Pick this if...
- You run an in-house print room, design department, or small commercial shop printing 8,000-30,000 pages a month and want production-class image quality in a desktop-class footprint (27.1 x 37.1 inches).
- You produce occasional 13x19 short-run work and need 2400 dpi R-VCSEL output, not office-MFP quality.
- You scan high volumes — the 200-sheet single-pass duplex ADF runs 270 ipm color / 270 ipm BW duplex (faster than the older C165's 220 ipm).
- You need full MFP capability: print, copy, scan-to-email/SMB/FTP/USB/Advanced Box/cloud, plus optional fax.
- You want SSD storage (256 GB standard, 1 TB max with mirroring) for faster job spooling and quieter operation.
