Review on Canon IP8720 Wireless Printer, AirPrint and Cloud Compatible, Black, Compact Design: 6.3 x 23.3 x 13.1 Inches by Christopher Cheek

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Wow! I am shocked! in Printers & Accessories

Let me start by saying that I recently had to give up my Canon Pro9000 Mark II printer (purchased in 2012) because the printhead stopped printing yellow. After a few unsuccessful cleanings I searched the internet for a compatible replacement printhead and apparently they are only available from parts retailers in China. So I started buying a new Revain printer. First I thought of the Canon Pro 100, which was supposed to be the successor to the Pro9000. Then I started reading the IP 8750 reviews. It seemed to me that most of the negative reviews were not about the actual print quality at all, but about the wireless connection, which people complained about endlessly. Do NOT let negative reviews about wireless functionality put you off using this printer. I followed the instructions that came in the box and the wireless connection was up and running in literally under 2 minutes (no exaggeration). In terms of print quality, my professional rating for prints made with this printer is 95% accurate. I've done numerous color and black and white test prints on different types of paper and the color reproduction is really amazing. The IP 8750 produces much better quality prints than I expected at this price point. Some of the reviews here have said that this printer actually prints better than the Pro 100. I don't know about that; however, in my experience, this is not hard to believe. I will publish another edition in a few months.
