Canon i-Sensys MF628Cw
The standard 2017 printer
Perhaps your business is looking for the jack of all trades of printers, one that can do a bit of everything. You’re in luck, then, as Canon presents a product that contains all the features you need with none of those that you don’t. It’s not super fancy, but that’s because it shoots more for reliability and functionality than flash.
At 14 pages per minute the MF628Cw is not going to win any prizes for speed, but it does use Canon’s established laser technology, so spare parts (should you ever need them) and toner cartridges shouldn’t be all that hard to track down.
This Canon is rated for a duty cycle of up to 30 000 pages per month, which is a bit low when compared to the others in our round-up, but not every business needs to print huge volumes every month so there’s definitely space for it in someone’s office.
What Canon offers up is convenience for those times when you do need to print. This multifunction printer can scan, copy, fax and email documents, and while scanning you can choose to scan a document as a compact PDF or a searchable PDF; that’s a pretty handy feature if you need to digitise a large number of physical documents.
The MF628Cw supports printing from USB, Google Cloud Print and has apps for both iOS and Android.
This printer is a good fit for small businesses that deal with a lot of paperwork being submitted by clients such as a boutique law firm or marketing agency. Simply put, the Canon is great for offices interested in getting a printer that can do a bit of everything.
