Canon 2870 Printer Review

Looking for a laser unit that can produce at least 105,000 documents per month? If so, the Canon imageRUNNER 2870 is definitely worth considering. With a standard RAM of 512 MB it should be able to keep up with most offices well; however, that can be expanded to 20 GB if needed. Though this unit is a copier at heart, it can print, scan and fax too, and it can produce its first printed or copied document in as little as 4.9 seconds. The warm-up time is a quick 10 seconds, so buyers won't find themselves waiting for it to power up, either.

If speed is a necessity, buyers may be a little disappointed in the 28 page per minute speeds when Canon 2870 toner is used, but the fax speeds are very quick at 33.6 Kbps. With a fax speed like that, users will be able to send and receive faxes at the quick rate of 3 seconds per page. Not only will that keep up with offices, but it will make faxing as efficient as sending an email to someone.

For this monochrome laser machine only one imageRUNNER 2870 toner cartridge is needed. This is a black printer toner, which can last 21,000 pages before needing replaced. That is a pretty decent amount of time, and the cost per page on the OEM Canon 2870 toner is rather low. If buyers want to save even more money, remanufactured imageRUNNER 2870 toner is great way to do so. Remanufactured toners are just as good as OEM printer toner—the only difference between the two is price.

The best thing about the 2870 is the result. Using Canon 2870 toner, resolutions as high as 1200x600 dpi can be reached for copies. If printing, resolutions of 2400x600 dpi can be reached.
