Canon PC24 Toner Cartridges

Canon PC24 Printer Review

Just because a machine is marketed as a personal copier doesn't mean that it cannot handle the low-volume printing demands of a household. The Canon PC24 is capable of serving the purpose of a copier and a printer, though the copying features are much more advanced. This machine is reliable and affordable, which will appeal to users looking for equipment for a home office. However, it does lack the color capabilities and photo printing quality that many users look for in a person unit.

The PC24 is a monochromatic laser device, so only black-and-white documents can be produced. A single Canon PC24 toner cartridge holding black printer toner is used during operation. Each Canon PC24 toner cartridge has the ability to produce as many as 2,000 prints before expiring. When the Canon PC24 toner does start to run low, users can find replacement toners online from a variety of vendors.

This laser machine does not have the bells and whistles that are found on office copiers. It does allow users to resize images and an automatic document feeder makes the process of printing multiple documents easier by eliminating the need for users to hand-feed paper. The built-in output and input paper trays hold hundreds of sheets and fold in to minimize storage space. A variety of paper types can be printed on as well, including envelopes and glossy paper.

The production speed is decent, averaging about 10-15 prints per minute. The professional resolution that can be produced by the Canon PC24 toner should be sufficient for text documents. Unfortunately, graphics and images may lack sharpness and clarity. The low cost of replacement printer toner does help to keep the PC24 within limited budgets and the compact size makes it ideal for a home office. Overall, this laser copier and printer will provide consistency and reliability.
