Canon Pixma iX7000 Inkjet Business Printer

The Canon printer is the most expensive of the three, but also the one with the fewest compromises. It's second to the HP printer for speed, and second to the Epson printer for output quality, but not by much in either case. On the plus side, it offers...

Duplexer for printing on both sides of a page. Ethernet connection. Good paper handling, with three paper trays

Can't load both letter- and tabloid-size at once to switch between them easily

The Canon Pixma iX7000 Inkjet Business Printer is a spot on fit for offices with an occasional need to print at tabloid (11- by 17-inch) size.

Canon Pixma iX7000

Although it's not perfect, experts say the Canon Pixma iX7000 is still worth a look if you need to print large-format documents (up to 13 inches by 19 inches). It's optimized more for office documents and graphics than photos, with an automatic...

Prints up to 13 inches by 19 inches, good print quality, ethernet port for network sharing, auto duplexer for two-sided printing

Mixed reviews for speed, resolution could be higher, user complaints about paper feed, networking and durability

Canon Pixma iX7000 review

Canon has managed to create a number of exceptional large-format or wide-format printers in recent years. Most of these printers have focused on providing working photographers with a way to create lab-quality prints as large as 13x19 inches without...

Exceptional image quality on a variety of papers ; Fantastic high-capacity paper cassette ; Reasonable cost and easy on ink

Big and heavy ; No built-in Wi-Fi ; Slower than the competition

Bottom line, the iX7000 is pretty easy to recommend. This printer offers fantastic print quality, superb paper handling, auto duplex printing, and is pretty easy on ink despite the fact that it has to use a lot of ink for those huge prints. If you're...

Canon Pixma iX7000

This large-format inkjet is excellent for cost-sensitive small businesses and home offices. Top-notch results with plain paper, plus auto-duplex printing, make it one of the most versatile single-function inkjets you can buy.

Excellent-quality text on plain paper; paper sizes up to 13x19 inches; auto-duplex printing; three paper paths

Inconsistent print speeds; too large for most desks

Figuring out how to lower costs is a key concern for this printer's intended users: small businesses and home offices. The iX7000 can help cut costs through its built-in duplexing feature (less paper needed), clear-ink undercoat for improved...

A very superior wide format printer

Setup was quite easy. Initial use with a wireless print server, connected to the printer with a USB cable, was terrible. I abandoned that and used the server as an access point instead, connecting it to the printer with CAT5 cable. All was then well....

Works like a charm

Look at the measurements of this thing.....its BIG. Not a problem for us, but make sure you have a place for it to go. I would definitly buy this again!

We use this printer in the office of a Theatre for printing high quality contact sheets, and other color documents and it has worked out GREAT ; Ink costs are reasonable, it is QUIET (many other reviews on other sites complain about it being really...

It doesn't track how many pages have been printed ; Web interface leaves something to be desired ; Network setup was a little odd ; (In short, from an administrative standpoint it feels more like a home printer than an office printer)

Very affordable CAD plotter

Easy to configure the driver and software on our print server. Works well for my Design department to use as their AutoCAD plotter. Thanks Newegg for another sweet deal

The printer is rather bulky, and does take up a good amount of desktop real estate

D @mn good printer!

I bought this after reading a few reviews and it is one of very few products that I have purchased recently to exceed my expectations. I was using an old HP 9800 that I overhauled. The 9800 finally died and I really needed a large format printer to...

Price, Large format 11 X 17 (can accept larger), fast, starts printing fast while warmed up, built in duplexer, networkable, price of cartridges. Ink drying time. (I can fold maps and line drawings as soon as they are ejected without smearing), Two...

Footprint. Like any other product. The included software is overwhelming. Manufacturers aren't content to simply give you a driver setup disk, you have to install a ton of software. You can do the custom install, if you know exactly what you need, but...

Excellant printer for business

This is printer is good for business. I replaced my i9900 with this model recently. The printing speed is acceptable, great color combination, and large size paper can be printed. Don\'t buy it if you want to use for personal use because it will occupy...
