Its light plastic shell helps to keep the weight down, so it’s just 7.6 pounds – the downside of this is that it’s more likely to break if you drop it, but for breakages that aren’t your fault, Canon has you covered. The MG2520 is 16.8” wide, 12.1” tall and 5.8” deep, so it’s the perfect size to fit on a shelf or beside your desk. Copying a page takes around 31 seconds and you can make up to 21 copies at a time. Scans are stored at up to 600 x 1200 dots per inch ( DPI), which is fine, and the printer has red-eye correction built-in, just in case you’d like to scan old photographs. This reduces the speed at which it prints but cuts its sound output by several decibels. If you find the printer a little too noisy, switch it to quiet mode.

This model won’t get you professional quality prints but images are perfectly recognizable if a little blurred up close.Īs this is an all-in-one printer, you can also scan and copy documents. You can print eight black and white pages or four coloured pages per minute, and they come out looking decent. This printer isn’t the fastest, but it’s alright. You probably won’t want to print with a limited colour palette, but if you only use the black ink, you don’t have to spend money on colours. It uses a four-colour cartridge system (that’s one cartridge each for black, cyan, magenta and yellow ink) which means that if one colour runs out, you can continue to print using just the others. This is on the smaller side, as far as printers go, but since the price is so low, we have to limit our expectations a little.

This printer has a paper tray which holds up to 60 sheets of paper.


It has a light silver casing and a very basic control system so even if you aren’t a particularly tech-savvy person, you’ll still be able to use this with ease. Deceptively attractive, actually, given that it’s the least expensive product we’ll be reviewing today, costing less than 70 USD. The Canon MG2520 is an attractive printer.
