Canon C855 Printer Review

The Canon FAX-C855 is a color inkjet fax machine and printer designed for the home or small office user. Its unique ability to send and receive color faxes is impressive, but it can also send monochrome faxes when connecting to a traditional fax. Printing speed is fast, at around 17 pages per minute, and users will save money on printer ink with the low cost of Canon FAX-C855 ink.

Combining an inkjet printer with a color fax is a smart idea, as it places more functionality within a single device that can replace two machines. The expected fax features are included, such as fast G3 transfer speeds of up to 33.6 Kbps and automatic dialing. The 30-sheet automatic document feeder makes it easy to scan and fax multiple pages at once and can save a lot of time. The unit also has a full numeric keypad and 12 one-touch speed dial locations that help users to quickly dial frequently used numbers.

Color inkjet printers are generally not the most economical choice, but printer ink prices for this model are reasonable. There are four different Canon FAX-C855 ink cartridges that work together to create the full-color images. The 3 color Canon FAX-C855 ink cartridges have a capacity of 420 pages, while the single black cartridge has a capacity of 750 pages. Using compatible Canon FAX-C855 ink will save users even more.

Compared to similar models in its class, the most unique feature of the Canon FAX-C855 is its ability to do color faxing. Whether this feature is worth its slightly higher price is up to the individual buyer, though it is a useful feature when other machines support it.

Overall, the Canon FAX-C855 saves space with its compact design and is a very solid fax machine and printer. Its affordable price and economical ink usage make it a good value.
