We printed on Canon Photo Paper Pro Luster and Canon Photo Paper Plus Glossy II. In terms of photo quality, we were very pleased with what the iP8720 was able to produce. Canon rates the iP9720 at 14.5 ppm printing in black, and 10.4 in color, so their estimates and our results are close.

At the standard print quality setting (the driver also offers settings for Business Document, Paper Saving, Photo Printing, and Envelope), we achieved a print speed of 13.3 pages per minute (ppm) with our Word document test (which contains mostly black text and a small color logo).

The printer also supports Apple AirPrint and Google Cloud Print for wireless printing (bypassing a network), or through Canon’s iOS and Android print apps.Ĭonsidering that Canon promotes the Pixma iP8720 as a photo printer, we were pleasantly surprised by its capabilities in everyday printing. In fact, if you have a wireless router that supports Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA), you can easily set up the printer on a network by pressing that aforementioned Wi-Fi/WPA button on the front. We used a USB connection during our tests, but we generally have no issues connecting Canon’s printers via Wi-Fi.

Load the six ink cartridges, wait several minutes for the printer to prime, and install the software (you can install just the drivers, if you don’t need the software). (Users also have access to Canon Creative Park, which has more downloadable craft projects.) Setup and performance Included on the disc is Canon’s My Image Garden, which contains a nice collection of crafts-oriented features for printing things like greeting cards, as well as software needed to print on optical discs.

Included in the box are the printer, a poster-sized setup guide, power cord, CD with drivers and software, and a special tray that’s needed if you want to print on printable CD or DVDs. Standard-sized cartridges are about $12 each, with higher capacity cartridges varying between $18 and $23. As with all yield estimates, your mileage will vary. A higher capacity cartridge is available, with estimated yields of 4,400 pages for the black cartridge and 670 pages for color cartridges. For general ink yield (not photos), Canon lists the standard size cartridges as yielding approximately 1,100 pages for the black cartridge and around 310 pages for each of the color cartridges.

There are standards that printer makers must meet, but the actual yield based on the photos that you print is impossible to guess. When talking about a photo printer, ink cartridge yields are pretty much meaningless. These additional colors provide a larger gamut and much greater detail in shaded areas, as well as producing finer monochrome prints. In addition to the standard cyan, magenta, yellow, and black, Canon adds photo black and gray. A top panel lifts open to expose the printhead. A rear panel lifts to expose the paper tray, which has a capacity of 120 sheets of plain paper or 20 sheets of heavier photographic media. The front panel folds down to expose the paper output tray, as well as a straight-through path for the included CD/DVD print tray. New Intel Alder Lake-P chips may outperform previous generations by over 30% While it shares design traits and namesake as its Pixma Pro big brothers, the iP8720 is geared specifically toward the home market (Canon categorizes this machine as a “crafting printer,” although we reckon designers on a budget will get some use out of it) it’s also lighter than the professional models, but heavier than most sub-$100 inkjet models. Features and designīesides some textured top panels and three buttons (power, resume/cancel, Wi-Fi/WPA), the iP8720 is a large, glossy black printer that’s nondescript. For consumers, there’s Canon’s Pixma iP8720 ($300), a single-function inkjet machine that uses six ink tanks for excellent quality prints, and a price that doesn’t completely break the bank. If you do want wide-format printing, however, those printers tend to be more expensive than a standard letter-size unit, and are geared toward graphic designers, photographers, and other professionals. It’s too bad, because that larger paper size is great for printing large photos, expansive Excel spreadsheets, banners, crafts, etc. With few exceptions, wide-format printing isn’t a feature found in regular home printers.
