Digital Camera World Verdict

The TR7650 is a compact and convenient addition for home or small office spaces. While its scan quality and noise level might not be top-notch, its impressive print quality, especially on glossy paper, makes it suitable for casual users' needs. It offers a 20-page Automatic Document Feeder, double-sided printing, fax and copy functions, Wi-Fi, and Cloud printing. However, its ink can be expensive, so opting for XL or XXL cartridges is advisable for better value. Regular printing is also necessary to prevent print head clogging, which can be costly to resolve due to the pricey ink used for unclogging.

Canon’s PIXMA TR7650 promises to squeeze in all of the features you could want from a home and office printer into one neat, space-saving unit. As a 4-in-1 printer, the TR7650 manages to fit a printer, scanner, copier, and fax machine all under one roof, and boasts Cloud printing, Wi-Fi, double-sided, and an automatic document feeder for copying thrown in for good measure too!

Bundling all of these components together is always going to be a compromise, and it’s worth noting that if you’re looking to make prints that you can sell you’d most likely be better off with a dedicated printer such as the Canon PIXMA iP8750 (£239) which can print much larger A3+ and has a higher maximum resolution of 9600x2400dpi, or the newly announced Canon imagePrograf PRO-1100 (£1,099) which uses 12 pigment inks for even better archival quality.
