Canon PIXMA iX6550 review

 

Canon's PIXMA iX6550 inkjet printer doesn't have a scanner, copier, automatic document feeder, auto-duplex or any other complicated circuitry to confuse you — all it does is print documents and photos from the tiny 6x4in size all the way to A3+.

Canon's iX6550 is a good general-purpose A3 printer for any office or home user who just needs reasonable print quality and doesn't mind the restriction of USB-only connectivity.

Canon Pixma iX6550 review

 

You'll find more features available on competitors' similarly priced models, but if you value print quality and speed over extra bells and whistles then the Pixma iX6550 is definitely worth consideration.

Supports A3 printing ; High 9,600-dpi maximum resolution ; Fast printing speed

No memory cards slots or PictBridge support ; No Wi-Fi connectivity

If you need A3 printouts then the Canon Pixma iX6550 is a pretty decent option mainly due to its fairly speedy output and the high quality results it produces. However, given the lack of extras such as Wi-Fi and PictBridge support, it seems a bit...

Canon PIXMA iX6550

 

An A3+ printer which doesn't cost the earth to buy and produces high quality images at good print speeds, particularly when printing photos.

Comparatively quick photo print ; Telescopic paper supports for small footprint ; 9,600dpi max resolution

No memory card slots or PictBridge ; No LCD display ; No wireless connection

If you need larger print on a regular basis, but have limited resources, Canon's PIXMA iX6550 is a good choice. It's print quality is up with other Canon inkjets and while its feature set is basic, it prints reasonably quickly, particularly when...

I bought this product for my home business. I bought extra ink, paper, the works to hit the ground running. The quality was actually very good, until the printer stopped working. I spoke to Amazon who passed me on to Canon. I would have preferred if...

Canon Pixma iX6550

 

Make no mistake, this is a great printer. As others have said, to get better A3+ prints you will have to spend at least twice as much. However, as with most of these lower-medium cost Canon inkjets, you pay through the nose for the Canon genuine ink...

Amazing results, but not cheap to run

 

I got this as a gift, and at first was dubious, thinking that I going to the supermarket and getting them to print my pictures would provide better results. I was wrong. This printer is amazing and as a result I have covered my walls in amazing A3...

Canon A3+ printer IX6550

 

This the first time I have purchased a Canon printer having been a user of Epson products for 19 years. Changed to Canon on this occasion because Epson did'nt have A3+ printer to suit my pocket. I am delighted with the IX6550 - it is basic but it does...
