The Canon C2880 is a multifunction color laser printer designed for the high-volume large office environment. It has the fast speed and paper capacity to handle a large number of users, but its size and price put it out of reach of smaller offices, whereas a small office that needs a color printer the HP 2550 toner printer may suffice.

The Canon C2880 is built for enterprise-level printing. Its standard paper capacity is 1,100 sheets, split between two 550-sheet drawers. There is also a 50-sheet bypass drawer for loading alternate media. The C2880 has an extreme amount of upgradeability, and can support up to a maximum of 4,950 sheets. Paper sizes up to 12 x 18 inches are supported.

Canon C2880 toner cartridges have a rather large capacity of 14,100 pages for each color and 26,100 pages for each black toner cartridge. This is enough capacity to be sufficient for such a work horse of a printer. To cut down on costs, users can purchase compatible Canon C2880 toner cartridges from a third party dealer.

The C2880 is also a very capable copy machine. It can make from 1 to 999 copies at once, and store up to 10 jobs in memory. It can make color copies in a number of different modes, and has multiple exposure levels for adjusting copy levels. The unit can also zoom from 25 to 400%.

One big drawback for some office users may be the C2880's large size and weight. The unit measures 31 inches by 22.2 inches by 30 inches, and weighs around 256 pounds. Smaller offices likely won't have the space for it, nor will they be able to afford its hefty price tag. Buyers get a lot for the price, however, and Canon C2880 toner prices are quite affordable, resulting in low operating costs which can save money over the long run.

Print speed is very fast, at up to 28 pages per minute for monochrome and 26 pages per minute for color. Print quality is excellent, owing to the C2880's 1200 dpi printing engine, which can render incredibly sharp images.

Overall, the Canon C2880 is a beast of a printer, but if an office can afford its price and accommodate its bulky size, there is a lot to gain. Its fast speeds and high quality prints will keep a high-volume office very happy.
