The printer is rather bulky; and does take up a good amount of desktop real estate

An appealing low-cost alternative to an A3 colour laser printer for office use, but HP's Officejet 7000 is faster and better value.

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.

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

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