Choosing a printer comes down to your own personal checklist. Key considerations may include whether you need colour, how much you need to print, what you need to print and must-have features (e.g., finishing, security, etc.). Canon’s Product Configurator can help you determine the printer that best meets your needs. Answer a few short questions about what you need the printer to do, and the configurator will recommend a product.
