Leave a comment

Toronto, Ontario, Canada, 2019-Dec-10 — /EPR COMPUTER NEWS/ — Introduced in January 2014, the Canon Pixma iP8720 is a 13-inch wide, dye-based inkjet printer that succeeded the Canon Pixma iX6520. This 5-color photo printer is designed for the reproduction of bold color on any high-quality inkjet paper. It is, therefore, a photo printer that every graphic designer and businessperson should consider.

Inside the Package

This canon model comes well-packed in a box with all the accessories packaged in separate bags. The items included in the shipping bag are the following:

• iP8720 Wireless Inkjet Photo Printer
• Setup ink tanks
• Power cord
• Disc tray
• Setup CD-ROM
• Manual and other documents

Inks

This unit uses Chromalife 100+ dye-based, Canon CLI-251 ink as well as a pigment black ink cartridge that’s designed for document and text printing.

Print Head

The printhead assembly of the iP8720 comes packaged in a separate bag. It comes with a large plastic cover which you must first remove in order to install the head followed by ink to its carriage.

Printing

After you have installed the heads and the ink, the printer is now good to go. It takes less than 5 minutes to start printing. For proper operation, be sure to leave at least 4 inches of space from the back. The assembled printer weighs 18.6 pounds and measures 23.3” (W) * 13.1” (D) * 6.3” (H). The front paper tray measures 12” when fully extended.

Front Control Panel

The front control panel has 3 buttons:

• A Power button with light
• Cancel/Resume buttons with a warning light
• Wireless connectivity button that has an indicator light

Connectivity

The Pixma iP8720 connects to a computer through Hi-Speed USB, wireless LAN, or PictBridge.

Media Paths

This unit features a single media path as well as a CD/DVD printing tray. The CD holder is included in the printer and is placed in the front slot. You will also need specialty DVD or CD media coated for inkjet coating. The My Image Garden Software by Canon is offered to set up and print the discs.

Print Speeds

This unit provides the appearance of a continuous tone, meaning that the ink dots are not visible after printing. This is mostly the case when printing on luster, glossy, and satin media. The block of colors is seamless and you can only see a few dots in mid-tone areas.

Brother International Corporation Introduces INKvestment Tank Printer That Eliminates Cartridge Replacement

Leave a comment

Irwindale, California, USA, 2019-Dec-09 — /EPR COMPUTERS NEWS/ — The Brother International Corporation has successfully introduced the first INKvestment Tank printers to the market. This revolutionary tank technology can provide up to 365 days of ink which is efficient for 150 worry-free pages for every month.

The MFC-J995DW printer comes with a built-in ink storage tank. Hence, the mechanism has shifted from cartridge to inside the machine, resulting in maximum page yields. Also, with the storage tank designed inside the printer, the ink in the cartridge significantly increases and delivers up to 1 or 2 years of printing.

According to the company’s senior director of B2C product marketing, Phil Lubell, the Brother INKvestment Tank was engineered to resolve printing challenges like the ink diminishing and the need to replace the ink too soon. He went on to say that their research has shown that most people don’t like the hassle of replacing ink and they would rather throw the printers away.

With that in mind, Phil says that the INKvestment Tank MFC-J995DW delivers a great impact to businesses and office users since it gives a year’s worth of ink without the need to change cartridges. Hence, they can focus on other vital matters without worrying about their printing needs.

The Intelligent Page Gauge of this printer will also take away the worry of your ink diminishing at the wrong time. This smart technology keeps an eye on how the ink is used. It then displays an estimate of how many pages are remaining on a 2.7-inch color touch-screen.

Replacing the ink is also very easy thanks to the INKvestment Tank high yield cartridges. Eric Dahl, who is the director of B2C product marketing, noted that people hate changing ink cartridges, especially without any warning. That is why the new lineup maintains the benefits of a cartridge and they are designed with cleanliness, simplicity, and familiarity.

Brother inkjet cartridges are not only clean and quick, but they’re also very cost-efficient. They allow you to print for less than $0.05 per page in color and less than $0.01 per page in black and white.

With all these great specs, Brother’s INKvestment Tank technology offers great capabilities to ensure a seamless workflow. It also delivers numerous output options that enable you to deal with a plethora of projects including printing wirelessly that doesn’t require any setup.

You can scan and print wirelessly from your laptop, desktop, tablet, and smartphone. Sharing documents is possible using Brother iPrint and scan or using ‘print from and scan to’ cloud apps like Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox and more.
