Canon imageCLASS MF8180C
We have had the Canon imageCLASS MF8180C since it came out a while back. We have always had Canon products, they are easy to use and value for money.
The MF8180C was a cost-saving exercise that paid off quite well. Its a printer, copier, fax and scanner all in one and ideal for our little office. We dont use the scanner much, but the fax comes in handy once in a while. Its a Super G3 so whizzes through transmissions like a knife through butter. It send a whole sheet in a couple of seconds and will keep going as long as you want. It also has enough memory to hold 256 pages, but we never use that much. I think the most we have ever used is 47.
The printer is quick and can do color and black and white. The quality of the prints is really good, with the black bits being really black instead of dark gray like a lot of printers we have had. All the lines are straight, as are the corners of letters and text. Printing images and photos is something the MF8180C does well I think. They are really detailed, with good results every time. We used to have a separate Canon inkjet for printing photographs but now we just use this.
Copying is much the same as printing. Quick at 20 sheets per minute for black and white, the same as printing, and 4 pages a minute for color. The quality is the same as printing too, with clear text and photos and no ink elsewhere on the page. It makes the print stand out more, so it looks clear and crisp on the page.
It has a 250 page paper drawer, a 125 sheet multipurpose tray and a 50 page automatic document feeder. It has USB or network connections too, which makes connecting it to the network easy. There are only five of us but we all use the machine all the time. Its easier having it on the network rather than having to connect through someone elses machine.
The MF8180C is a good device that can do all the jobs of four separate ones. It is a little big, and heavy but works well and isnt too noisy. It doesnt need much looking after, it just works, and thats all we need really. The print quality is good enough for our needs and having a fax on board is really neat. For what we need it for, its ideal.
