Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. does this printer have a paper feed tray on the back like the canon pro-100?

A: No this would not.

Q: 2. I would like to use all pigment ink cartridges from the beginning. Will that work on this printer?

A: Only the PGBK Black the PGI-250 for this printer is pigment, all the other 5 inks c/m/y/k/g CLI-251 are dye based. Canon doesn't make any in pigment that fit this printer. Using aftermarket inks in my experience clogs the printheads. If you do it, it's @ your own risk.

Q: 3. I have El Capitan operating system - is this printer compatible?

A: It works with both, my MacBook Pro laptop and Mini, yes! Now, the ink is another issue, it would not last long if you use the printer once a week/month. In between, it just dries out. Every day use, that's OK. Big prints - amazing!

Q: 4. Want to replace Epson Stylus Photo 1400 with Canon iP 8720. Operating system Windows 7. Possible?

A: Yes, the Canon PIXMA iP8720 Wireless Inkjet Photo Printer supports Windows 7.

Q: 5. Can this printer handle fine art paper like William Turner?

A: This printer can handle paper weights up to 200 gsm. The specific paper you are asking about is the Hahnemühle William Turner 310 gsm, the answer is no.

Q: 6. GSM maximum for this printer? Will it accept Canon Pro Premium Matte paper with 210 GSM? How about other brands with 265 GSM?

A: Yes, the Canon PIXMA iP8720 Wireless Inkjet Photo Printer (B&H# CAIP8720) can use paper such as Canon PM-101 Photo Paper Pro Premium Matte (13 x 19", 50 Sheets) (B&H# CAPM1011950) which is 210gsm. Given that Canon lists this printer as compatible with their Canon Pro Platinum Photo Paper 4 x 6" (50 Sheets) (B&H# CAPPPP4650) which is 300gsm and also their Canon MG-101 Magnetic Photo Paper (4 x 6", 5 Sheets) (B&H# CA3634C002) which is 670gsm, it would seem unlikely that you will experience any difficulty with any paper that is not card stock. Canon does not, however, list a specific gsm limit.

Q: 7. Is Canon Premium Fine Art Smooth paper compatible with the iP8720? 310 GSM, 16.5 MIL

A: Canon does not list its PIXMA iP8720 Wireless Inkjet Photo Printer (B&H# CAIP8720) as being compatible with its Canon Premium Fine Art Smooth Paper (13 x 19", 25 Sheets) (B&H# CA1711C004), nor vice versa. To be clear, Canon officially gives a listing of the Canon papers that will work with this printer (see p.195 of the manual) and the one you asked about is clearly excluded. Notably, it’s 50 gsm heavier than the heaviest of them. Speaking generally, in such a situation, even if such especially heavy and thick paper does make it through a printer (which is likely in this case), it can happen that the springs used to give the rollers the right amount of tension to grip the paper may be overly compressed by the paper’s weight and thickness. The consequence of that excessive compression can be that the tension is reduced and so the rollers subsequently have difficulty gripping thinner papers. There are also cases in which a printer’s print head may even experience too much friction with overly thick papers and thus the prints come out poorly, if at all. Having said all of that, there's no question that the paper itself would do well with the ink, and if you use individual, flat, and unbent sheets of such paper in the top-rear feed then you will get the best result possible. For all the reasons mentioned, we just cannot endorse doing that.

Q: 9. how fast do the cartridges dry up. I am an on and off semi-pro photographer so the same would go for printing. printer might sit for 30 days unused then might spend half a day printing continuously. It would be dedicated to photo only I have a dell laser scanner printer for documents. I do take night shots and do dusk and dawn silhouettes so I am concerned about the halo effect expressed by another owner. Is there a different canon printer that doesn't have this issue? or should I be looking to another printer altogether?

A: I've found that I can let the print sit idle for well over 30 days with no hit of drying. After that I will print 15 photos and have no issues with the print quality at all.

Q: 10. Is this printer capable of manual duplexing?

A: Of course, just flip the paper over and reload it blank side up.
