Canon i-SENSYS MF655Cdw / imageCLASS MF653Cdw review

Canon i-SENSYS MF655Cdw / imageCLASS MF653Cdw

Sold as the Canon imageCLASS MF653Cdw in the USA, and the Canon i-SENSYS MF655Cdw in Europe, this is the mid-range model from Canon’s MF650 series of color laser printers, designed for small business and the home office. As such, it features an ADF (Auto Document Feeder) which is lacking in the base model, as well as a faster turn of speed. On the other hand, it lacks a direct fax facility and single-pass duplex scanning, which are only featured in the range-topping printer.

Like any laser printer, it’s certainly not a good fit for photo printing but is ideal for creating mono and color documents, where you want crisp, finely detailed text and bold color and graphics. Further advantages include good resistance to smudging, whether from a coffee mug or the use of highlighter pens.

Although quite weighty at 22.6kg, the printer has a fairly small footprint for a multi-function color laser with an ADF, pictured here alongside a 27-inch computer monitor (Image credit: Matthew Richards)
