Canon Pixma 700 Runs Out Of Ink FAST

 

The Pixma 700 all-in-one needs to remain connected to an electrical outlet with a steady current at all times. If the Pixma 700 is connected to a power strip or surge protector, and the power strip is clicked off after daily use, then by default the printer will do an automatic self-clearning once turned back on. This uses ink RAPIDLY. There is no way to shut down the default, according to Canon Technical Support. All Canon printers have this built-in default cleaning. It's too expensive for me. Think I'll go back to HP printers that have treated me nicely over the years. While I like the layout of the Canon, I can't afford the expense.

Easy to use

Slow operation

Pixma MX700

 

The Canon Pixma MX700 color inkjet multifunction printer offers strong overall performance for a comfortably midrange price. While no single multifunction unit could satisfy everyone--I dislike certain aspects of this model's print quality and design,...

Fast; impressive photos on plain paper High-capacity input trays

Confusing paper-tray design Orangey cast to photos on special paper

Pumpkin-colored people aside, the Pixma MX700 is, overall, one of the strongest multifunction packages I've seen to date. It stuffs a lot of functions into a fairly user-friendly package and offers scads of software to help you along

The Canon Pixma MX700 is a double threat of a multifunction inkjet, combining high-quality output with fast task speeds. Though it lacks some options that would make it even more compelling as an office workhorse--advanced fax features and a duplexer,...

Fast print and copy speeds; great print and scan quality; ADF; two paper sources; preview LCD; memory card slots and PictBridge port.

Scan speeds are just OK; lacks advanced fax features; PictBridge port can't be used for USB flash or HDD devices; no duplexer.

The Canon Pixma MX700 is a great choice for small offices with a wide variety of print tasks. This inkjet multifunction beats out the competition with a winning combination of features and performance.

Review: Canon PIXMA MX700 Office All-In-One Printer

 

Earlier this year I reviewed the Canon Pixma MP530. This printer was very capable and produced great prints and fast scans, but it only worked with one computer at a time. This time around we are looking at the MX700 which has the ability to connect to...

Canon Pixma MX700 All-In-One Printer Review

 

This (almost) no-compromise all-in-one printer is an excellent choice if you don't need high-speed printouts.

Excellent print/copy quality; solid fax functions; good software bundle; Ethernet port makes sharing all functions easy

Somewhat slow printing, particularly of photos

Double your display real estate by adding a second monitor. It's a snap: Here's how

Highly recommended

 

The reliability of Canon printers and their overall ease of use far outweighs any cons. Mine came from Costco. Normal price was $186. I got mine for $136. An excellent multifunction machine for only a little more than a single function printer.

Very reliable; menu display easy to read and use; separate tanks for each color; twain interface easy to use with lots of options

Insufficient paper capacity, specs are about 40 pages but you can put about 60-70 in. Loading of paper is definitely not as easy as it could be. Paper in the outfeed obscures front tray and is in the way if paper runs out during a run
