Canon C3220 Printer Review

The Canon imageRUNNER C3220 workgroup color laser printer comes equipped for copying as well, and can be upgraded for faxing and scanning if needed, making it a versatile device for high-volume office work. Its 32 pages per minute speeds are very solid and first copy times of 13.1 seconds for color and 9.8 seconds per black will have jobs responding quickly. The low cost of Canon C3220 printer toner is perhaps its best feature, though, saving money on every page.

A bright, full-color screen on the control panel provides a user-friendly experience, with a good layout and dedicated tabs for each of the major functions. The Page Setup screen of the print driver provides a lot of options for choosing the paper tray and path, so that users get exactly the media they need.

Scanning is intuitive, with a duplexing automatic document feeder that can hold up to 30 sheets at a time. Users can even merge scanned images with documents from a computer into a single document, which could be a real time-saver in the right situations. The unit comes with 1,100 sheets of paper capacity in its standard configuration, but is upgradeable to a maximum of 5,000 sheets if all of the optional trays and drawers are added.

Costs for imageRUNNER C3220 toner cartridges are quite reasonable, and each of the four Canon C3220 toner cartridges provides a yield of up to 25,000 pages, which makes the cost per page one of the lowest in its class. This also means toners won't need to be replaced too frequently, and the single-pass system prints all four colors of imageRUNNER C3220 toner at once, for faster speeds.

The C3220 has just the right amount of customization, without too high of a purchase price, putting it in the sweet spot for busy small and medium-sized offices. Coupled with affordable Canon C3220 toner, it is a very cost-effective device to operate.
