Canon - PIXMA G660 MegaTank

That could be the Canon Pixma G650, or G550 if you just want a pure printer (US versions G620, G520). 6 coloured ink tanks for quality, user replaceable printheads and chipped waste ink cartridge for reliability and bottled cheap OEM ink for low costs in the long run unlike those costly cartridges. Great if you just print up to A4 size. Obviously, don't leave a liquid ink jet printer unused for too long. Let's say 1 week at max. If you live somewhere humid, maybe even 2 weeks

Pixma G650 if you need the absolute best quality with cheap ink

If you print at least once a week, a Canon Pixma G620 could be a good option. Uses ink tanks which lasts thousands of pages per bottle refill. Canon Print app is very intuitive as well. It's more of a photo/art printer, tho. So it will give perfect quality, but not so great for document printing Or if you want a good mixture between photos and documents, then a Canon G3270 or G4270 (or G4280 if you want a bigger screen). Uses pigment ink unlike the G620, so very good for documents but still good for photos.

Exactly as mentioned above; - CP1500 is perfect for 10x15 prints and it is cheap to run. approx 0.33€/print - G550 or G650 are a great option if you don’t want to deal with any cartridge printers as they both work work bottled ink - PRO-1100 seems overkill in this scenario, it prints up to A2 - PRO-200S or PRO-310 are better option as they give you more control over your prints with more colors to work with. Or if you find a PRO-300 on the cheap. Go for that. They are both cartridge printers. The cost of running is higher the a G650 but you do get better color reproduction. I hope this helps!

I am happy with my Canon g650! It does an amazing job for the price. It's so rewarding to print photos and hang them to the wall, door, fridge, whiteboard, everywhere!

Already have one of those :)

I have a selphy 1300 (second hand for less than £50) which is identical (as far as prints are concerned)to the 1500 without some os and screen features. I also have a canon g650 A4 printer The selphy is brilliant for postcards, photos for the fridge etc... I have a memory scrap book which I use those photos. Quality is ok, it's fun. Requires a bit of altering of the settings to get colours right. The PIXMA g650 is for my "art" prints. Quality is phenomenal and the detail is another level. With some satin paper, I adore the prints and they really look "wow". Both have their use.

The pro 200 has a built in head. It may be easier to get to than in an ink tank printer but replacements are expensive. Among the three the g620 will likely be the cheapest to do a head replacement on as it uses two smaller cartridges for the printhead so youll only need to replace 3 channels at a time vs the printhead +cartridge/damper for 200 and 8550 where if one channel dies all 6 colors are getting replaced.

Just ordered the G650. :)

Hey. It arrived earlier today and I have done 3 test prints. Far better colour and contrast than what the hp 570 was capable of. I’ll do some more prints this week and let you know my thoughts.  So far, I am happy!

I watched/read reviews stating the Canon is slow; whilst waiting for a print I didn't feel it were much slower than the hp (I will admit, I never measured or looked up the PPM spec for the hp). Setup process was fine though the dot matrix screen and cursor buttons could be better for entering the wifi password. Took me a few seconds to figure how to switch between lower case/upper case and numerals/symbols. I'll test printing a letter or 2 tomorrow to see how it fares for occasional/rare document printing. Far, far more sensible choice than the hp. :)

So I'm going against the grain here. Listen to my points. I am using a Canon G650 now. After a few weeks research that was imho the best option. For the following reasons: 1. It's the cheapest 6 color tank printer 2. Epson has very bad serviceability. Canon is way better in this (which was at the end my deciding factor). It comes down to Epson Tank printers are basically dead when the maintenance cartridge is full, unless you want to fiddle around with questionable workarounds that might not work when you need them 3. Canon has better milage per tank according to tests (Germany) Bonus: one user has suggested 200g photopaper. Which I started with aswell, but I switched to 160g and it's way closer to a real Magic card in thickness (with 80 micron laminate) and is cheaper per 100. My measurements are: Real card 0.32-33, 200g 0.37-38, 160g 0.33-34 Open to questions

I'm researching currently and the clear winner is the Canon PIXMA G620 mega tank printer. I absolutely loved my previous generation tank printer (wore it out after thousands of gorgeous prints). The ink is a lot less expensive when you buy it by the bottle.

I am loving my canon g620 same line I believe.

I just have it on high and am printing through mtgproxyprinter app. Borderless checked in app and printer dialogue settings and zoomed all the way out on page settings. I manually set the printer to high in a few places but cannot remember exactly where I will check later. That app has good quality photos though. Printing on glossy photo paper and picking glossy photo paper 2 with normal setting on high. Slow print speed. If still having issues lmk I can check when I get some time to see what else I tweaked I was trying to get the size right and jiggled a lot of settings. I print right from that app to the print dialogue box btw, no need to make a pdf.
