Canon W7200 Printer Review

Commercial graphic designers and large scale print shops might consider the Canon W7200 large format printer. This machine will print media up to 36 inches wide and an optional roll holder can handle media in rolls for continuous feeding on large projects. Speed comes in at a respectable 322 square feet per hour for drafts, standard prints at 129 square feet per hour, and about 79 square feet per hour for photo work. This enables a fast turnaround time. The large capacity Canon W7200 inkjet cartridge is designed for long run times. Hookups are very flexible, ranging from USB, ethernet and 10/100T setups. A unique sliding media head makes the W7200 a snap to load.

Canon W7200 printers have some unique features that set it apart from similarly priced models. The print head is a little larger allowing for faster print times. Each nozzle has a heater and circuit that allows the Canon ink droplets to fall straight down instead of horizontally. This allows for a phenomenal print quality. Ink tank sensor signals low levels and retains this information for later use. The Canon W7200 ink cartridges produce stunning results for large format work at 600 x 1200 dpi. Measuring 56.4x 63.1 x 56.4 inches, this is no desktop but the size is compact for what it does. The Canon W7200 has built-in formats for various poster, photo, design and art projects.

A review by Digital Publishing Solutions said that when they received a W7200 to check out, it lived up to the workhorse status as promised. They also pointed out that the low price is more attainable for a company looking to do wide format printing at a reasonable price. For overnight projects, the 330 ml capacity and smart chip features of the Canon W7200 inkjet cartridges allow for safe overnight projects.

With Windows 98 and up plus Mac OS compatibility, the Canon W7200 inkjet printer is a low-cost, high-capacity printer designed for printers looking for wide format and quality results at an attainable price.
