Wi-Fi capability on the E470 makes home installation easy, and connectivity to your mobile devices and notebooks a cinch, even without a wireless router. It even supports Google Cloud Print, so you can print via the internet.

With the Canon PRINT Inkjet/SELPHY app, you can also wirelessly print and scan documents and photos via your Android mobile devices.

Best photo prints for Home and SOHO

In this day and age, everyone is armed with a smartphone. And people are snapping photos. Instead of leaving those memories in the virtual world, PIXMA photo printers help deliver memories you can touch and feel.

The new PIXMA All-in-One Photo Printer TS8070 and TS5070 are stylish and compact, and deliver impressive high quality prints.

The flagship TS8070 rocks a 6-colour hybrid ink system and also comes with a 4.3-inch colour touchscreen LCD. It has a full automated operation panel and self-extending paper output tray. It supports auto two-sided printing, and printing from memory cards.

Meanwhile, the TS5070 comes with a 3-inch colour LCD Panel, Document Removal Reminder function as well as support for 5”x5” paper media sizes.

Both printers have Wi-Fi capabilities built-in as well as NFC for easy connectivity to Android devices.

SOHO workshorse

If you’re looking for high volume printing, with the ability to copy and fax at affordable pricing, then the new PIXMA Ink Efficient G4000 Refillable Ink Tank printer may be perfect.

It supports up to 6,000 pages of black and white documents, and 7,000 pages in colour before requiring a replacement.

Space-conscious users will appreciate G4000’s space saving design (ink tanks are inside the body).

With Wi-Fi out-of-the-box, it allows for easy connectivity with mobile devices – whether for printing or scanning. It can be paired to iOS and Android devices to print from local sources, cloud storage or even social media platforms.

Additionally, it has a 20-sheet Automatic Document Feeder (ADF), Document Removal Reminder function and a new ID Card Copy feature.

Office printers, sorted

In an office environment, speed and optimal functioning are important aspects in picking a suitable printer. The multi-functional MAXIFY Business Inkjet Printers MB5470 and MB5170 as well as single-function iB4170 can generate up to 24 images per minute for monochrome prints and 15.5 pages per minute for colour. The printers can be set to maximum speed when peak printing speeds are warranted – up to 32.5 ppm for black-and-white and 26.5pp in colour.

Quick First Print technology delivers speedy and consistent printouts, and large 500-sheet capacity casettes (MB5470 and iB4170); and 250-sheet cassette (MB5170) ensures printing efficiency.

The printer trio supports the unique ID Card Copy function and Canon PosterArtist Lite software for editing purposes.

There’s a host of management and document security features that cover copying, scanning to USB flash drives and email, changing LAN settings and support for IP Address Filtering. Support for Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) for multi-device management and monitoring via fleet management apps like Canon’s imageWARE Enterprise Management Console (iWEMC) and PrintFleet comes built-in.
