Working in the cloud is one of the biggest buzzwords in the technology industry today. And what better way is there to keep your products at the cutting edge than by making sure that they incorporate these latest must-have features into its roster of capabilities, as in the case with Canon’s latest Pixma MG8270.

By coming with Canon’s Pixma Cloud Link and WiFi capabilities, the MG8270 connects directly to online photo albums for the viewing and printing of photos without the aid of a PC. Intuitively, the WiFi feature also allows for the wireless printing of photos and documents from both iOS and Android devices.

We also especially like the MG8270’s Intelligent Touch System that makes use of an LCD panel and a special touch-sensitive area to navigate through the printer’s various functions. What makes this extra special is the fact that only relevant touch keys are lit at each menu, ensuring that users are never overloaded with unnecessary options.

A six ink printer that packs in an extra cartridge of gray ink, the MG8270 is an ideal all-in-one that produces great monochrome prints and incorporates film scanning capabilities for those who would like to digitize their films. Surely, this is a sign of a printer made for the ages, which is exactly why it gets our hearty Esquire Endorsement for the day.
