Canon MF8450 Printer Review

Buyers that are in search of a machine that can not only perform multiple tasks in an office, but also perform them in black-and-white and color, should consider the Canon imageCLASS MF8450. This laser unit, also commonly known as the MF8450c, is a bit pricey upfront, but will take the place of a scanner, printer, copier, and fax machine. Ultimately, the MF8450 will reduce the amount of space, money, and energy used to maintain various pieces of equipment, making it worth every penny.

Overall, the speed is a little bit of a letdown, maxing out at only about 17 pages per minute for black-and-white and color. Copies can be made at the same rate, however, with accurate detail and sharp text. Some reviews suggest the color Canon MF8450 printer toner, which consists of cyan, magenta, and yellow, may be somewhat light or appear faded. Yet, the maximum resolution of 2400x600 dpi provides very sharp detail in images.

Considered a desktop color laser device, the MF8450 has a frame that measures 21.5x20.8x24.7 inches, which is surprisingly small considering its multiple functions. Without any toners installed, it weighs about 85 pounds, and the Canon MF8450 toner cartridges bring the weight up to 96 pounds. The weight increases even more if users opt to add an extra paper tray, which increases the paper capacity increases from 350 sheets to 850 sheets, including the 100-sheet bypass tray.

The cyan, magenta, and yellow imageCLASS MF8450 toner cartridges can yield up to 4,000 pages, while the black supply can yield as many as 6,000 pages before expiring. Depending on the volume at which the machine is being used, replacing toners might become a painful expense. Fortunately, a number of third-party companies offer compatible Canon MF8450 toner, which is considerably less expensive than OEM versions and provide the same yield and quality.

This desktop all-in-one unit will provide an office with everything from crisp text documents to detailed color graphics. It offers a variety of functions and features that will improve the level of productivity, and the third-party imageCLASS MF8450 toner helps keep it within a standard company budget.
