Introduction

Canon inkjet printers are multifunctional machines that have printer, copier, scanner, and fax machine capabilities. Many, if not most, of Canon's printers use inkjet technology, versus other models that use laser technology. Because of this large selection consumers may have difficulty determining which printer can best meet user needs.

For example, users may not consider the number of pages per minute that an inkjet printer can produce. It's only after getting a printer home, connecting it to a computer and then starting a complex and prolonged printing job that users discover that the printer has a little PPM. The average PPM across all inkjet printers is in the high teens to the low 20s, so the higher, the better, including for printer inkjet Canon brand.
