AI-generated summary
I wouldn’t call this an everyday “buy it and forget it” office printer, but the Canon i-SENSYS set-up can make sense if you’re a small team that needs colour laser output without babysitting. The Wi‑Fi element is the big practical win here: it reduces cable faff and keeps printing straightforward for multiple users. Canon’s i‑SENSYS line also tends to be reliable for typical business workloads, so you’re less likely to run into the “it prints one day, then sulks” experience you occasionally get with cheaper alternatives.
That said, at **£827.50 ex‑VAT**, this is priced like it’s meant for organisations that will actually use it regularly and/or value predictable output more than experimenting. If your print volume is light, you’ll likely feel the cost more than you benefit from it—especially compared with lower-cost colour lasers or monochrome setups for day-to-day admin. I’d suggest it for teams that print colour documents fairly often (sales collateral, forms, internal comms) and want a dependable network printer rather than a budget compromise. If most of your work is black-and-white, or you only print colour occasionally, I’d look harder at a cheaper colour option—or split the workflow with a monochrome laser for bulk printing.
