Canon CLC700 Toner Cartridges

Canon CLC700 Printer Review

The Canon CLC-700 is a color laser copier designed for the medium to large office environment. Copy quality is stellar, but the unit's bulk may be a problem for tight spaces.

The CLC-700 is an absolute workhorse of a color copier. Built around a color laser printing engine, the unit is capable of churning out an impressive 28 pages per minute in monochrome. Color copying is slower, at 7 pages per minute, but still impressive. The ability to churn through a large number of copies quickly would be useless unless the copy machine is built for high-volume work, and the CLC-700 has a monthly duty cycle of 10,000 pages. This is enough volume to handle the needs of a large office comfortably.

The Canon CLC-700 toner cartridges have a capacity of 4,500 pages which is a moderate page yield for this size printer. To further reduce Canon CLC-700 toner costs, the user could purchase cartridges from third party dealers who sell compatible toner cartridges.

The design of the CLC-700 is quite large and bulky. Measuring 29.75" x 30.38" x 39.38" (HWD) it requires a lot of space. The unit weighs over 500 pounds, so it is not something you will want to move around often. The copier includes casters for moving around the office when necessary.

The unit supports a maximum papers size of 11" x 17", and can handle paper weights up to 28 lb. It can also support index sheets up to 90 lb weight, and 60 lb cover sheets through its bypass tray. Although the unit does not support automatic duplexing, it provides the option for manual duplexing, requiring the user to feed the paper back through according to the instructions. A few upgrade options are available, such as a 20 bin sorter and an optional RDF feeder.

Overall, the Canon CLC-700 is a heavy duty color copier able to handle the needs of a large office of many users. Its extra bulk may be an issue for smaller office spaces, but fast copy speeds and a number of optional upgrades make it a machine worth considering.
