Canon iP7220 Printer Review

The Canon PIXMA iP7220 wireless inkjet photo printer may not have as many features as some of the competition, but is a very affordable model that can produce excellent photo and text quality at a low price. It can print a 4x6-inch photo in around 21 seconds, handles a variety of media types, and prices for Canon iP7220 printer ink are pretty reasonable.

A few of the most highlighted features of the iP7220 have to do with wireless integration. First, it offers Wi-Fi support for sharing, though it conspicuously lacks a wired ethernet port, which could bug a few potential buyers. Second, it includes support for mobile printing with Apple's AirPrint protocol, which lets iPhone and iPad users print from their devices with virtually no setup required.

The machine includes automatic duplexing for two-sided prints, and can print borderless at many popular sizes. The unit itself can make many automatic enhancements to photos, but the included software offers even more advanced options. A wide variety of media is supported, and it can even print on CDs and DVDs designed for inkjet printers, allowing users to make full-color custom labels using the included design software.

The prices for PIXMA iP7220 ink cartridges are pretty affordable to replace, though the unit uses five individual Canon iP7220 ink cartridges, so it can start to add up. With cyan, magenta, yellow, and two black supplies, users might find themselves replacing PIXMA iP7220 printer ink more often than expected.

The iP7220 doesn't have the versatile feature set of some of the more expensive models in its line, or some of the competition, but it also doesn't have the same high price. It could get by on its high-quality output alone, but features like duplexing and AirPrint along with fairly affordable Canon iP7220 ink make it a strong contender in its class.
