This is a great printer and the ability to print 13"x19" posters is a huge plus and the colors are amazing. It is an older model printer, but it certainly has no problem printing what you want very quickly and at very good resolution. I'm hoping that, if this printer ever breaks down, that Canon has more on the shelf. Besides having excellent output, the price is great for a large format printer. I love it! and I love the Canon Support Staff. They know exactly what to do if there are any pr...

Connection issues not worth it.
Would Not RecommendThe printing quality is good if you can ever get it hooked up wirelessly. I was unable to do so and have to move the printer and hook it up via USB every time I want to print. Horrible connection issues the are so frustrating I don't think I will ever buy another canon printer ever!

Great printer
Would RecommendI love this printer! After five years of continuous heavy use, and only internal cleaning it was finally showing signs of age. I decided to clean the printhead myself, but I broke the holder reinstalling it (my bad). I am sure if I hadn't, it would be working great to the end of the decade and beyond. Luckily, I'd picked up a 2nd one three years ago in case my workload increased. I was a little nervous that sitting in the box that long might create some ink flow issues, but it worked flawle...

Good Replacement for Pro 100
Would RecommendThis a good replacement for the Pro 100. It still prints CDs. It does away with the photo cyan and magenta cartridges. It doesn't seem to waste as much color ink when printing in black and white mode.

The Ultimate Workhorse - Luv It!
Would RecommendI've owned and used this printer daily for 6 years! I'm a photographer and use it often for Client prints. NO PROBLEMS - ever! It's a tank and prints lawlessly - all sizes. Luv it. To rebut complaints: Use only Canon ink. Connecting to anything Apple (Mac) is often glitchy.

Expensive junk.
Constant issues with printer not recognizing ink cartridges, printer no longer works carriage pins fell off with occasional use of the printer. Wastes tons of ink as it saturates the paper. Worst printer ever, waste of money.

High Quality High Detail Photo Printer
Would RecommendWe printed a photo of the German Alps on an 8.5X11 and thoughts there were black spots in the clouds. It turns out they were birds in detail under a loupe! Incredible detail. Years ago I developed and printed color film. This printer in incredible for the price. We have printed many 13X19 prints of our recent Europe trip, and hung them on the walls. People are amazed at the quality of the photos.

Detailed High Quality Photo Printer
We printed an 8.5 x 11 of the German Alps, and I thought there were black spots in the clouds. It turns out under a loupe, they were detailed birds in flight! The photo detail in incredible. We have printed many 13x19 prints framed and hung on our walls of our recent Europe trip. People were amazed at the quality of the prints. I used to develop color negatives and prints years ago. This printer is incredible for the price.

Do not buy.
Would Not RecommendThis printer barely works and uses ink super fast. I can't remember the last time I have used it without an error light. Most of the time it simply does not work. Do not buy this printer.

Does not print 11 X 14
Description says Pixma iP8720 prints up to 13 X 19 in. Does not mention that the common size print 11 X 14 is NOT available.

Quality printer throughout!
Would RecommendWanted to replace my Epson 13"x19" printer after many years of great performance. Found the Canon iP8720, read the specs and reviews, and bought it about 3 months ago. Printer was easy to set up, easy to use. I've had zero issues with mine. Print quality has been fantastic! Great price point for a quality printer! Highly recommend!

A Year Old and Into the Trash.
Would Not RecommendHot mess. Originally connected the 8720 to an ancient iMac- hard enough to set up (wirelessly), but at least it printed. Upgraded to a Mac Studio M2 Max (Sonoma 14.4) a month ago and this printer will not connect. At all. Bought this printer a bit over a year ago and this thing's off to the trash. Expensive piece of e-junk. Unsatisfied with the prints I did manage to get from the iMac (NOT Canon's fault- so old, I couldn't update to the appropriate printer drivers). Read/watched reviews before p...

Worst buy ever. So sad. I used to love Canon. Lost time money ink.
Would Not RecommendWasting Day after Day in Tears. What a piece of ...yeah. No idea what model? TR? G SERIES? nothing is on it and not desktop software. You download it, then it says expired. Still 2 days later can't print a 4x6. All I do is google into rabbit holes of unhappy unsatisfied customers.

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY....BUY SOMETHING ELSE!!
Would Not RecommendThe reviews are correct about having a very difficult time connecting to WiFi. It took hours to connect and then twice in 2 months it lost connection so I had to reinstall.....I have the fastest residential and strongest signal. It is a CANON fault software/hardware issue!! There are NO ICC PROFILES for different paper. Some forums claim to have found some but I cannot find any for Canon paper. You are thinking why would I need this or what is it.......it's technical so search YouTube. BU...

Genuinely Astonished by it's Output
Would RecommendI've read a lot of bad reviews of this printer. The biggest complaint seems to be wifi printing. I must admit, I can't get that to work correctly. But, I don't care. The quality of the prints that come out of this machine is so good for the price point, I can look past the WiFi issues. I bought this machine a number of years ago and didn't print to it for over a year. I started it back up and amazingly, the prints that came out of it had no issues. I highly recommend purchasing the Canon-branded...
