The Canon ImageRUNNER C2880 color laser printer is a multifunction large work group laser printer equipped to serve and is priced around $3,200.00.

This work horse has a 1 GHz processor and 1 GB, 1.5 GB max, of memory standard on all models in the series which provides ample room for large print jobs and complex documents. Networking is standard, as it is for models in this class and an 80 GB hard drive is also included for secure printing and storing Fax numbers. A 4,950 sheet capacity allows any office or work group to work through large required print jobs and more finishing options than its competitors like internal staplers, saddle stitch finishers and hole punchers help in professional styled document printing. The Canon ImageRUNNER C2880 has a super G3 fax board standard on the “i” models for fast faxing.  An end user can also send and receive documents at 44 impressions a minute which is common with similarly priced printers.

Color documents are produced in great clarity, better than some of its competitors, while text documents are crisp down to 4 point font sizes although some feathering occurs with highly stylized fonts. The Canon C2880 prints and copies at 27 pages per minute in black and white and 22 pages per minute in full color; the higher the resolution the slower the device prints. Canon’s imageCHIP system provides constant calibrations to color and monochrome documents to ensure consistent prints increasing the quality of images in color or black and white. Cost per printed page is low for black and white prints at about 1 cent per copy/print and color prints at 40% coverage average $.16 per print. Adding to these features the Canon C2880 comes equipped with software interfaces for Windows and Mac platforms to alert users to issues with print jobs or to send documents from the printer hard drive to any user on the network.

The Canon ImageRUNNER C2880 is a large work group printer with great color production and huge memory but falls a little short for text printing while it excels at faxing and copying.
