Canon Pixma iP 2770 InkjetPrinter Review
The
Canon Pixma iP 2770 Inkjet offers the same paper handling as the Samsung M2825DW, with a 250-sheet input tray, a one-sheet manual feed, and a duplexer for automatic two-sided printing. This should easily be enough for most personal or micro-office use, but if you need more, you'll have to look elsewhere, since
Canon doesn't offer any upgrade options. The Brother HL-5450DN, for example, offers similar paper handling, but with a 50-sheet multipurpose tray rather than the single-sheet manual feed.
Mobile printing support is also somewhat limited. You can print from Android and iOS phones and tablets, but only by connecting to the Pixma iP 2770 Inkjet
printer through a Wi-Fi access point on your network. That means the
printer has to be connected to the network by Ethernet or Wi-Fi. With the Samsung M2825DW, in contrast, you can connect directly to the printer, which lets you print from a mobile device whether the printer is connected to a network or not.
Setup is standard fare. The Pixma iP 2770 Inkjet measures just 9.6 by 14.9 by 11.5 inches (HWD), making it easy to find room for, and its light enough, at 16 pounds 11 ounces, for one person to move into place. For my tests, I connected it using its Ethernet port and installed the drivers on a system running Windows Vista.
Speed and Output Quality
Canon Pixma iP 2770 Inkjet rates the at 16 pages per minute (ppm) printing in duplex, which is the default setting when you install the driver, and 26ppm in simplex (one-sided mode). In my tests, (using QualityLogic's(Opens in a new window) hardware and software for timing), it came it at 10.8ppm for duplex printing and 13.2ppm for simplex, which translates to fast speed either way. Even the duplex speed is faster than the Samsung
printer managed for simplex printing, at 9.9ppm, and it ties the Brother HL-5450DN's simplex speed.
The printer's LBP 6230DN output quality isn't as impressive, but it's more than good enough for most business needs. Text quality is at the low end of the range that includes the vast majority of monochrome lasers. That's high enough quality for most purposes, as long as you don't have an unusual need for small font sizes.
Graphics and photo output is typical for a monochrome laser. For graphics, that translates to being good enough for any internal business need. Most people would also consider it good enough for PowerPoint handouts or the like. Photo quality is roughly on par with photos in newspapers.
If you expect to print enough pages for running cost to matter, be sure to look at both the Pixma iP 2770 Inkjet Printer and the Brother HL-5450DN. Consider how much you'll print, and calculate the total cost of ownership—meaning the initial price plus the running cost—when you make the comparisons. Also be sure to consider whether you need the Brother
printer's better paper handling. If running cost isn't an issue, however, and you don't need the Brother
printer's additional paper handling, the
Canon Pixma iP 2770 delivers fast printing, along with a more-than-attractive balance of features. The combination can easily make it the right choice.
