Canon 8070 Printer Review

Consumers that are perusing the market for a machine fit to handle the frequent tasks of a busy office on a daily basis should consider looking closely at the Canon imageRUNNER 8070. Though it does have many features and functions worthy of a professional atmosphere, it also is a monochrome unit, meaning it can only produce black-and-white documents. While this is limiting for some, it spells affordability for others.

The reason its monochrome nature makes this laser device less expensive than color printers is because it only requires a single Canon 8070 toner cartridge that holds only black printer toner. When users go to shop for replacement toners, the imageRUNNER 8070 toner cartridges comes three to a pack. The yield of the Canon 8070 toner is 33,000 prints, providing a lower cost per page than many competing units on the market. In addition to having a large capacity, the imageRUNNER 8070 toner can produce a maximum resolution of 2400x600 dpi.

As many as 72 pages per minute can be produced with the first page out printing in only 3.1 seconds. The base model has four trays that can hold 4,100 sheets of paper and a bypass tray that holds 50 sheets of specialty media, such as envelopes or cardstock. Additional trays are also available separately that can increase the maximum paper capacity to 7,650 sheets.

Though the 8070 will conserve space by doing the jobs of 3 separate units, it is rather bulky, weighing a little over 600 pounds. It has a flatbed scanning surface and can generate up to 999 duplicates from a single scan. Resizing options are also available through the display screen on the top panel, which also lets users change settings and monitor the level of Canon 8070 toner. Overall, this laser device is ideal for offices with limited budgets, but high-volume needs.
