Speed for photos is a little better relative to inkjets in general. The far less expensive Brother MFC-J285DW ($599.99 at Amazon) (Opens in a new window), for example, came in at 4.9ppm on the same tests. That makes it a touch faster than the Canon MX922, at 2.4ppm, and slower than the Canon MG6620, at 2.9ppm.Īll three Canon printers offer a tolerable speed for light-duty printing, but they're also slower than much of the competition.

I clocked the MG7520 on our business applications suite (using QualityLogic's (Opens in a new window) hardware and software for timing), at a sluggish 2.5 pages per minute (ppm).

It's also at least partly responsible for the printer's high level of photo quality.įor my tests, I connected the printer using its Ethernet port and installed the drivers and other software on a system running Windows Vista. The six-color ink system, and the gray ink in particular, makes it easier for a printer to handle photos well.

Setting up the MG7520 on a network is mostly standard, with the minor difference from most printers being that you have to install six ink cartridges, with cyan, yellow, magenta, photo black, pigment black, and gray ink. At this writing, Canon has managed to replicate the problem on one network, but not on another, and is still looking into the issue. The MG7520 also supports printing through the cloud, although in my tests, it couldn't establish a connection to the Web.
I ran into a minor problem getting NFC to work with a Samsung Galaxy S III at first and had to call Canon for help, but after I established the connection once, it worked without problems. And if your phone or tablet supports NFC, you can establish a connection by touching it to a clearly marked spot on the printer. If you prefer to connect by USB cable to a single PC, you can still print and scan from a mobile device by using the MG7520's Access Point mode to connect directly to the printer. Connect the MG7520 to your network, by either Ethernet or Wi-Fi, and you can both print from and scan to iOS, Android, and Windows phones and tablets through an access point on the network. Another nice feature is that it can print on optical discs. The MG7520's dedicated photo tray can hold 20 sheets of 4-by-6-inch photo paper or 10 sheets of 5-by-7-inch paper. It also helps that you don't have to swap out the paper to switch between document printing and photos, as you do with the Canon MG6620, which is the company's next step down for photo inkjet MFPs. Paper handling is on the meager side, but good enough for light-duty use in a home or home office, with a 125-sheet capacity for the main tray and a built-in duplexer (for two-sided printing).

However, it adds some features that the Canon MX922 lacks, including Canon's Wi-Fi Access Point mode and NFC support. It leaves out faxing and an automatic document feeder (ADF), for example, offering only a letter-size flatbed for scanning. Limiting the MG7520's appeal somewhat is the fact that it doesn't provide all the features that help make the Canon MX922 our Editors' Choice. It's also a match for the Canon Pixma MX922 Wireless Office All-In-One Printer ($519.99 at Amazon) (Opens in a new window) -our Editors' Choice home or dual-purpose home and home-office MFP, with an emphasis on home use. The quality of the photo output for the MG7520 ($621.37 at Amazon) (Opens in a new window) is in the top tier for inkjet MFPs in general. But speed is not a strong point, and its paper capacity is on the light side. Its most notable advantage is better-looking output, particularly for photos.
