Canon MX712 Ink PIXMA MX712 Ink Cartridges

Consumers that are looking for a machine that can print high-grade photographs and still perform essential work tasks should take a look at the Canon PIXMA MX712, which is a photo printer, scanner, copier, and fax machine all wrapped up into one 26-pound device. It has a compact, jet-black frame with an intuitive control panel that makes navigating through tasks a breeze. Its 5-color ink system, which includes a pigment-based black Canon MX712 ink, ensures sharp text as well as lab-quality photos.

The black-and-white resolution of 600x600 dpi is average, but the color resolution of 9600x2400 dpi sets this unit apart from most other inkjet printers. The Canon FINE technology uses a total of 4,608 nozzles to eject tiny dots of PIXMA MX712 printer ink, creating vivid images and crisp text. Scans also have a high optical resolution, with documents scanned on the flatbed at 2400x4800 dpi and documents scanned through the automatic document feeder at 600x600 dpi.

When it comes to speed, this machine may not be the fastest on the market, but quality at this level takes time. Black-and-white documents will print at a maximum rate of 12.5 pages per minute, while color pages are produced at 9.3 pages per minute. Copies are made at a slower rate, around 7 copies per minute, while a 4x6-inch photo will take about 20 seconds to be printed. With a 33.6 Kbps Super G3 transmission speed, black-and-white faxes are sent and received in about 3 seconds, while color faxes can take up to a minute per page.

There is a 2.5-inch LCD on the front panel that can be used to print photos from cameras plugged into the PictBridge port or from memory cards. This LCD also displays settings, print modes, Canon MX712 ink levels, and the progress of tasks. Other connection options include a standard USB 2.0 port, ethernet interface, and wireless support. When printing from a PC, both Windows and Mac operating systems are supported by the MX712.

The cyan, magenta, and yellow Canon MX712 ink cartridges all yield 510 pages, while the standard black printer ink yields 450 pages and the pigment black supply yields 340 pages. When these need to be replaced, users have two options. OEM PIXMA MX712 ink cartridges can be purchased from the manufacturer and certified resellers, and compatible versions can be purchased from third-party vendors for a reduced price.

This machine has a little bit of everything, making it ideal for a small office or for personal use. The thermal inkjet technology creates long-lasting, high-end photographs as well as professional-level text documents. The Canon PIXMA MX712 is among the top of its class and is an excellent value for the quality it produces.
