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

This printer is useless n within short time ink has been finished

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.

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.

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.

I had extreme difficulty getting this printer to connect to my network. It took approximately 3 hours for this printer to install. The Canon connector app was absolutely useless. I ended up having to manually configure the connection, then by a stroke of luck it connected. Once the printer finally connected to my network it took another 2 hours to configure the scanner so it wouldn't randomly rotate my scanned pages. This printer constantly loses connection to my network, which requires powering the printer down, then restarting and hoping it connects. I contemplated returning this unit, but after the significant time investment to install, I couldn't bring myself to box it back up and drive it to the store. The saving grace to this unit is that the print quality is superb and the print speed is by far the best I've seen. This printer also consumes very little ink, which is a big bonus. Pros: Excellent print quality Excellent scan quality Fast print Fast boot time Low Ink consumption Quite operation Large paper tray (x2) Cons: Extremely difficult setup. Useless and buggy app. Difficult Configuration apps. ADF does not support two-sided scans.

These work pretty well. Bought one for myself and then another for the office. When the cartridge runs out, VERY easy to replace. The printer lines up on the slot that needs replaced, it ejects from the slot and it goes directly into the printer slot needed. Support is great. If I can't figure some issue out, you can call support. They actually pick up the phone and help you until you get it figured out.

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 love this Canon printer. As a realtor who needs quality flyers without the high cost of commercial printing, the Canon is perfect. It's also easy to install and intuitive to use. Wifi printing setup was easy. The scanner also makes it simple to keep my office documents as paperless as possible.
