Expert Verdict
There's room on the shelves for a compact, low-profile single-function photo desktop printer like the Canon Pixma iP7250 in a market full of large multifunction printers with scanners, faxes, document feeders, and sophisticated functions you'll probably never use. The Pixma iP7250 is ideal for consumers who seek high-quality prints from a no-frills, no-nonsense, modern printer.
The Canon Pixma iP7250 bears the appearance of a DVD player rather than an office printer. Canon has gone to great lengths to lower the printer's height, which has resulted in some clever design features such as the front panel's automated fold-out support. One tray holds up to 125 sheets of ordinary paper and the other holds up to 20 sheets of picture paper. The Canon Pixma iP7250 can store twice as much paper as inkjet printers twice its height. The Canon Pixma iP7250 ink cartridges are straightforward to install, thanks to the front of the machine's full-width cover. When your Canon Pixma iP7250 ink cartridges are installed correctly and when they need to be replaced, intelligent LED indicators show you.
Because the Pixma iP7250 lacks an LCD screen, all of the machine's setup and administration must be done over the network or from a USB-connected computer. Setting up the printer is made considerably easier with the WPS button or the Canon Easy-PhotoPrint App, so this simplicity in the printer's user interface never feels like a disadvantage. Simply click the WPS button on your router and do the same on the PIXMA iP7250 if you have a WPS-enabled wireless router. The printer is then connected to your network without the need for you to bother about SSIDs and WPA2 passwords. Canon apps work with Android and iOS smartphones and tablets. AirPrint from Apple is also supported.
The Canon Pixma iP7250 is a fast printer for its class. Black print speeds are rated at 15 pages per minute, and color print speeds are at 10 pages per minute on average. Canon's reputation for high-quality printouts is upheld with the Pixma iP7250. The print resolution is up to 9,600 x 2,400 dots per inch, which is much superior to most home inkjet printers and office machines. Printing text documents produces sharp, clean results. The five Canon Pixma iP7250 ink cartridges add to vibrant brights and deep darks in images that a printer with only two cartridges cannot achieve. The photos have a natural appearance and excellent color separation. Duplex printing nearly always slows down printers, but the Pixma iP7250 has a relatively quick automated duplex system, so you'll still get roughly 4 sides per minute. With the iP7250, printing photos is easy. A normal print will take roughly 51 seconds, which is significantly faster than the majority of competitors.
The Canon Pixma iP7250 needs five different Canon Pixma iP7250 ink cartridges, despite its compact size. In the program, there are two black cartridges: one that utilises dye and the other that involves pigmentation. The dye black is used for simple print media when you need the crispest, clearest text, while the pigment black is utilised for graphics and photographs when you need the deepest blacks. Aside from the apparent print quality benefits that a five-cartridge system provides, the Canon Pixma iP7250 ink cartridges save you from wasting away an ink cartridge that is still half full of a color you don't use very often. Canon Pixma iP7250 ink cartridges are offered in two sizes for black and all colors.
To summarise, the Canon PIXMA iP7250 is a small-format printer that produces excellent plain paper and photo prints. In its compact size, it even has automatic duplex printing, a 125-sheet paper tray, and a 30-sheet picture paper tray. If you need to print on coated CD/DVD media, it's a really good deal. The Pixma iP7250 is an excellent alternative if you don't need a machine that can also scan, copy, or fax and only want a high-quality printer that takes up very little space while printing up to A4 pages.
