The Canon Color imageCLASS MF653Cdw is a budget-friendly color laser printer that punches above its weight. This review delves into its design, performance, print quality, and user-friendliness, exploring its strengths and limitations.
Canon 's Color imageCLASS MF653Cdw is an affordable color laser printer that's a good choice for small businesses or home offices that need quick color prints and single-page copies. Canon is one of the best printer brands, so the low-cost Color imageClass MF653Cdw caught my eye. It’s a fast- color laser printer that comes with a three-year warranty. I went hands-on to see how well it performed in real-world tests.
When the price and specifications look this good, I dig into the details and look for hidden issues to ensure it’s one of the best color laser printers before giving my recommendation. I’ll cover the design, performance, quality, and running costs to help you decide if the Color imageClass MF653Cdw is the right printer for you.Canon’s Color imageClass MF653Cdw is a nice-looking printer with an off-white body and a slanted graphite stripe in the middle. It reminds me of a racing stripe since it makes the printer look like it’s leaning forward. It’s a sturdy all-in-one with scan, copy, and print capabilities. It measures 17.8″ by 18.2 by 14.2″ inches and weighs nearly 40 pounds. Big, heavy printers are typically built to last. Still, the rounded curves and segmented design break up a boxy machine so it can easily blend into a home office or a modern workspace. A flatbed scanner sits on top and the output bin is in the middle. Canon placed a large 5-inch color touchscreen to the right and gave it a nice adjustment range, tilting forward up to 56 degrees from horizontal. It’s easy to operate and use while standing or seated. An open USB-A port on the front left allows printing from and scanning to thumb drives. The main paper tray is a removable drawer that holds 250 sheets and a single-sheet manual feed slot simplifies one-off prints of envelopes and labels.Print quality and speed are critical for color laser printers and the Color imageClass MF653Cdw didn’t disappoint. The first page rolled out in as little as 10 seconds, looking great. Color prints just as fast as monochrome, with a sustained throughput of 22 pages per minute (ppm). While that isn’t as fast as the Canon Color imageClass MF753cdw, it’s still a good pace for long reports and brochures. Canon is known for its professional and enthusiast DSLR cameras, so it’s no surprise the company pays particular attention to image quality. That’s reflected in the Color imageClass MF653Cdw’s excellent quality on color documents and photos even when printing on plain paper. The colors are accurate, there’s no banding, and the details are crisp. Still, it can’t compete with a dedicated inkjet photo printer with output that looks like lab-quality photographs. While color laser printers use four colors, some inkjets allow subtle variations, mixing up to ten base colors to create a more nuanced picture. Canon’s Color imageClass MF653Cdw is an all-in-one printer with a flatbed scanner, so it can scan photos and documents or make color copies, saving you a trip to the office store. It’s relatively quick, taking only 15 seconds for a single-sided document. The quality is nice with true colors and crisp text. This model lacks an automatic document feeder (ADF), so if you need to scan multi-page documents, you’ll want to check out my review of the Canon Color imageClass MF654Cdw. It’s quite similar but costs a bit more and adds an ADF. The USB-A port is easy to access for walk-up printing without a mobile app. It worked as expected and the color touchscreen has an option to show a grid of thumbnails or a single image to preview what will print. Since cameras name photos with numbers instead of useful information like location or the type of content, it’s important to see a thumbnail or a preview before printing. The Color imageClass MF653Cdw allows both.The Canon Color imageClass MF653Cdw was easy to set up. Four toner cartridges were pre-installed, so I only needed to plug it in, complete the startup calibration and connect Wi-Fi. Canon uses an advanced image calibration system that prints one sheet, then instructs me to place that in the scanner. Within minutes, the Color imageClass MF653Cdw was ready to use. Wi-Fi connection was just as simple. I selected my local network, entered the password on the color touchscreen and moved on to linking my computer and phone. Computers see the Canon Color imageClass MF653Cdw instantly and automatically download drivers as needed. For iOS and Android, I installed the Canon Print app. I keep printers in a separate room to reduce noise during bigger print jobs from my computer. I use the Canon Print app or AirPrint while standing at the printer to get quick feedback on photo prints. Nearly everything worked as expected. I was pleased to find the Color imageClass MF653Cdw can print envelopes from my iPhon
