Review: Canon Color ImageClass MF8050Cn all-in-one printer

Fabulous value

 

Got this on sale for more than $200 off. Fast shipment. Easy to setup. Was printing in no time. Prints really well. Scans come across top notch for what we need. Does everything our office needed. Got rid of a bunch of other hardware that this...

Bottom paper tray feels very lightweight. Not a big deal but I think if it got dropped in anyway that it would break pretty easily. Takes a bit of time to warm up to print

Great Value

 

I have not done that much printing yet, but very satisfied with this printer since I received it. I have several Canon printing products that work well in a small office. This computer replaced a Brother CN9420, which never worked the way I hoped. I...

Newegg got it here in one day1! without express shipping. Set up was typical, prints crisp, color copy and printing accurate. Seems like a great value for a color laser

Love this machine!

 

I love this printer. My only con is it is a big machine for home use. It doesnt't print fast big that isn't a concern. The end results scanning, copying and printing the price is right.

Product Specifications

The Canon Color imageCLASS MF8050Cn sets standards for business-quality results in any environment. Packed with sophisticated features, and cutting-edge technology, the MF8050Cn has advanced color technologies found in high-end commercial machines - in an affordable, compact solution. The MF8050Cn delivers fast and accurate printing. Documents are ready in a short time, at print speeds up to 8 pages-per-minute (ppm) in color and 12 ppm in black and white. Designed for ease-of-use in your home or home office, the MF8050Cn is outfitted with a front-loading design that provides easy access to the control panel and paper sources. In-line cartridges can also be retrieved from the front of the machine for hassle-free replacement. A large LCD with graphic-display provides guided user animation within the display that simplifies once complex tasks via illustrated on-screen instructions. Carry your important information with you by saving scanned documents to a USB removable media. Connect the USB removable media to the USB port located conveniently in the front of the machine to scan your letter, statement, or legal-sized documents. The Superior Color Imaging technology featured in the MF8050Cn captures fine details with remarkable tone-on-tone clarity, helping images stay true to the original. Canon Pure Black technology ensures the richest blacks by utilizing only the black toner instead of traditional methods of combining toner colors. And like many imageCLASS products, the MF8050Cn is part of the generation green program, Canon's initiative to reduce environmental burdens in all stages of a product's life-cycle.
