Canon Color Printers

Printing is a common requirement for most small businesses and home offices. Owning a Canon color printer eliminates the need to use a professional printing company and lets you generate documents quickly, easily and without any wait. Most color printers print with four basic colors, cyan, magenta, yellow and black. These colors are mixed together and layered to produce additional hues for creating presentations, posters, color copies and other projects.

Choosing the Right Canon Color Printer for Home or Work
Canon has a selection of color printers to suit nearly any production need. All-in-one printers let you print, fax, copy and scan from one device, which saves space and money. Use one of these devices in a college dorm room to eliminate multiple trips to the library. Canon printers can also be used in classrooms to print activity sheets and unit tests for students or to generate transparencies for presenting information to classes.

Create full-color business cards, or fashion your own greeting cards for holidays, birthdays and other special events. If you're crafting announcements or flyers for a new business or even an upcoming trade show or concert, Canon color printers help get the information out.

Considering the Options of Canon Printers
Whether you need a device to print photos or make copies of documents for files, you can find a selection of Canon printers at Staples. Download the Canon print app to scan, copy and produce documents directly from your mobile device, and with AirPrint, you can connect and send items from most mobile Apple devices. Busy offices benefit from one of the Canon Maxify all-in-one inkjets that have high-capacity trays to reduce reload times on large jobs.

Single-pass double-sided printers save time by scanning and copying both sides of a page at once. Budget-minded companies reduce expenses with the auto-power off feature that automatically turns the device off after a period of inactivity. For larger offices, a wireless printer saves space by letting you connect several computers to the same device.

What Is the Difference Between a Regular Printer and a Photo Printer?
Photo printers like the Canon Pixma deliver a higher resolution than regular printers. They can copy all the way to the edge of a piece of photo paper, and they usually use six different colors, including light magenta and light cyan, instead of four. Regular printers like the Canon Maxify can generate photos but deliver a lower resolution and work best when printing and copying color documents.

What Are the Benefits of a Single-Cartridge Printer Over a Multiple-Ink-Cartridge Printer?
Multiple-cartridge printers save you money because you only have to replace the color you need. A single-cartridge printer requires you to change the whole package when one color runs out, which can waste the other unused inks.

What Are Some Benefits of Branded Ink Cartridges in Canon Printers?
Print quality tends to be noticeably better when using branded cartridges in Canon color printers. These cartridges are manufactured specifically for use with Canon printers, which also reduce the likelihood of maintenance costs. Using non-branded ink may void the warranty should any problems arise with the non-Canon ink.
