Overview

The Canon iP7220 is a dedicated photo inkjet printer built around a 5-ink system — cyan, magenta, yellow, dye-based black, and pigment black, supplemented by gray — that reaches a maximum resolution of 9600 x 2400 dpi in color. That resolution figure represents the finest ink droplet placement Canon's FINE nozzle technology achieves on this platform, and in practice it translates to photo output that holds up under close inspection: smooth gradient transitions, accurate skin tones, and neutral gray rendering that doesn't drift warm or cool. The total nozzle count of 5,120 across color and pigment black channels means the printer can lay down fine detail and broad tonal areas simultaneously without banding at standard viewing distances.

Beyond photo output, the iP7220 covers practical home and small-office capabilities: automatic duplex printing, borderless output across formats up to 8x10, CD and DVD disc printing via an included tray, and wireless connectivity via 802.11b/g/n with AirPrint support. It connects via Hi-Speed USB as a wired fallback. The individual ink tank design — with XL cartridge options for the high-use colors — keeps running costs lower than sealed multi-color cartridge systems by letting you replace depleted inks independently. This is a printer designed for photographers and creative home users who want output quality that reduces reliance on third-party print labs, with enough document capability to handle everyday printing without a second device.

Frequently Asked Questions

The iP7220 supports IEEE 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi and Apple AirPrint, plus Hi-Speed USB for wired connection. It will connect to any standard 2.4GHz 802.11n router without a driver install for AirPrint-enabled Apple devices.
Yes — the addition of a dedicated gray ink cartridge (CLI-251) enables smoother neutral tone rendering in black-and-white prints and reduces the color contamination that causes gray tones to appear slightly warm or cool with a 4-ink CMYK system. The separate pigment black (PGI-250) handles sharp document text while dye-based inks handle photo gradients.
Canon rates the iP7220 at approximately 21 seconds per 4x6 borderless print. For a batch of 20 prints — a typical event or travel photo session — expect roughly 7 minutes of print time at maximum quality settings.
Yes — the iP7220 includes a CD/DVD tray (stored under the main paper tray) for printing directly onto inkjet-printable optical discs. This capability requires compatible printable disc media; standard discs without a printable coating will not accept ink.
The iP7220 uses Canon CLI-251 series (C, M, Y, BK) dye-based cartridges and PGI-250 pigment black. XL versions reduce per-page cost. Canon's individual tank system means you replace only depleted colors. Third-party cartridges may work but can trigger firmware warnings and affect color profiling accuracy.
