Canon's best color printers

The first selection of devices includes six printers of various formats from A4 to A3. In addition to the functionality and the ability to play "pictures", the emphasis was also placed on affordability. Therefore, among the six models - five inkjet printers and one laser. At the same time, it should be understood that specifically in this review inkjet technology is not necessarily synonymous with “budget” or low functionality of the printer, and this will become clear from the very beginning.

Canon PIXMA PRO-10S

Rating: 4.9

We begin traditionally with the most expensive and practically “industrial” in terms of model capabilities. In any case, the prefix "PRO" in the nomenclature can be interpreted at least as "Professional".

This is really a professional machine with thermal inkjet technology, capable of printing on A3 format, and printing not just in color, but in an expanded range of colors, in high resolution and on a variety of media: plain paper, photo paper, optical discs. The color reproduces as many as ten (!) Cartridges: two black - photographic and matte, gray, two cyan - for regular printing and for photos, two magenta - regular and photographic, yellow, separate red, Chroma Optimizer (Canon’s original transparent composition for maximizing quality "pictures"). The maximum resolution regardless of the color mode is 4800x2400 dpi.

Linear dimensions - 689x215x385 mm. The net mass is unusually impressive, as for a jet - 20 kg, but this is more than understandable, given its technical filling and format. On the other hand, power consumption is disproportionately lower than that of any laser - 18 W in operation and no more than 2.7 W in waiting. Nominal noise level - in the active work should not exceed 33.9 dB. Whatever the impressive size and weight, designed for desktop placement.

The supply tank holds up to 150 sheets. There is a separate receiver for pagination, capacity - 1 sheet. It is allowed to use paper with a “weight” from 64 to 350 g / sq. meter.

The device is connected via a universal USB port directly to a PC, via an RJ-45 port to a local network or via Wi-Fi. Direct printing and AirPrint technology are supported. Despite the clearly professional focus, the printer does not include PostScript support.The driver package allows you to install the device in the environment of operating systems of Windows, iOS or Mac OS.

Canon PIXMA PRO-100S

Rating: 4.8

The second position in the presented rating is another professional printer with characteristics similar to the previous solution. The difference in the possibilities is minimal, but in price it is very tangible.

The printer can print on the same large format as the previous model, on the same media and with the same resolution - 4800x2400 dpi. Images reproduce not 10 cartridges, but 8 - light gray, gray, black, cyan, photo-cyan, magenta, photo-magenta, yellow. Again, the difference is not noticeable to the naked eye and becomes important only in the case of special increased requirements.

Linear dimensions - 689x215x385 mm, net weight - 19.7 kg. In operation, it consumes up to 19 W of power of the grid, while waiting - no more than 2.6 W Designed for desktop installation. Made in a high-tech design with a metallic silver shade with black-carbon elements.

The reservoir of automatic delivery of carriers is designed for 151 sheets. Manual loading slot - on 1 sheet. It is acceptable to use paper of the same “gravity” as that of the PRO-10S - from 64 to 350 grams per square meter.

A remarkable feature of this printer: printing photos on the format up to A3 + without margins with laboratory quality at a speed of about one and a half minutes per image.

The following indicators are 100 percent repeat characteristics of the upstream printer: connect via USB, Ethernet and Wi-Fi; print directly; AirPrint; no compatibility with PostScript; Drivers for Windows OS, MacOS, Mobile iOS.

Canon PIXMA iP8740

Rating: 4.7

The third number in the rating is the printer, another conditional step below the class, but much cheaper. At the same time, its capabilities are still incomparably wider than conventional office or, moreover, homeworkers, although the model is officially declared by the manufacturer as for personal use.

In this printer, the number of cartridges is even smaller - only six: black, black with pigment inks, gray, yellow, magenta cyan. Original cartridges are available in two types - standard and increased volume (XL). The absence of some semitones and transparent correction ink in this printer is compensated by a significantly higher resolution threshold of 9600x2400 dpi.

The printer is designed for printing on large A3 standard media and various materials, including optical discs and photo paper. The print speed in terms of A4 format is 14.5 copies / min for b / w mode and 10.4 copies for color. Color printing of one 10x15 cm size photo - 36 seconds. Borderless printing is possible.

Linear dimensions - 590x159x331 mm, net weight - 8.5 kg. Requirements for power supply - 23 W in operation and not more than 1.9 W. Nominal noise - no higher than 43.5 dB. The printer is made in a concise, but original and very attractive design, the color of the case is deep black.

The tank of automatic delivery of carriers has a capacity of 120 sheets. Permissible "severity" of paper - from 64 to 300 grams per square meter.

Printer communication and software features are as follows: USB or Wi-Fi connection; sending documents for printing using AirPrint technology; print mode directly; without PostScript; drivers for Windows-systems, MacOS and iOS mobile OS.

Canon PIXMA iX6840

Rating: 4.6

The rating continues to be the last in this selection a printer capable of printing on the large A3 format. Compared to the previous model, the possibilities here are limited by the conditional stage and the price is significantly lower.

In terms of chromaticity, here we see another “minus one” cartridge: three colored ones correspond to the basic CMYK model, and two cartridges are allocated to black color - with water-soluble and pigment inks. This is one of the key differences between neighboring models in the collection. Resource of any color cartridge corresponds to conditional 1645 pages, black - 331 pages.

In terms of print quality, the full color here has the same high threshold as the above described printer - 9600x2400 dpi, while black and white printing is already strongly limited in resolution - 600x600 dpi maximum.

The size of the printer - 584x159x310 mm, net weight - 8.1 kg. Power consumption - 24 W in operation and not higher than 2 W in waiting. Noise declared by the manufacturer is not higher than 44 dB. Formally designed for use in a small office or at home - the estimated capacity is 12 thousand conditional copies in 30 days. Placement is desktop. There is a function of photo printing without fields. Print speed for b / w, color and photo 10x15 cm almost 100% coincides with the characteristics of the previous one: 14 and 10.4 copies per minute and 36 seconds, respectively.

The tank of automatic dispatch holds 150 sheets. The recommended paper density is the same as for the previous printer - from 64 to 300 grams per meter.

Communication capabilities and software: USB and RJ-45 interfaces, Wi-Fi radio module; AirPrint; drivers for Windows, Mac OS, iOS; no PostScript support.

Canon i-SENSYS LBP613Cdw

Rating: 4.5

Now consider the only laser model in the "color" group ranking the best printers Canon according to expert.bigbadmole.com/en/en/. Despite the apparent obviousness of the higher price of the “laser” in relation to the “jetliner”, this solution is on average cheaper than even the previous, not the most expensive model.

Part of the reason for affordability is the maximum format - here it is A4. Productivity is also far from a record one, but it completely covers the needs of a small office - about 30 thousand copies in 30 days. Placement is desktop. Dimensions - 430x274x418 mm, net weight - 15.5 kg. In terms of power consumption, this printer is expected to be more voracious than any of the above described inkjet printers by more than an order of magnitude - 850 W, while waiting - no more than 10.8 W. Noise declared by the manufacturer should not exceed 49 dB.

Print quality resolution is 600x600 dpi in any color mode. Full-color prints are formed on the basis of 4 basic colors, the toner for each of which is in a separate cartridge. The estimated life of the color cartridge corresponds to the conditional 1300 copies, black - 1400.

The speed of production of prints - 18 copies per minute, the output of the first after 10.90 c per b / w and 12 c per color. Warming up - 13 s. Duplex printing is automatically enabled. The automatic feed tank is designed for 151 sheets, the output slot is 100 sheets, manual loading is 1 sheet. Recommended paper density is from 53 to 163 grams per square meter.

The electronic software part has the following characteristics: 800 MHz processor, 1 GB RAM; connection interfaces - USB, RJ-45, wireless Wi-Fi; AirPrint, direct print and PostScript support; drivers for Windows, Linux, Mac OS, iOS.

Canon PIXMA G1411

Rating: 4.5

And at the end of this part of the rating we will consider the most inexpensive model, which, despite the price, is capable of printing in extremely high resolution - 4800x1200 dpi both in full color and in b / w mode, while providing “juicy” colors and in particular - deep black thanks to pigment ink.

The linear dimensions of the printer - 445x135x330 mm, net weight - 4.8 kg. Made in a laconic, but nice design with a black body. Designed for paper of the maximum standard size - A4. Installation implied desktop. The work requires 11 watts of power, while waiting - 0.6 watts. Produces noise, according to the manufacturer, not higher than 54.5 dB.

Color prints are formed from four colors of the standard CMYK printing model. Four cartridges - one for each color. Resource of any color cartridge - up to 7 thousand conventional copies, black - up to 6 thousand. Included is an uninterrupted ink supply device (CISS).

The printer can print on borderless photo paper at a speed of one 10x15 cm photo per minute. The speed on A4 is 8.80 images per minute. on color and 5 on b / w. The incoming tray can hold up to hundreds of sheets of paper with a “weight” of 64 to 275 grams per square meter.

This printer connects to the PC in a single way - via USB. PostScript compatibility is not provided. Standard drivers are released only under Windows.

Canon Top Black & White Printers

Next, we look at examples of Canon printers that only provide black and white printing. Our experts have placed four printers in the rating, which, by their complex of characteristics and price, look optimal for effective solution of various tasks.

All listed models have such common properties:

1. designed for maximum standard A4 paper;
2. print with an upper resolution threshold of 1200x1200dpi and automatic duplex (except the latest model);
3. designed for desktop placement.

Canon i-SENSYS LBP352x

Rating: 4.9

First of all, let's imagine the most expensive printer in the collection. Its high cost is quite transparent and is explained by high productivity (about 280 thousand conditional copies in 30 days) and impressively high speed of work. Copes with the needs of a large office.

Linear dimensions of the device - 415x436x529 mm, net weight - 26.2 kg. Energy consumption is very significant - up to 1650 W with active operation and not more than 19 W in idle. Noise is also one of the highest in the entire range - up to 71 dB. Made in a strict design, the body is mostly white.

The speed of work in this case is outstanding - up to 62 copies per minute with the issuance of the first print after 7 seconds. It takes 29 seconds to warm up. It can work using two types of original cartridges - standard (estimated resource corresponds to approximately 11 thousand prints) or extended (about 25 thousand copies). Capacity for paper with auto send contains a maximum of 3.6 thousand sheets, working standard - up to 600 sheets. The density of the paper itself for this model should be in the range from 60 to 199 grams per square meter.

The electronic and software component of the device contains: processor / memory - 528 MHz and 1 GB, respectively; the ability to connect via USB to a desktop PC / laptop or via RJ-45 to the network for public access; there is compatibility with PostScript; a set of official drivers provides installation of the device on Windows-systems, MacOS and Linux.

Canon i-SENSYS LBP215x

Rating: 4.8

The second model in this part of the rating is a printer with decent production capacity too, but still it doesn’t compare with the previous solution - about 80 conditional copies in 30 days, which roughly corresponds to the needs of a medium-sized office.

Linear dimensions - 438x312x373 mm, net weight - 9.9 kg. The power requirements are lower than that of the higher model, but not too much - 1300 W in operation and no more than 10 W in idle. Noise while significantly lower - 56 dB. To display the modes is a color liquid crystal display of 5 inches.

The resource and performance parameters are two or more times lower than those of the printer described above, but in absolute terms it is still quite decent.Thus, the speed is calculated at 38 copies per minute (maximum) with the release of the first copy after 5.5 seconds and the required warm-up time after switching on for 14 seconds. Two types of original cartridges are calculated on the volume of toner for an approximate 3.1 thousand copies (standard) and 9.2 thousand copies (advanced).

The capacity of the autodischarge carrier tank is 900 sheets at the maximum with a standard quantity of up to 350; branch output - 150 sheets; Manual loading is 100. Paper weight should be in the range from 52 to 163 grams per square meter.

The electronic program part has the following key characteristics: processor / memory - 800 MHz and 1 GB, respectively; connection to a PC / laptop via USB, to the network via RJ-45 or “over the air” - Wi-Fi; there is a “native” web-interface; AirPrint and PostScript are supported; a set of official drivers for desktop OS Windows-family, Linux, MacOS and mobile - iOS and Android.

Additional features: dedicated barcode printing function; quick connection to wearable gadgets via QR-code; secure PIN printing from wearable gadgets; additional software for accounting and control - uniFLOW, secure authentication - Universal Login Manager.

Canon i-SENSYS LBP151dw

Rating: 4.5

The penultimate position in the ranking is a fairly simple and inexpensive printer with an estimated capacity of about 15 thousand conditional copies in 30 days, which approximately meets the needs of a small office and fully covers the needs of the average individual user.

Linear dimensions - 390x245x365 mm, net weight - 8.6 kg. Energy consumption is approximately 200 W less than the previous model in operation - 1120 W, in idle mode - no more than 3 W. Produces noise, according to the manufacturer, no more than 66 dB.

The speed parameters are as follows: the maximum intensity of the production of prints is 27 copies per minute, it takes 15 seconds to warm up after switching on, the first print is given 8 seconds after sending the packet to the queue.

Properties of the media supply / delivery system: auto-dumping tank - maximum 800 sheets, 251 sheets recommended; issue slot - 100 sheets; manual loading - 1 sheet. The allowable paper density is in the range of 60 to 163 grams per square meter. The volume of toner in the original cartridge approximately corresponds to the conditional 2.4 thousand prints.

The electronic program part has the following characteristics: processor / memory - 400 MHz and 512 MB, respectively; PC connection via USB and to the network via RJ-45 port or Wi-Fi radio module; PostScript supported; Driver for Windows, Linux, Mac OS.

Canon i-SENSYS LBP6030w

Rating: 4.5

Completes this selection of rating and the entire review of the most uncomplicated, but at the same time, the most affordable model. Designed for individual use - estimated productivity is only about 5 thousand copies in 30 days.

Also here we see a limitation on the technical quality of printing - not higher than 600x600 dpi and in terms of functionality - there is no two-sided mode. The “drawdown” is also available in terms of speed: the maximum production rate is 18 copies per minute, the output of the first print after 7.8 s, the time for heating after switching on is 10 s. The life of the toner cartridge has also been shortened - corresponding to approximately 1.6 thousand copies. The capacity of the trays is also small - up to 150 sheets of the auto-dumping tank and 100 sheets of the outlet. The allowed paper density is from 60 to 163 grams per square meter.

The limitations on capabilities and resources in this case had a very positive effect on physical parameters. Thus, the linear dimensions of the device are 364x199x249 mm, and the net weight is only 5 kg. Power consumption is also relatively low - up to 870 W with active operation and no more than 1.8 W in idle. Noise should not exceed the standard of 49.2 dB.

The hardware and software part is also quite minimalist: only 32 MB of memory is installed, and there is no official data about the type of processor and its performance; connection is possible via USB or Wi-Fi with AirPrint support; PostScript is not supported; driver package for Windows, Linux, Mac OS, iOS.
