The Canon IR-C7280i colour MFP is a high-end multifunction printer and copier for the busiest offices that need a solution to reduce their expenses and streamline their document production. The Canon ImageRUNNER ADVANCE C7280i office colour printer is built for in-house publishing, too, with a full range of expandability and finishing options, but can be quite expensive to purchase and upgrade.
Design
The understated but smooth, matte frame of the Canon IR-C7280i printer makes it suitable for any office environment. The base unit with the duplex colour image reader weighs approximately 282Kg and measures 1221mm tall, 932mm deep, and 989mm wide. The device runs on 2.5GB of memory with a 1.8GHz processor and a 320GB hard disk drive, which can be expanded to one-terabyte. The standard paper input includes two 550-sheet cassettes, two 1100-sheet cassettes, and a 100-sheet multipurpose feeder. There is an 8.4-inch TFT colour touchscreen, while connectivity is through high-speed USB 2.0, Ethernet, and two host USB ports.
Advantages
The Canon IR C7280i colour laser printer can produce output in speeds of up to 80ppm in black-and-white, and 70ppm in colour. The touchscreen panel simplifies on-board operation, and users can easily integrate EFI Fiery-based controllers to streamline document production. Professional finishing options can be installed, too. Automatic two-sided printing, a wide range of printer languages and fonts, and colour scanning are also supported by the Canon IRC7280i colour copier. The device is also praised for high-end security. Colour toners for the IR-C7280i copier can last for up to 52,000 pages which boosts productivity in offices that do colour printing on a large scale.
Disadvantages
Size could be a problem, especially when the base unit of the IR-ADV C7280i colour photocopier is expanded with additional hardware, document publishing, print controller accessories, and EFI-Fiery based controller options. The ImageRUNNER C-7280i laser printer can become wider and take up a lot of installation space. The high initial price and costs for upgrades can be expensive, too. Fax is only optional for the heavy-duty C7280i colour printer.
