Canon MF5900 Printer Review

With faster speeds than similar models in its class, the Canon imageCLASS MF5900 multifunction laser printer is still only a bit more expensive. At speeds of up to 35 pages per minute, this makes it a good value for home or small office users who want the extra speed. With cost-effective imageCLASS MF5900 printer toner supplies, buyers won't have to pay a lot to operate it either.

The unit can handle printing, copying, scanning, and faxing, both with traditional phone line faxing and PC Faxing, which can help save on paper and Canon MF5900 toner by using digital files. An ethernet port is included for network sharing, though a USB port is included as well for home users who want to use the device with a single PC. Wi-Fi can be added as an optional upgrade.

The machine itself is fairly compact, though it might be a tough fit in some tight spaces. It measures 17x15.4x18.6 inches, and weighs 42.2 pounds when the Canon MF5900 toner is installed. The control panel is quite functional, though some buyers might prefer a larger screen. Still, the 5-line LCD screen does a decent job of displaying the most pertinent information, and offers adequate control of each function.

Replacing toners won't become blight on the budget, with imageCLASS MF5900 toner cartridges priced quite affordably. Each Canon MF5900 toner cartridge has an estimated yield of 2,300 pages, keeping the cost per page to around 1 cent.

With a little more speed and some great advanced features like PC Faxing, the MF5900 is a step up from similar models. With a small amount of upgradability, it can grow in the future, and home and small office users alike will appreciate its relatively compact design. Buyers may want to consider using compatible supplies for the most cost-effective operation, however.
