all have pretty horrible coated paper printing quality and just meh on normal uncoated paper. The big Officejet Pro (we have the 80s), Epson Workforce / Ecotank etc. What is not to like about it? IT's OEM ink for refurb price.

And new printers include 3 to 9 months of free Instant Ink. 300 pages per month plan brings the cost per page down to 4 cent, 3600 pages for 144/year, only a little bit more than 1 set of XL carts per year.Īnd it works on stupid cheap printers too like a Deskjet 2723, €59, bringing those down from 15 cent per page (lol 4ml volume in the 305"XL") to 4 to 6 cents. You don't have to worry about keeping the printer on and it running its daily cleaning cycle. Instant ink doesn't care if you put quality on max for every print. That is 6 or 5 cent per page, the same price as a set of 963XL carts (€121) divided by 2000 pages (6 cents per page). The 50/100 pages plan are 3 or 5 euros per month. New plan goes in effect instantly, pro-rated, no waiting for next billing period / quarter / year nonsense. You can upgrade and downgrade at any moment. The Canon imageCLASS MF741Cdw and the MF642Cdw variants have an automatic feeder but don't support duplex scanning, while the Canon MF641Cw variant lacks an automatic feeder altogether.I don't get the bitching at Instant Ink lately, it is the absolute cheapest way to print for a home / light office user. The Canon imageCLASS MF746Cdw, MF745Cdw, and MF644Cdw have the same scanner features. If you've also been unable to scan wirelessly with the native software, let us know in the discussions.

We could only get the Scanner MF Utility App to work via a wired USB connection. If you want a similar printer with faster scan speed, check out the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M283fdw. Lastly, while the scan resolution isn't as high as other printers on the market, it's high enough for office use or casual photo scanning.

It scans the first few sheets very quickly but tends to slow down and wait between each subsequent page in a stack. Unfortunately, the scan speed is quite slow when using the automatic feeder, much slower than the advertised 28 pages per minute (when scanning single-sided black and white documents). You can scan documents into searchable PDFs, but only through the Scanner MF Utility application, as the feature isn't built into the printer. The lid's hinges extend so you can close the lid over thicker items like textbooks and magazines. The Canon MF743Cdw has a feature-rich scanner.
