Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE C7580i Review: Features, Specs

By -

1. Overview & Positioning

The Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE C7580i is a high-end colour laser multifunction print/copy/scan device designed for enterprise and production-lite environments. It is part of Canon’s “imageRUNNER ADVANCE C7500 Series” geared towards large shared print services, high-volume departmental output, university copy centers, marketing collateral departments, etc.

Key positioning points:

  • Up to 80 ppm in black-and-white and 70 ppm in colour (A4/Letter) in some configurations.

  • Supports media sizes up to 13″ × 19″ (330 × 483 mm) and very flexible tray/finisher options.

  • Very large paper capacity (up to approx. 9,300 sheets) when fully configured.

  • Positioned for shared workflows, advanced finishing, scanning workflows and enterprise-grade integration.

In other words, this is not a typical desktop or small office machine — it’s built for demanding business usage that requires speed, media flexibility, finishing and high throughput.

2. Key Specifications & Features

Here are some of the most relevant specs and features for business evaluation:

Print / Copy / Scan Performance

  • Print speed (A4/Letter): Up to 80/70 ppm (BW/colour) for one configuration of the C7580i. 

  • First-copy-out time: As fast as ~4.4 seconds (black) and ~5.4 seconds (colour) in some specs.

  • Print resolution: Up to 1,200 × 1,200 dpi (writing) and 600 × 600 dpi reading (scanner) in many specs.

Media Handling & Capacity

  • Maximum paper capacity: Up to 9,300 sheets with the right paper deck configuration. 

  • Supported media sizes: Up to 13″ × 19″ (330 × 483 mm) and custom sizes from 100 × 148 mm up to 330 × 487.7 mm.

  • Media weight: Paper drawers support 52–220 g/m², some trays up to 256 g/m², stack bypass up to 300 g/m². 

Finishing & Workflow Features

  • Extensive finishing options: stapling, booklet making, hole punching, Z-fold, accordion fold, trimming etc. (Depending on configuration).

  • Scanning throughput: Duplex scanning support with high speeds; for example double-sided scanning BW up to 240 ipm at 300 dpi in some models.

Connectivity, Security & Software

  • Enterprise-grade connectivity including Gigabit Ethernet, optional wireless LAN, optional NFC/Bluetooth.

  • Security features: Hard-disk encryption, secure print, user authentication, etc.

  • Software workflow support: remote management, fleet management, cloud/scan workflows, support for mobile devices.

Physical & Environmental Specs

  • Dimensions (W × D × H) approx 689 mm × 941 mm × 1,220 mm (for one configuration) with weight ~270 kg for the base machine.

  • Power consumption: Maximum approx. 2.5 kW in some configurations; sleep mode as low as ~0.9 W in some specs.

3. Performance & Real-World Use

Productivity & Throughput

In a large business context the C7580i offers true high throughput for colour printing which can handle heavy loads of documents, marketing materials, large format prints up to 13″×19″, and multiple jobs in parallel. The fast first-copy times, high sheet capacity and finishing options support efficient workflow in busy print/copy centres or internal enterprise print rooms.

Colour Output & Media Flexibility

The ability to print on heavier media, up to 13″×19″ size, supports internal production of client-facing collateral, booklets, large reports, signage. The high resolution and Canon’s print engine ensure output quality suitable for marketing and professional purposes, not just internal draft prints.

Scanning & Capture Workflows

Large scanning throughput (e.g., 240 ipm for duplex in some specs) and integrated scanning to folder/email/cloud make the device apt for digital capture workflows (archiving, file management, scan-to-workflow). The large capacity feeders and workflow software support multi-department scanning tasks.

Reliability, Cost Efficiency & Manageability

Because this is an enterprise-grade device, Canon designs it for high-uptime operations, remote diagnostics, fleet management and consumable yield (toner bottle yields around 66,500 to 82,000 pages for standard yield per colour in some specs) which reduces cost per impression. For business use this means better total cost of ownership (TCO) when used in high volumes.

Considerations & Limitations

  • Because of its high specification and size, it requires substantial floor space, power supply considerations, and proper service access.

  • For smaller offices with low volume, the cost (both capital and operational) may be overkill.

  • Many of the features (large format, advanced finishing) may not be utilised in a typical standard office environment — you should assess whether you will use the capacity.

  • As with any big MFP, you’ll need to formalise maintenance, consumable management and support contracts.

4. Business Use & Deployment Fit

Ideal Use Cases

  • Enterprise print centres, internal corporate print services, university libraries, centralised departmental print/copier services, where both colour and mono volumes are high.

  • Organisations needing mixed media output: internal/external marketing, large format reports, booklets, high-volume scanning and archiving.

  • Companies with a managed print services (MPS) model, where fleet management, user tracking, cost recovery and enterprise security are required.

  • Environments with multi-user access, walk-up self-service print stations, even pay-per-print kiosks (the finishing and size support enable this).

Less Ideal Situations

  • Small offices (e.g., fewer than ~20 users) with modest printing needs — the device may be too large/expensive and under-used.

  • Offices where colour printing is minimal and mono dominates — a mono-only device or smaller colour MFP may be more cost-effective.

  • Environments without sufficient physical space, power supply or service contract to support such a large machine.

  • Where budget is constrained and the utilisation of advanced features will be minimal — simpler devices may suffice.

Cost of Ownership & Strategic Considerations

  • Because this is a high-capacity machine, the expectation is you will run high volumes; if volumes are low, cost per page may be higher than smaller devices.

  • Ensure service support, consumables availability, firmware updates and spare parts are maintained in your region (especially in Indonesia) – large enterprise devices may have specific service conditions.

  • Plan for full lifecycle: given the investment, factor in 5-7 year usage, and consider future refresh/upgradability.

  • Use the fleet management and cost-monitoring tools (such as Canon’s uniFLOW or ULM) to track usage, assign cost to departments, manage user access and control printing behaviours.

5. Pros & Cons — Summary

Pros:

  • Very high print/copy speed for colour and mono (up to 80/70 ppm) which is rare in many environments.

  • Large media support (up to 13″×19″), flexible tray configuration, large capacity (9 300 sheets) and strong finishing options.

  • Powerful scanning/capture features, suitable for business workflows beyond just printing.

  • Enterprise-grade software, security, fleet management and integration capabilities.

  • Good total cost of ownership when used in high volume, and features tailored to high-end business needs.

Cons:

  • Large footprint, heavy weight (~270 kg) and space/power requirements may limit placement or require infrastructure changes.

  • High initial cost, and cost per page may not be optimal if usage is low.

  • Many advanced features may be under-utilised in smaller offices, causing investment inefficiency.

  • Operational support and service burden is higher (consumables management, maintenance intervals) which may require dedicated admin.

  • If your business only needs standard A4 office printing, this device may be over-spec.

6. Deployment Tips & Best Practices

  • Match capacity to usage: Before purchasing, estimate monthly print/scan volumes, colour vs mono ratio, sheet sizes. If you’re not going to use the 80 ppm speed or 13″×19″ media, consider a smaller model.

  • Installation planning: Ensure you have the physical space, power supply (220-240 V, 11 A or more) and environmental conditions (temperature/humidity) per spec. Ventilation and service access are essential.

  • Paper/tray configuration: Configure paper decks, cassettes and bypass according to job mix (normal office, large format, heavy media). Use optional drawers to minimise refill at high volume.

  • Finishing options: If you need booklets, stapling, folding etc, make sure the correct finisher is included (e.g., Booklet Finisher-V2, Booklet Finisher-X1) to get full value.

  • Workflow integration: Turn on scanning workflows, mobile printing, cloud integration, job accounting and cost tracking — this enhances value by reducing manual tasks and waste.

  • Cost control: Use tracking/quoting modules (like ULM or uniFLOW) to allocate cost per department, set user permissions for colour, control waste and enforce duplex/eco modes as defaults.

  • Maintenance planning: Define service contract, consumables inventory (toner yields etc), maintenance intervals (drums, developers) and include training for staff to minimalise downtime.

  • Lifecycle strategy: Because this is a large investment, plan for usage over 5-7 years and consider refresh or trade-in strategy early. Also ensure spare parts and consumables availability in your region (Indonesia) or region specific service plan.

7. Final Verdict

The Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE C7580i is a top-tier enterprise colour multifunction solution built for high-volume, mixed-media, multi-user environments. If your organization has large print/scan volumes, uses colour extensively, needs large format support, booklets or heavy finishing, and wants strong workflow integration and cost control — then this machine offers excellent value and returns.

On the other hand, if your business printing needs are modest (e.g., standard A4, maybe a few thousand pages/month, limited colour) then this device would be over-spec, possibly incurring unnecessary cost. For such cases a smaller colour MFP or even an A4 variant might be more practical and cost-efficient.

Recommendation:

  • ✔ Choose this model if you have high-volume multi-department usage, large format output needs, heavy finishing and require enterprise-grade functionality.

  • ⚠ Consider alternatives if you have lower volumes, standard sizes (A4/A3 only), minimal finishing, or budget constraints.
