The Canon PIXMA iX7000 is Canon's second business focused A3 inkjet printer, and it's one of the most expensive on the market.

The Canon PIXMA iX7000 is a behemoth. At 410mm high and 710mm deep with trays fully extended, this A3+ inkjet printer takes up a substantial amount of desk space.

Few printers capture the imagination in the PC Pro office like a large format inkjet. The possibilities - spectacular A3+ photos or big, bold business documents - are much greater than with a standard A4 printer.

Few printers capture the imagination in the PC Pro office like a large format inkjet. The possibilities - spectacular A3+ photos or big, bold business documents - are much greater than with a standard A4 printer. The iX7000 is for offices, claims Canon, and its chief office credential is its price.

This large-format inkjet is excellent for cost-sensitive small businesses and home offices. Top-notch results with plain paper, plus auto-duplex printing, make it one of the most versatile single-function inkjets you can buy.

Excellent-quality text on plain paper; Paper sizes up to 13x19 inches; Auto-duplex printing; Three paper paths

Inconsistent print speeds; Too large for most desks

The Bottom Line It's not just large (and it is); the Canon Pixma iX7000 is a large-format printer, meaning it can easily handle paper up to 13 x 19 inches. With its jutting cassette, it will require a table of its own.

Fast; Built-in wired networking; Built-in duplexing; Can handle large paper for posters; banners

No memory card capacity; No LCD or control panel
