“Can’t print on glossy paper” should not be in the pros column.

Update: We’ve added a link to the Brother MFC-L3780CDW/MFC-L3720CDW in the ‘Color Documents’ section of the review to provide an alternative that prints less oversaturated documents out-of-the-box.
Hi,
We generally don’t recommend laser printers for photo printing because they produce low-resolution pictures with visible printing pattern. Also, laser printers usually have a narrow color range. If you must print pictures with a laser printer, the HP M283fdw produces brighter pictures, but it isn’t as color-accurate as the MF656Cdw. There’s no way to adjust the Canon to produce brighter pictures since it’s limited by its color range.
I wish I still had my old HP CP2025DN. Pictures looked fantastic on it, without the detriments you mentioned.
I do see you can adjust colors/brightness in the Canon driver dialog, but they don’t seem to stick for future prints.
I noticed compared to my older (10yr+ older) HP Color LaserJet that the pictures look terrible, mainly too dark. Although its direct competitor on your site shows the HP MFP m283fdw being marginally better, at least the photo wasn’t as dark and more true to the brightness. What is the best way to adjust this on the Canon?

Hi,
Thanks for pointing it out. We’ll correct it as soon as possible.

Hi, Unfortunately, no, the MF656Cdw doesn’t support 5GHz Wi-Fi.

Does it support 5ghz Wi-Fi?
