Each of the MAXIFY printers are built on a foundation of high-quality imaging technology, so it’s no surprise that throughout this series of wireless inkjet printers, users can expect to find high ink yields and paper capacities, easy operation, improved fast first print-out speeds of six seconds for black and white documents and seven seconds for color from a ready state and most importantly, low cost. This new series of wireless inkjet printers provides business owners with an essential and affordable tool that serves as a smart investment month to month, as the printers produce visually impactful documents for pennies a page.

MIB support further enables Canon to help reduce the operational burden on administrators in an environment where inkjet and laser printers are present.

A Dual Resistant High Density (DRHD) individual ink tank system are utilized within these updated models as well.

With the MAXIFY Printing Solutions application, users can directly access the cloud through MAXIFY Cloud Link from compatible mobile devices and tablets to print important documents from almost anywhere.
