Great product!

I received a free sample of this Canon printer to review and so far I have loved it. The speed of the printing is quick and the quality is great! I have printed a couple of photos and the quality is better than with past printers I have used. I really like that the paper capacity is 500 since opening a pack of paper and not being able to fit it all in the printer at once can be inconvenient at my home. I love all of the features it has available, and how it meets my needs. As a student I need the scanning, faxing and printing capabilities, as a parent with a child in school it is nice to be able to print directly from my laptop through the wifi connection, as a homemaker it is nice to be able to scan recipes to friends or print them off quickly.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best Printer I've personally used
on August 26, 2016
Posted by: JosephL
from L A, CA, United States
I really like this Printer for the most part, but there was some room for improvement for sure. I will say that I was mailed a free printer to test out and use, for this review, but assure you my review is legit and real.
There's several things it does great. My fave is the speed of printing, its the fastest printer I've ever used. There was putting together of parts and it took up some time and was a bit annoying, but it was pretty easy overall. It definitely met what i expected, and as i said earlier, was the most high quality printer I've personally used, due to the speed and accuracy of the printing and the wifi capability. One thing that i'd like improved is more ease of how to set up the printer to be the main printer in my air printing computer capability. There wasn't clear instructions on how to delete the old printer. So now I have 2 printers in there and always have to toggle to this new one. It's not ideal. I'd for sure recommend this to anyone that needs a fast and high quality printer. Overall, I'd say this printer deserves a high star rating and is ideal for home and business use too!

Great printer at a great price!

I love this printer!!! Even though I was sent a free sample to use for this review this printer is FABULOUS!!! The canon MAXIFY mb5420 is a sturdy yet lightweight all-in-one home office printer with the capability to print out pictures as well. It holds lots of paper (2 trays of 250 sheets each), it faxes, scans, copies and prints as well.
The automatic document feeder even scans both sides of the paper (if it is two-sided) at the same time which is AWESOME because it saves time, paper and money. As I work from home on a p/t basis a Notary Public this printer is a big plus for me!! Now I can notarize for the public and keep copies for my records as well. Plus being that this printer faxes I am now able to offer faxing (for a modest fee) as well. Assembly was quite simple, just a few things to slip into place and I was off and running! Printing is fast, and the output of my prints and/or copies is very clear and sharp. The best thing about this printer is that it is Wi-Fi capable...which I already have in my home anyway so all I had to do was set it up and by its being wireless I was able to eliminate the use of more wires, usb cables, etc. The Maxify exceeded my expectations because of the capacity of the amount of paper it holds and the fact that it can be hooked up very easily if you have WE-Fi access. But the best feature about this printer is that it can print from compatible Android devices. I use my mobile phone for everything (business as well as personal) so having the ability to print from my mobile phone is EXTREMELY an advantage to me. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend this printer to my family, friends and co-workers who do work from home because for the reasonable price paid for this printer you get lots of great features and services in a compact printer.

Great wireless printer!

I received a free sample in exchange for writing a review. This printer was fairly easy to set up. Having to expand the tray for the paper to fit was a little confusing. The ink cartridges were super easy to install. I've never had a photo printing printer, so I thought this was cool to be able to print on. I printed a vacation pic straight from my phone! Love the wireless component. This will also make it easy for my kids to print out things needed for college classes.

Solid Performer

from Atlanta, GA
I received a free sample of the new Canon Maxify MB5420 to test and write a review about. Overall, the new Canon MB5420 is a solid machine. It was very easy to get out of the box and set up. I had the machine hooked up on my WiFi network in less than 10 minutes. The wireless print features are great, and now I can print from my iPad and iPhone with a few simple clicks. The printer touchscreen works great and is easy to understand and use. The print quality is very good for an Ink Jet, and event printed photos from my iPhone with great quality. One thing I would like Canon to improve in the next software release, is the signal strength of the WiFi, and speed to takes to connect to the WiFi network when turning on.

Two paper sizes!!
on August 25, 2016
Posted by: Teri S
from Lees Summit, MO
I received a free sample of this printer to review in exchange for my honest review. The printer is substantial and I appreciate that it will scan and print in both the 8 1/2 x 11 size and 8 1/2 x 14 (legal) size paper. This would be especially beneficial for a real estate or law business. It was pretty easy to prepare for the initial set up and was packaged well with many pieces of security tape, etc.
The instructions to set up the Wi-Fi feature were comprehensive and easy to follow, as were the instructions to download the app on both an IOS and Android device (I had to set up both).
My overall impression is that it is a quality printer and I would recommend it for both home office or small business use.

Topnotch Duplex Printing and Speed
on September 2, 2016
Posted by: BrandyO
from Orlando, FL
This printer is incredibly easy to set up and use upon the first try! It prints incredibly fast and the paper feed pulls each page straight (without jamming). The latter being an issue on many machines I`ve used in the past. I should mention that I was offered a free sample to use in exchange for my unbiased review. My favorite feature of the Canon Maxify MB5420 is the duplex printing option. It was completely seamless and printed so professionally. Also, I have printed over a hundred pages with hardly any ink being used, so the yield is truly high. Additionally, the look of the printer is very sleek. It is compact, black, and modern. Overall, I am overjoyed with the quality, quickness, design, and functionality of this printer. I highly recommend.

Maximize your printing with the Maxify
on September 3, 2016
Posted by: Barron
from Hemet, CA, United States
I received a free sample of this printer to review. This is one of the better small office multifunction printers I have came across. I`ve worked for a small company for a number of years now. Our print volume doesnt justify buying one of those big, super expensive multifunction printers. But we still print a lot (couple thousand pages a month). Print quality is above average (we printed a couple hundred photo flyers), print speed is great, very easy to set up as long as you have a person in your office that at least knows how to install a printer. It also has just as many features as the super expensive ones. As far as improvements, I would like to see the cost of ink reduced. Its pretty much in line with the rest of the printers in its class...but still annoying. I would also like to see the ink be used more efficiently, which I understand is difficult. Both issues kinda factor in with the cost of doing business. I recommend it.
