Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Canon imageRUNNER 2018 is actually for

Most printer pages just tell you what a printer does. Here's the honest version: when this machine is the right choice, when it's fine, and when you should look at something else. We sell a lot of these for a reason, but the reason is not "every office."

Best fit

Pick this if...

  • You run a 3-10 person office and need a basic A3 mono MFP — the 2018i version gives you network print/scan/duplex standard.
  • You print 1,500-3,500 pages a month, mostly letter with occasional 11x17.
  • You're replacing an existing iR 2018 and want toner supply continuity (GPR-22 family).
  • You need network scan-to-email and SMB folder for invoices/contracts — standard on the 2018i model.
  • You want a small footprint A3 (22.9 x 24.5 inches, 90 lb) that doesn't need its own room.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print up to 5,000 pages a month — within duty cycle, but the 18 ppm speed will feel slow on long jobs.
  • You bought the base 2018 (not 2018i) and want network features later — they're add-on kits, not free upgrades.
  • You occasionally need legal-size duplex — works on the 2018i but check the feeder spec for paper weight.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You print over 5,000 pages a month — move up to a 2530 or 2545 for proper duty cycle headroom.
  • You need color. This is mono only.
  • You need modern features: AirPrint, scan-to-cloud, TLS 1.2, encrypted PDF — the 2018 platform predates all of those.
  • You need fast scanning — the DADF tops out around 30-50 ipm, slow vs current peers.
  • You're confused about 2018 vs 2018i — the 'i' suffix means network/print/duplex/DADF are standard; the base 2018 is copier-only.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Canon imageRUNNER 2018 is a small-office A3 black-and-white MFP that prints 18 pages per minute on letter, with 350-sheet total capacity (250-sheet cassette plus 100-sheet bypass) and a 60,000 pages/month max duty cycle. The 'i' suffix matters: the iR 2018i ships with the duplex unit, network print/scan, and the 50-sheet DADF as standard, while the base iR 2018 is copier-only with everything else optional. Resolution is 1200 x 600 dpi, first copy out is 6.9 seconds, and the control panel is a 5-line monochrome LCD — no touchscreen here. The chassis is 22.9 x 24.5 x 25.1 inches and weighs 90 lb, so it sits on a sturdy table or low cabinet. Toner is the GPR-22 / C-EXV18 family, still stocked broadly. This is the right machine for a 3-10 person office printing 1,500-3,500 pages a month that needs occasional tabloid output and basic scan-to-email. The thing buyers regret: ordering the base 2018 to save $400, then paying $700 in kits to add network and duplex. Spec the 2018i if you want a working MFP. If volume is over 5,000 pages/month or you need modern scan workflows, look at the 2525/2530 instead.

Supplies & consumables

Toner, yields, and what to actually reorder

The #1 question we get on this printer is "which toner do I buy?" Short answer: you have two cartridge options and a drum. Standard yield TN830 covers roughly 1,200 pages. High yield TN830XL covers roughly 4,500 pages and is the better value for most offices. Pick XL unless you print very little.

The drum unit (DR810) is separate and usually lasts 15,000 to 30,000 pages before it needs replacing. At a typical small office volume, expect to change it once every 2 to 4 years.

If you lease this printer through us, toner and drum are included. You never pay for supplies separately. That's usually the better deal once you add up real costs over 3 years.
