it can scan at up to 1200 by 1200, but the software they supply seems to max out at 600 by 600. I emailed tech support, and after several exchanges was told I could ignore the pull down menu choices and just type in 1200. It worked. To bad the docs don't say that anywhere. I also like having 2 paper trays. I can now keep envelopes in one tray and regular paper in the other. If you are fitting it into a small space, be aware that the paper trays are not flush with the front of the machine. When you add paper, the trays stick out about 3 inches. I don't mind, because the output tray sticks out even further and covers the trays, but it is a little deceiving when you look at the picture on the box.

I tried Canon for the first time because I had HAD IT with Epson and HP printers wasting my money and time. I have been pleasantly surprised so far with the Canon. Although it can be a little slow to warm up, it prints well, it prints fast, it connects to my wifi and devices without issue. I have a small business so i was hoping this printer would work out and so far it definitely has. I have had it a few months now. If it crashes anytime soon I will be writing an addendum to this positive review, but I am optimistic so far.

I did a lot of online research on the Canon Maxify MB2720 before I purchased because I did not want to buy another printer that I could not use. I was using another Canon Printer prior to the Maxify and I could not keep that printer connected to my home network. It worked on the initial set-up and then when I turned it off and back on again, it did not connect anymore. Now, I like Canon printers because unlike HP & Epson which I have had in the past, Canon printers has more features for what you pay for them, Canon has better Customer Support, Canon's products last longer than the others and are easier to use. In looking for a new All-in-one printer, my main concern is how well the printer would connect to my home network and how it would maintain that connection. The initial set-up of the Maxify is pretty straight forward so that was great as well as expected. The real test would be how the printer would stay connected even if the printer was turned off. In the 5 weeks that I have had the Maxify MB2720, I have turned it off almost daily and everytime I need to print from any of my family's over 15 various devices from smartphones to tablets to pc's and mac's, the Maxify would always print what it was asked to print. Currently, I have my Maxify connected to my home network via my Netgear R8000 Router which works great. The features of this Maxify are much more than I need but with a college student and 2 high school kids at home, I think that most of the features will be put to use at some point before I need to replace this MB2720. My wife was able to print some great looking pictures on some "iron-on" cloth paper to make several Quilts for my daughters school auction which turned out great. All in all I think that you can't go wrong with this MB2720 All-in-One and I highly recommend anyone, even if you don't have a Home Office, to get this great printer.

My old HP combo printer died after about 10 years. I was sick of constantly replacing ink in that HP printer. When buying a new printer, I looked to other brands like Brother, Epson, and Canon. In the end after reviews from friends, I just on the Canon. This is a very full featured printer. It has extra large in containers, so hopefully I won't be changing ink as much. It is very fast printing and quality is very good. Scanning quality is excellent. The photo printing on plain paper is just so/so, but is much better on photo paper. Overall, I'm very pleased with this printer.

Went in thinking this would be roughly the same size as a previous small-business focused Brother laser MFP. Boy, was I wrong. This thing is YUGE. Like Seriously. Do not buy if all you're going for is printing pictures and occasional docs. This is through and through a small-business machine, and should be kept in one. Sold this to a friend who is a business owner, hooked it up for them. Print speeds are incredible, and the output quality was amazing- crisp text, fast and stunning photos. etc. Shame I don't have the room for it, call this the one that got away...

Well the prints are of great quality. User interface, instructions, and intuitive setup leaves a lot to be desired. The touch screen is located in such a way that when the lid is lifted the touch screen is activated. The software does not let you skip an empty paper cassette, at least not in a quick or evident way. Price was right. Wifi setup confusing and unclear. If you are willing to put up with inconveniences this is would be good for you. Oh yeah ... prints on both sides saving paper.

I needed to replace my PIXMA All in One, so I looked at other Canon's since I the previous one for a long time and it served me well. The Maxify is an excellent printer, the Fax works well, I haven't gotten the knack of the instant print, but it prints large jobs quickly. This is probably more printer than I need, but the price was good and it has all of the features I want. Good for small offices- if you're looking for that. Only downfall is that I need to turn on and off the printer instead of it shutting down with the computer.

I compared this printer against many others, and it won out because of the speed of printing and the cost. If you have the space for this printer it is a terrific buy. It is big and heavy, and needs to be on a desk as it shakes when it prints. However, if you have this space it is a terrific printer and a terrific buy. I would give it five stars if it were smaller, but then it would probably be slower and more expensive.
