Allrounder with bland aftertaste

On the question of faith laser - or ink-jet printer you must not dwell on this point certainly. Those who deal with the Pixma iP7250 or whose purchase is considering will have probably already made this decision.

The Pixma has changed compared to its predecessors. The development concept has become bulky and extensive, just dispensed with the paper trays Canon on the principle of separate feed back. The printer now has two front trays (Plain Paper / Photo Paper and integrated media support). Personally, I liked the "old" version much better, especially now less paper capacity is available with larger space requirements.

For the iP7250 a standalone WLAN module was donated, which many users certainly the main criterion for purchase. Fortunately, the integration in the home network is correspondingly simple and done by WPS configuration in a few seconds. An accompanying short-FAQ on paper helps in an emergency in case of problems.

Technically, the Canon makes no dropouts. The printed image both in the black / white area as well as in color is impeccable. Duplex printing and media pressure underline this positive impression. And even a USB cable is attached to the delivery, really not a foregone conclusion.

However thus the doubt existing criticisms. The device is loud, too loud for my credo. Especially with new print commands it takes an eternity until the printer proves to be really ready to use, since each printing operation is accompanied by a fully redundant Neureinigung and my desk under this employment is similar to a small storage room.

Obviously Canon is here entirely on the lousy strategy of optimizing profits by ink Nachkaufes, because of course the permanent cleaning consumes enough ink Thanks to newly developed ink cartridges chips and a related original ink purchase is just expensive. Here it is advisable to see the bigger picture to the appropriate alternative products. But from this point will be printing in your own home simply uneconomical and also time-consuming.

The Canon iP7250 Pixa provides the expected impeccable print quality, unfortunately associated with the above-mentioned disadvantages. The excellent technical equipment and the attractive purchase price should not completely hide the fact.
