After reading the reviews on Yandex, I bought at my own peril and risk. Many people write about noise and long preparation times for printing. These users apparently did not print on other printers. Previously I used Epson L200. If you compare these models, they are heaven and earth. The setup is very fast, I’m pleased with the ability to print via wi-fi. My rating is 5.
Advantages
High-quality and fast printing. Printing via Wi-Fi Printing on discs Convenient paper tray
Flaws

I replaced the cartridges with resettable ones, this is the happiness of saving
Advantages
Simple and high quality, but does not print quickly Multiple trays
Flaws
Slow When printing on a disk, if you don’t make a circular print area yourself, it will print the entire image directly on the tray. He's constantly buzzing and checking something.

In general, I don’t advise anyone to buy this miracle of engineering so as not to be disappointed. You need to think carefully about whether to buy this scrap metal in a plastic box. This Canon creation lasted exactly a month of not intensive work, printing 30 photos and apparently got very tired from such a load that was placed on it and died in agony. Shame on the company for such quality. Personally, I will no longer buy printers from this company. I will have to look for a replacement from other companies. Although now there is some kind of The general trend decline in quality. And how to teach a manufacturer to make quality things is to share reviews and not take any rubbish. Happy shopping everyone.
Advantages
There are no advantages. The printer is terrible a priori. I do not advise you to buy it under any circumstances. The persistent desire to throw it out the window will not leave you the entire time you use this terrible device. It seems that Canon has not made such devices before and this is the first printer it created, somewhere in underground enterprises in a Chinese village, hand-assembled by Liao’s grandfather and his grandchildren.
Flaws
Polished edges that collect dust. Very fragile. Afraid of the slightest shaking. Errors begin immediately and refuses to print. The print quality, when compared with previous models in this line, has simply deteriorated significantly, both in color reproduction and detail. Noticeable noise and grain have appeared. Even longer He began to think about the task at hand, and all this time he rustled, crackled and made some sounds, as if he was trying to communicate with intelligent beings in another dimension.

There were 4 printers from Canon and that's what's interesting. How older model, the more unpretentious it is and the longer it works. The last one bought 7240 and it lived for about six months. I just decided to print the photos on A4, printed the first one perfectly, but rejected the next one with error B200. How so? So just take it and stop working? Okay, on the ip4820 model I continuously printed 20 photos on A4 and the head burned out, but what happened? It looks like the developers are setting some kind of limit on their new printers. It's just 3.14 awesome! Totally insolent! Update from January 20, 2017 - another printer died: D still the same B200 and I have no doubt that the printer has some kind of limit that breaks it.

It prints better photos if you install the XPS driver!

He will ruin you on cartridges. All these printers are a stupid scam for money. Manufacturers make profits not from the sale of printers, but from the subsequent sale of branded cartridges. Moreover, you won’t be able to install left-handed or refillable cartridges, don’t even dream about it. Everything is chipped, with the wrong cartridges, the printer will be slow and glitchy.

I used alternative Burstein slam-shut caps with OCP inks. Quite quickly problems began with mixing colors. Magenta was mixed with cyan and after being idle for 1 day, it had to be cleaned at least twice before the first print. Replacing the cartridges did not help, and then the nozzles in the head partially failed. It is possible that if I had used original consumables, all this would not have happened, but the costs for them would have been many times higher than all my manipulations with alternative components.

The printer is super, no words...

About the service: I never expected that there would be no additional shipping costs. It turned out to be very convenient service Pick Point. And in general, the whole chain - from order to execution - is amazing.

In general, the model as a whole is not bad for the money. I struggled a bit with the Wi-Fi setup, which is why I bought the printer. And even at one point I regretted the purchase, realizing that I wouldn’t be able to set it up. But one day he simply began to work through the air without additional intervention. So everything is fine now. The printer is very noisy and slow-witted. I read other reviews and laughed about the slowness :) It’s all true. Printing “quickly” will not work. It will take a long time to turn on, set up before printing, etc. It will definitely wake someone up at night, so it’s better to use it during the day. But if you’re not in a hurry, it’s quite satisfactory. The best option, I found - turn on the printer in advance, then it will be faster to think. In order not to go broke on cartridges, I advise you to purchase an additional set of refillable cartridges and keep them ready. Then suddenly running out of ink will not be an unpleasant surprise. Original cartridges are also easily refilled without any additional equipment. I always have one set in reserve. You need to experiment with ink and photo paper and find the right ratio so that the pictures do not fade over time.

This is certainly not laser printer, but how slow it works.... After turning it on, it starts to set up, it takes about 5 minutes. Then, when you have chosen what you want to print, it will think for another 3 minutes before starting to print. The printing process itself is fast, but these intervals between the start of printing and the completion of the work... you will print 1 sheet for a total of 10 minutes, because while it turns on, then it will think, then it will think again, then it will print, then turn off 3 minutes... I still don’t understand the principle of its operation: if you need to print several sheets, it can print them instantly, or after printing 1 sheet, think for a couple of minutes, print 2 sheets, think again... although nothing complicated or colorful I'm not typing. By the way, after printing 2 color A4 sheets, the amount of ALL ink dropped by almost 40%. Although I printed a blue-red-black design. And then, not a drawing, but a drawing. Not for frequent use. Otherwise you will finish it off yourself))) Very expensive cartridges. The full set will cost the same as the printer itself. And if you often print color images, then get ready to change cartridges once a season

Review from Yandex.Market
Advantages- Excellent printing on Discs, very good quality printing on photo paper! That's why he took the laser from me for the text.
WiFi is really very convenient, I can print from different computers wirelessly.
Really low, very convenient to squeeze between shelves
- For me, well, there may be a small hassle when installing the CISS. It takes a long time to prepare for printing, but it’s not critical!
I'm very happy with the purchase! The original cartridges were immediately used up (I printed 20 discs), the first one ran out of pink, but by this time the CISS had been delivered, so I threw out the original mulipusic containers. I installed a supply system (here the manufacturer tried so that the client would not use chemicals), but everything turned out well, and with the lid closed, the tubes simply come in from the side.
The OSP ink was excellent! BUT let me mention that in black tones there is a slight shift to gray. I ordered profiling ink + paper. After installing the profile, the print quality is simply excellent!!!
I printed a huge number of photographs and I am very pleased with the discs.
Moreover, I can print a lot and then it can just sit there for a couple of weeks, after which it prints without streaks or jambs.
Conclusion: the quality is excellent! If you want good print quality, then only through Photoshop, otherwise for color profile the printer is taken and the colors go away. PZK cartridges or install CISS (my choice is filled up and I don’t worry. The cheapest way to order it is on Ali Express) the ink cost me 2500 rubles, 5 colors and there is no end... and new cartridges would cost 4 rubles, approximately... here it is benefit!
At this point I have printed about 400 discs. and more than 1000 photos
I liked it, I took Two! I recommend.

- - Excellent printing for 3 kopecks (the printer itself + refilling).
- At correct setting The print profile produces gorgeous photos (the grain is almost invisible). See below for how to set it up.
- Low body
- Excellent Wi-Fi (put it wherever you want and print from absolutely any device, no wires)
- - Small volume of cartridges (frequently taking out starter cartridges for refilling using the “syringe” method will bore anyone).
- There are no refillable cartridges on sale yet (although they promise) Otherwise, with opaque cartridges it’s kind of scary to wait until the print head burns out :(
- There is no CISS either, and you can’t install it without drilling out the body.
- Method Wi-Fi settings by default from the instructions wretched pornography. To find a utility for setting up a connection “manually” you need to spend half a day (Unadvanced people won’t figure it out!).
- The default print profile settings suck, it looks like a drunk was typing the photos with his ass. (Unadvanced people will not understand!)
1) Setting up a print profile:
In the printer properties tab Main tab Media type Photo Paper Pro Platinum, then below Print quality “Other” set pull to the right to “1”. Ok Ok Ok. The rest can be left untouched.
2) Wi-Fi, for those who do not have WPS in the router, is configured using the Canon IJ Network Tool utility. There is no description in the paper instructions that come with the kit, see the electronic manual.

- Good quality printing even on inktek ink
Fast and moderately quiet printing
- 1. PAPER FEED! Just a “masterpiece” no top tray.... Why?.....
2. Reliability of the feed rollers a separate story stops taking paper normally from the tray VERY quickly on the 4th “set” of cartridges there are constant “slips”!!! On any paper, including Canon paper I tried the experiment for...
3. The capacity of the cartridges and their inadequate cost.
4. Impossibility in principle CISS installations because of the design, which was clearly worked out for money by Russian CISS installers. They succeeded!
I have always respected Canon products! Before this, we faithfully worked hard to wear out the ip2600, 3600, 4600. Only favorable memories remain from them! Sorry, Canon engineers, but maybe you should start making a printer out of toilet paper? Why did the product quality suddenly become so low? This printer did not work normally for even two months! Another ip2700 “sailed away” after four months of work, having used up the CISS refill and only then gave up the ghost! At this rate, it will be necessary to honestly put the “disposable” label on printers!
Eh, Canon-Canon.... It's a pity that you are like Yepson, which I abandoned after replacing the design principle of their great R-300 and R-200 with the current disposable "pop" P-50 and L-800....

It seems Pixma iP7240 After all, they made a replacement; preliminary information about Model TS704 is available in our reviewAfterword from 2016:
Model Pixma iP7240 turned out to be an impressive long-liver. Taking into account the rapid change of generations of printer and MFP models from Canon, this is very unusual. But, nevertheless, the model turned out to be quite tolerable, and at the beginning of 2016 there are still sufficient offers in stores. The price range ranges from 5,000 to 6,000 rubles.The main drawback of the model, as predicted, lies in the area of gripping paper and microscopic cartridges. These shortcomings apply to all modern “home” models of printers and MFPs from Canon. A set of regular non-starter cartridges costs the same as a new device. Starter cartridges, of course, you can refill them, but their 4-5 ml capacity is depressing. There are also spare parts on the market for these models, but the kit is even more expensive than the printer. Although for many, style and beautiful plastic are really closer to their hearts than the “box-like” design of Epson’s print factories.
Further, we were reproached that the pixma ip7240 review with the photographs provided was a fake. We can only regret that people have not seen truly high-quality photo printing on inkjet printers. This is a completely normal result for modern devices print. Of course, we can find those photographs in which this model"screwed up" completely. An unsightly large raster will crawl out, the colors will fade into the dirt, and so on and so forth. But this is an amateur model; usually bright standard photographs are printed on such printers. It is from this point of view that the photographs for the tests were chosen.
Now the main question is: is this model worth buying? Our opinion is that it is worth waiting until the announcement of ruble prices for printing factories from Canon. It is quite possible that this printer with a spare brake kit it will cost the same as new solutions from Canon. Well, or, as an option, on the eve of the release of new models, warehouses may be cleared, there is a chance to buy Pixma iP7240 at pre-crisis prices.
ip7240 review from 2012:
PIXMA iP7240 printer review:
Only a lazy person does not “surf” on the wave of success of “Apple” products. So printer manufacturers have not left aside the most popular trend of the year.The familiar printer models were urgently rebranded, and devices were released that support direct printing from modern smartphones, tablets, etc.
At first, MFPs acquired this function, and after some time, inexpensive printer models.
Oddly enough, the last place in this race was taken by Canon with its model PIXMA iP7240. In addition, we had to wait more than two months for the printer announced on the website to appear on sale.
But, while re-reading the printer specification, we came across a number of interesting points that made us want to take this model for testing.
So, although the manufacturer does not hide the fact that this is a replacement model PIXMA 4840/4940, the description reveals a couple of interesting points.
First: the manufacturer writes “low-profile design,” and, judging by the specifications, this is indeed the case (it was 431x297x153 mm, now it is 451x368x128 mm). And if you look even more closely, it will become clear: the printer was simply “flattened”, and the decrease in height caused an increase in other overall dimensions. This means that, most likely, to a greater or lesser extent it could not have happened without changing the kinematic scheme.
Second: support for XL cartridges is announced. What is XL? Are these the old regular volumes with new letters? Or have the cartridges really become larger and heavier? And how did this affect the service life of the mechanics? And won’t printing with original consumables actually become more affordable?
All these questions forced us to test the new product from Canon.
First impressions:
So, the printer comes in a box that looks more like packaging for a laptop than a printer. 
Let's unpack... The first thing that catches your eye: yes, the printer, of course, has become low-profile, but visually it spreads out too much to the sides. Even the Epson L800 “tractor” looks more compact.
Cartridges... Well, it’s better we show everything close-up. True, of course, there is also an XL version, but it’s also not particularly pleasing with its volume.
In addition, the paper feeding system has been completely redesigned. Now there are two feed cassettes. One is for thick photo paper 10x15 or 13x18, the second is for regular, less dense types.
Alas, there is no ordinary “feeder”. Therefore, for example, it is impossible to print a 20x30 cm photograph or a 20*60 cm banner on this photo printer. Only standard sheets of photo paper in A4 format. For those who are not aware, 20*30 and A4 are different paper sizes.
Although, of course, the device will fit perfectly into the interior of low shelves and will be an excellent complement to stylish “Apple” products. By the way, the CD/DVD printing tray is hidden under the photo paper cassette. You won't find it right away :)
On the back of the printer there is a duplex mechanism. If a paper jam occurs, you will have to “pick out” the device from low shelves and fix the problem.
Next, the print head is already installed in the printer. And, most likely, it is tested at the factory. This is indirectly evidenced by traces of ink on the cap. Of course, tests are good, but the sealed storage packaging, like in previous printers, was much better.
The print head is removable, the fastening mechanism has been changed: to reduce the height, now the lever must not be tilted up, but pulled towards you.
Visual differences seem to be fine.
What's in the bottom line:
- The printer became low-profile, but spread out quite a lot to the sides.
- To accommodate the fashion for thin products, the printer was deprived of a standard paper feed mechanism, which will be very critical for many.
- The game of words and consoles like XL remains a game, there are no fundamental improvements.
So, let's move on to testing print quality.
First of all, text printing: a separate pigment cartridge is provided for this. In addition to it, the printer is equipped with a duplex mechanism, i.e. automatic printing bilateral documents. And using a special black pigment cartridge, printing is carried out both in single-sided and double-sided mode.The printer prints quite quickly, but if you set it to print on both sides, the sheet will dry for several seconds on the back side before printing each page.
This reduces all the speed performance of the Canon Pixma iP7240 printer to nothing, although the function itself is very convenient, however, if you have enough time to print documents.
Now about the sad thing: currently, when using office papers, the quality of text printing on inkjet printers does not reach “laser” clarity and smoothness.
The letters come out slightly loose.
The text, although made in pigment black, has poor mechanical resistance to wet hands. If you run a wet finger over the text, you get a clear “smudge.”
Unfortunately, this is a feature of all thermal inkjet printers. If you need increased abrasion resistance with wet hands when inkjet printing, it is better to pay attention to Epson products.
Overall for home use print quality text documents should be considered satisfactory. And the presence of automatic duplex makes the process also convenient.
Now about the quality of photo printing.
Although any significant changes in the performance characteristics of the printer Canon Pixma iP7240 compared to earlier models, there are no improvements, however, there are improvements, and they are of a consumer nature. This model is equipped with two paper cassettes.Now you can put photo paper of 10 x 15 cm or 13 x 18 cm in one of them, and A4 in the other and, without constantly running to the printer, send photographs of two types for printing.
We will conduct research on the quality of photo printing on the two most affordable and high-quality photo papers.
First up is Epson Premium Glossy Photo Paper.
The paper is quite widely distributed on sale and is found in economical PRO packs. Available in three sizes suitable for this printer: 10x15 cm, 13x18 cm and A4.
The paper is very batch stable and has good color gamut performance.
Secondly, this is Lomond Semi Glossy Bright 1103301, 260 g/m2.
The paper stands out from its classmates with good layer parameters for its price group. And also widespread availability throughout the country.
Unfortunately, paper is presented only with a semi-glossy type of coating, which most closely replicates the “matte” type in mini-labs
This photo paper is available in A4 sheets and 10 x 15 cm format. Also, the 10 x 15 cm format is found in economical PRO packs.
For these types of photo paper, the printer was profiled using original ink cartridges.
Printer driver settings for profiling are shown in the screenshots.
You can download profiles for these two types of paper
Below are comparative graphs of color gamuts of photo papers on the printer Canon Pixma iP7240 using original cartridges.
The graphs are shown for L = 80, L = 50, L = 30, L = 15. Epson photo paper – green graph. Lomond photo paper – white graphic.
Both types of paper performed very well. And can be recommended for use as an alternative to the original Canon Pro Platinum.
Epson Premium Glossy Photo Paper produces truer whites and possibly better long-term print durability.
Lomond Semi Glossy Bright photo paper is quite affordable and is in no way inferior to Epson Premium Glossy in terms of color gamut.
In general, prints on both types of photo paper are distinguished by rich colors and good b/w wedge in daylight.
I would also like to dwell on the “trick” of this printer – direct printing from smartphones. With this printing mode, profiles cannot be used, but nevertheless, the photo papers chosen for the test coped with the task perfectly.
Only the black and white wedge caused criticism, although it was quite good for amateur use.
About the gas station
Of course, in the civilized world it is quite difficult to imagine the owner of a top-end tablet from Apple pouring ink into cartridges. But Russia is a country of paradoxes, and here an iPad in the maximum configuration and ink for refilling cartridges can easily coexist on the same table.In any case, in Russia an inkjet printer is primarily associated with the word “ink”, and not “cartridges”.
For printer Canon Pixma iP7240 DCTec recommends using the standard set for these series.
Below are the results of testing these inks in the printer iP7240: they were poured into starter cartridges using the “classical” method. Before refilling, the cartridge absorber was washed of original ink to ensure the correctness of the measurement results. And the print head was flushed with DCTec washing to eliminate the influence of the original ink on the result.
Starter cartridges are quite “gentle”; when removing or drilling the ball, you should not use excessive force.
Below are comparison graphs of coverage using original and DCTec inks on Epson Premium Glossy Photo Paper and Lomond Semi Glossy Bright.
Results for Lomond Semi Glossy Bright photo paper. Graphs are shown for L = 80, L = 50, L = 30, L = 15. White graph - DCTec ink. The red graph is the original ink.
Printing device entry level with a basic set of functions and minimal cost - this is the Pixma iP7240 from companyCanon.This particular printer model will be discussed in detail and step by step in the review material presented to your attention.
What segment of the printer market is the hero of this review targeting?
Very low cost, very modest specifications and minimum set communication interfaces already initially attributed Canon printer Pixma iP7240 for entry-level, budget-level solutions. But this legendary manufacturer of printing and duplicating equipment, even in this case, managed to create a masterpiece and realize many useful functions in this budget class printer. Some of them allow the hero this review without any problems, outperform most of its direct competitors in terms of technical specifications.
Equipment
Simply excellent equipment in the Pixma iP7240, which allows the new owner of such a device to start using it immediately after purchase. It includes the following:
A printer.
USB interface cable.
The power cord that connects this economy class printer to the network AC voltage, due to this, the power supply of such a printing system is organized.
Detailed installation, connection and operation instructions.
Set of inkwells.
A special tray that allows you to print on CDs.
Disk with necessary software and electronic version documentation for this printing device.
Technology
Inkjet is the basis of the hero of this review. Liquid ink is used. IN in this case their number is 4. For the most popular black and white mode, only black ink based on pigment technology is used. In the case of printing in color, the process of obtaining a print additionally includes ink of three more colors: blue, yellow and magenta. Combining the four previously mentioned colors allows you to obtain color images, pictures and photographs.
Name of cartridges
Cartridge models PGI-450PG, PGI-450PGXL, CLI-451, CLI-451XL designed for installation in the “black” slot of the Pixma iP7240. The “blue” slot of this printing device can accommodate the CLI-451C or CLI-451CXL, the “yellow” slot - the CLI-451Y or CLI-451YXL, and the “magenta” slot - the CLI-451M or CLI-451MXL. The original configuration of the printer includes cartridges without the XL prefix with a reduced print resource and reduced capacity. In the future, it is recommended to equip such a printer with more capacious cartridges and a longer print resource. As you might guess, their markings include the prefix XL.
Interface kit
The Pixma iP7240 printer boasts an ideal set of interfaces. First of all, it includes a standard USB wired connection to a PC. Its main drawback is the need to be very close to system unit. In this case, the distance cannot exceed 2 m. Another limitation with this connection method is that such a computer must be turned on to print. Essentially, in this case, such a PC performs the functions of a print server.
But there is also the possibility of implementing the functions of the latter using only one printer. All you need to do is use a wireless Wi-Fi interface. Also, another important advantage of this connection method is that there is no need to place the printing device in relative proximity to the computer. Therefore, in practice it is recommended to use last method connections using a wireless network.
Permission
The undeniable advantages of the Canon Pixma iP7240 include the resolution of printed documents. In color mode it maximum value set at 9600 x 2400. According to this indicator, the hero of this review can confidently be classified as a photo printer. Another factor that also puts it in this class is minimum size drops. Its size in this case is 1 pl.
Separately, it should be noted that printing monochrome documents and images in such high resolution not justified. Moreover, both from a technical and economic point of view. On the one hand, such a resolution contributes to more intensive wear of the printing system, and on the other hand, there is an increased consumption of ink. Therefore, in black and white mode, it is recommended to reduce the resolution of printed documents to 1200 x 1200. Their quality will not deteriorate significantly, but this will certainly extend the life of the printer and reduce ink consumption.
Page sizes
The Canon Pixma iP7240 printer is aimed at printing primarily on A4 sheets of paper. It can also print on A5, legal, B5 and letter. In addition, you can print on Commercial 10 or DL format envelopes. In all these cases, the paper weight should be between 60 and 105 gsm and the bottom tray should be used to load the paper. If you plan to print photographs, the dimensions of which in this case begin with 10 x 15 and end with 20 x 25, then you need to use paper with a density of about 300 g/m2 and the upper tray for loading.
Fingerprint speed
The Canon Pixma iP7240 is capable of outputting up to 15 monochrome prints and up to 10 color prints in one minute. For a budget-class printing device, these are excellent speed indicators. It has more modest speed characteristics when outputting photographs. For example, it will print one print with dimensions of 10 x 15 in 65-70 seconds.
