Canon PIXMA G6050 A4 MFP 3IN1 USB WLAN CLOUD LINK

I've had this printer for a few months now and have grown to love it. It does everything I need a uses very little ink - the problem if you don't buy genuine Canon is the special top need on the bottle - but there is a way around it. Even the Canon inks are cheap compared to Canon cartridges though.

I chose to set this printer up manually on the grounds that I didn't want to install a load of third party software aside from the driver. I probably made the setup more complex than necessary as a result so that's partially my fault, but manually entering the router name and password was a chore with the printer's control panel.Once it was installed both printing and scanning worked great over AirPrint (the reason I wanted this printer was because it supported AirPrint and wouldn't require additional software). The colours seem a little muted but there's probably some tweaks I can make regarding that. (UPDATE: You get far more vibrant colours when printing onto photo paper instead of regular A4)The amount of black ink you get with this printer is insane! 3 bottles totalling about half a litre of ink is probably enough ink to last for the lifetime of the printer. The colour ink supply isn't so generous but at least replacement bottles will be cheaper.

I have tried all sorts of printers that don't last long. This picks up labels better than others and is very economical on ink so don't let the purchase price put you off. You will more than save this in ink.

I've been using this for 12 months for domestic printing - bought because old Canon that I'd had for 8 years finally gave up. Was concerned about ink tanks but really no need - it comes with 3 blacks and one of each colour bottles, filled with no mess and after a year the black tank is still 1/4 full and colour tanks over half full. I guess in that time I've printed at least 3000 sheets. The only thing I don't like is the cheap black lcd display which is unreadable without shining a light on it and really unacceptable in a printer of this quality. Having said that its only used infrequently. Overall an excellent product and much cheaper / convenient to run than the cartridge ink model.

Product failed before the completion of set-up and had to be returned for refund. No Canon helpline available to troubleshoot the problem. The display is so small as to be practically unreadable - poor for a printer at this price point.

This printer has tanks for the ink which even after a few months of use show little sign of being depleted. That was the primary reason I went for that type of printer after spending fortunes over the years for HP cartridges.It works well with Windows, iphone and (latest) Linux.The printer is quite deep. When printing photos you need a good 2ft of space.I am concerned that the flimsy plastic on the photo paper feeder and the output tray may not last as long as the ink does should they get any form of knock.

I managed to get the app installed but I am still struggling with installing on both of my 2 laptops.Cannon could not help and our IT is also struggling. Do for now would not recommend for anyone who is not a specialist.Print quality is ace though

Good
