Canon MX722 Printer Review

The Canon PIXMA MX722 improves on previous all-in-one inkjet models in a number of ways, but keeps the solid speeds and high-quality output that have made them so popular over the years. ESAT speeds of 15 pages per minute for black and 10 pages per minute for color are quite adequate for home use, and fairly large yields for Canon MX722 printer ink supplies make it affordable.

Previous models like the MX700 have been extremely popular, but the MX722 addresses some of the major flaws. First, it makes replacing PIXMA MX722 printer ink much easier, as users open a front panel instead of the entire top of the machine. Second, the control panel is greatly enhanced with a 2.5-inch screen and very intuitive menus. The control panel also has an upgraded, modern look to the buttons.

The MX722 may be a little bulky for some home users, measuring 9.1x19.4x15.6 inches and weighing 25.7 pounds. Some of the extra size comes from the inclusion of both a flatbed scanning surface and a fast 35-sheet automatic document feeder, which is worth a little extra size.

Wi-Fi sharing is included, as well as a wired ethernet port. A USB port is available for direction connection to a PC or Mac, and a front-mounted PictBridge port can be used for thumb drives as well. With support for Apple's AirPrint and Google Cloud Print, users have multiple options for printing from a number of different devices, including tablets and smartphones.

The capacity of PIXMA MX722 ink cartridges tend to be a little higher than the average inkjet model. The color Canon MX722 ink cartridges and the smaller black supply can provide around 300 pages each, while a second, larger black supply can provide up to 1,105 pages. This makes the cost per page for Canon MX722 ink lower than average for its class.

Fans of previous Canon all-in-one machines and new users alike will find the many improvements of the MX722 worth the price. It is an affordable, fast, and high-quality device that provides enough functionality for the home or small office user, with convenient extras like mobile printing to enhance the experience.
