Description

If you’re looking at any more than occasional office type printing, then move along. Canon have loads of other printers that fill that requirement. Test prints Ok, it prints nicely enough on plain paper – not super sharp, and colour images on plain paper look much as you’d expect.

At 1/5th of the cost per print, I can print something that looks great on my wall. I can give out great looking prints to friends and family.All paper is loaded via the top slot – this works just fine. I’m looking at this as a photo printer, so really don’t care about duplex/trays/cassettes and the like. If I wanted an office printer I’d get one. However, I persisted and have to report that yes you can make good colour managed prints on a Mac (we have no PCs here at all). It takes some effort, but it can be done. The ink bottles are keyed to their respective ink tanks and can not be mistaken. They fill the tank in a matter of seconds. The upshot of my testing is that the ink set of the G550 is capable of creating moderately good looking B&W prints, but once again you need to see whether your paper is OK for your needs. You will have 90 days to re-activate any cancelled subscription. Any discounts you had before cancelling your subscription will still apply when you re-activate. However, if this discount has changed since your cancellation (i.e., increased or decreased), we will inform you of this change. After 90 days, you will need to sign-up to Auto-Ink Delivery subscription again if you wish to use this service and all your previously earned discounts would no longer be applicable.

It is driverless. I have used it from an Android phone, a Windows computer, a Linux computer and an iPhone. The dye based inks are the older Chromalife 100 inks, not the Chromalife 100+ inks found in the PRO-200 I reviewed a while ago – they are not archival enough for work I’d sell. The Canon Pixma G550 is a single function printer that is capable of producing high-quality photo prints and is ideally suited to domestic and photography printing.

Customer Q&As

The six ink bottles have a physical ‘key’ built into the top, to prevent attaching the wrong ink to any fill port.

The Instax Square Link is a little different to the other printers on this list, and it’s the one to choose if you’re printing pictures from a smartphone and want a portable option. To take advantage of AirPrint, your compatible printer must be connected to the same wireless network as your iOS device or Mac computer.That's where the tanks come in. The printer comes with a full load (not 50% as some budget printers). The tanks contain 60ml of ink, which is 4-8 times as much as cardridge based printers.

Both printers take advantage of an all-new six-colour ChromaLife100 dye ink set that's formulated to stand the test of time: lasting up to 100 years in a photo album when the images are printed onto Canon Plus Glossy II PP-201 paper. Whether you’re printing for customers or for use in personal photo albums, you can be assured of quality that lasts a lifetime. A4 document print speed on plain paper is measured based on average of ESAT in Office Category Test of ISO/IEC 24734 standard. The printer comes with 6 bottles and 2 printheads. It needs some installation which is not obvious. Dye-based ink differentiates itself over pigment ink with brighter, more vibrant colours making it a good choice for colour photographs and also produces slightly sharper prints with text-based documents. Dye-based ink tends to be slightly cheaper too, which is good news for high capacity print requirements. Ink durability and sunlight volatility is said to be slightly lower than pigment based ink, but we’re talking about decades of durability rather than years for both options. UV resistant glass is always recommended if hanging any picture in an environment with direct sunlight. Easy to use, the 2-line LCD allows users to access information and adjust settings effortlessly, while automatic power off saves energy

I know they say 'annoyance over low quality remains long after the joy of the low price is gone' - but there is a limit to what I can spend, or I might as well buy from a professional printing service. I saw no difference in prints between different 'glossy' papers. Obviously there is a difference between glossy and matte.
