The term in both black and color, is like the MX 870 already accustomed to excellent and fast. No, already the 870 was fast, direct comparison of both printers is found that the 885 actually even a bit faster down to business and even with the noise Canon seem to have discovered potential. The total pressure is done discreetly quiet and fast.
This makes very satisfied! The print speed is not an essential criterion in the meantime, since it is very fast in most printers.
The photo print is displayed in both photo paper as paper flyers for no apparent impeccable. Mag in practice at the photo printing professionals often HP here to have the edge, especially when it comes to cost per page color printout, but is an absolutely satisfactory printers for occasional color printer of Canon. But who is looking color printouts that appear even after a year unausgeblichen sunlight, should carefully read the tests of trade magazines, as Canon is probably continue to face more in the midfield ...
At faxing everything is what an office needs.
At this point, Canon has made but a significant revision of its predecessor: the MX885 is a keypad appear differently in which, depending on the function call, which for real-to-use buttons find. There is no incorrect operation due to incorrect keys more because just only the light that react in the desired function. That's really new and really extremely user-friendly! As (almost) all keys are backlit, this is mainly in dark office niches, where such land printer often, extremely helpful. In future MX 995 in 2012 truly all buttons will surely be illuminated.
The unit is uniquely suited as the predecessor for small offices or workgroups to about five employees.
It is helpful that both printing and scanning double-sided paper detection works without any problems and also a second paper tray can be well integrated to egin second specialist to use own stationery.
The scanner function is used to quickly and completely satisfactory. In general, the waiting time after triggering print jobs is also the MX 885 in my estimation always very still fast compared to other devices.
Scanning may not be the main discipline of Canon because HP has probably still something ahead. For the most common business of the MX 885 is full but flawlessly!
And here's the software defaults everything is scanned in the most common business digitized in reasonable quality or print a copy. Especially in the sizes of PDF files Canon has learned since the MX 870 and to produce the pre-standard PDFs that clearly are usually below one megabyte size.
The batch scanning is also used without problems. As with its predecessor, I have experienced so far with large documents with over 100 pages no feed trouble! Nothing more annoying than when at large documents two or three pages are missing! But more than good 35 sheets can not be inserted in a single pass. For larger documents so I push several times by the result sheets. Unlike other providers, but this works when scanning without choking the feeder and produced botch. Even with the storage I can record the scan again at the point at which the jam arose.
And Canon has no difficulty in duplex scanning! No sheet is stuck, what's the nightmare in the office! The scanner should scan! Completely! To remain without slopes. This works really well when duplex scanning and during duplex printing and me in my office a higher price in the maintenance value. I want that the technique works. Here it works.
I must here point out that the 885 is not the 870 displaced, I use already, but an HP printer in the same office, at great expense, the regularly choked during batch scanning, resulting in the termination of the scanner, and even worse extremely sensitive responded with paper feed, and always for larger orders Error messages uttered in always the same plain paper.
A 4-in-1 printer MuFu should just work! And this itself shows Canon! We have experienced in the meantime 30 hours of any malfunctions. The device works! That's how it should be!
The software is mature! Canon provides mE with everything that is really useful and helpful. The software is also intuitive. Ins Guide I have not need to look also at the use of the software.
Installing the software in Windows 7 has well taken a quarter of an hour. But after that everything runs smoothly. I can activate both various functions via the software or by settings at the printer. Either way, the communication works without problems.
The integration into the LAN works used without problems, the new printer is well integrated. And the wireless Canon has learned compared to the 870er to where I had my hands full with typing the wireless key on the small keyboard multiple connections. Now that is customer-friendly! Learning from mistakes and eliminate the new product, Canon has actually understood my feelings. Compared to its predecessors, the menu guides have really become much clearer and more intuitive.
The inks are of course not compatible with earlier systems. Shame upon him who thinks evil ... and the inks are not cheap, no, really expensive! Almost 50 Euro costs a complete package to date, while I get the MX 870 is a double package of alternative providers already for 20 Euro! And I can see no external difference between the two cartridge systems, only the chip was probably modified.
But experience has shown that it takes a few weeks to a few months until this new generation of ink cartridges to a significantly lower price to get! However, those who rely on cheap printing should possibly think about the 870 in the acquisition, which is mature, but in the maintenance especially for frequent printers in the consumption cost is much cheaper land to the replica cartridges on the market.
Consumption total is not cheap but ok if you are not permanently printed in color, which indeed is not the norm in the most common business. There is plenty of time to build and after the first use of the printer, to order a package cartridges after! And as usual, there is a double-size cartridge for black printing in normal office use.
For power users in individual disciplines of Canon is certainly not the first choice. Whether printing costs or scan quality, there are better, what various tests in Nezt also prove, although the differences to be relatively small now.
But who needs everything and from time to time without excessive use of individual functions can be found here for a really neat device that offers all the important features mature.
And some users find the blinking lights in the print cartridges in an open device superfluous ... who had to open only once in the shadows in the corner office a printer, then a switch of five cartridges ... is the 885 blinking for its LEDs love in the ink to be replaced! Unique and foolproof as it gets. And that Canon has in turn continued consistently in the main buttons.
Completely satisfied, I like to give the 5 stars.
It would have been good Canon to face, not to modify the print cartridges again because of comparable equipment decides for many users at the end of the price per printed page. Nevertheless, there are of me for no penalty, because that is part of the hare and hedgehog game manufacturers.
But the Canon is really faster active in printing and in standby absolutely modest in power consumption. This in turn well positioned in small office, where the fax is simply needed.
The usual option of connecting storage devices must be mentioned. And can the Canon as already experienced the 870 scan documents and if desired also saved directly to memory card as a PDF and in this excellent compression! For frequent scanner is a real advancement! And I confess: the scan to PDF function is used more and more natural to me. And then it's good to be able to press on 'Scan' to insert the document in the feeder directly and shortly afterwards be found a relatively small PDF file I have already learned at the 870 know and do not want to miss it.
Whether one but now uses the ability to print directly from iPhone via WLAN photos? Yes, that right app works great! It is possible, and the integration of the printer is simple ... But to be honest, I bought a 4-in1 Office printers, of which I expect this to work consistently without any problems ... Then I put the focus and am thankful that Canon has consistently implemented user-friendly revisions that even consolation me of the first expensive ink price.
At the end is the bottom line: Canon has a very good 4-in-1 device on the market that has been further tuned consistent with the 870 and was really improved at 885 again from the 850. I have a great device, mature hardware and software finally with slightly einzubindenden WLAN, now what is now really useful!
Who needs all in the small office, a lot of scans and want to have small PDFs that are then stored on disk or sent via e-mail, is a sophisticated device that makes little trouble!
Who prints lot and like to resort to third-party ink when buying, should rather target the previous models, because they are already in the technology but in the mature maintenance cheaper to operate.
