About this deal

With the print heads being installed as part of the setup process, they can be out of alignment very slightly. This is corrected/adjusted by running a print head alignment, which will use two sheets of A4 paper. It’s an automatic process and should not need running again unless you need to change the print heads.

My print results suggest it does. The profiles are also maybe dependent on the version of MacOS in use. I have quite old kit, which is unlikely to change any time soon, but some tests from people who have tried the profiles suggests they may be of use to Mac users in general. If you have a paper similar to one of those here and are using a Mac, one of my profiles may well work for you. Profiles created for my G550 printer review (Mac only!) The Canon PIXMA G550 A4 Colour Inkjet Printer is compatible with a great selection of paper types. Handling paper up to A4 in size, you can print on mediums including card and envelopes, offering you a flexible solution to all of your printing requirements. Whether you want to print stunning high definition pictures on the finest glossy photo paper, or you need to produce a selection of business cards to hand out at events, this printer offers the quality you need to make the best first impression. Stunning colour profiles I always suggest using such images when testing new papers, rather than your own favourite photos. If you can print an image you like the quality of, from these, then it makes refining the printing of your own work so much easier.Printer Features: Easy-PhotoPrint Editor Software 14PIXMA Cloud Link (print – from smartphone or tablet only) 15 I’ve tested several papers and in every case, the B&W results from using one of my ‘Mac profiles’ is better – I suspect this would be the case with Windows as well…

Well, partly it was a challenge to see just what I could produce with this little printer. With its extra grey and red inks, what could I get from it? 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. Whether you're running a photo kiosk, a portrait studio or a graphic design bureau, high image quality and low printing costs are important to your business. The latest Canon PIXMA MegaTank printers – the PIXMA G650 and PIXMA G550 – can produce detailed prints that last a lifetime. The money you can save thanks to their impressive ink yields will be as attractive as the prints themselves. Find out how much you spend on printing with our calculator.

Much as I’d love to give an ‘approved’ list of papers for B&W, I can’t. I get a steady stream of people from the US asking if paper X or Y is OK? Sorry, I’m in the UK and only get to test papers available here – even then, some companies have never asked me to look at their papers and especially in current times I can’t afford to buy rolls/boxes of expensive paper on a whim…A4, A5, B5,A6, LTR, LGL, 4″” x 6″” (10x15cm), 5″” x 7″” (13x18cm), 7″” x 10″” (18x25cm), 8″” x 10″” (20x25cm), Square 5″” x 5″” (127mm x 127mm), Square 3.5″” x 3.5″” (89 mm x 89 mm), Card Size 55mm x 91 mm (2.17″”x3.58″”)Envelopes(DL, COM10, C5, Monarch), Custom paper sizes

Take note of the service valve. This lever seems to compress the ink tubing and is used for stopping ink syphoning through when replacing heads or transporting the printer. If you’re going to print very often, then think very carefully about ensuring smooth paper feeding – use high print quality too, since the faster mode is more jerky in its feed and that is more likely to give issues with the mass/inertia of big long sheets. Greeting cards In printing one of Karen’s iPhone photos, the image looked reasonable, but after importing it into Photoshop and editing on a colour managed system, and printing with one of my profiles, the results were a lot better.The printer does have an inbuilt web server, which makes several tasks easier than using the small LCD. Of course I guess people printing directly from a phone are not concerned with this. High quality photography and printing is my job, so I am… just bear that in mind if you think I’m being a little critical in some areas ;-) Choosing papers You do need to tell the printer when tanks are full – it has no way of measuring the amount of ink in a tank. With larger printers I’ve often found that using the very highest quality settings does very little for image quality. You just get slower printing. Photo print speed is based on default driver setting using ISO/JIS-SCID N2 standard on Canon Photo Paper Plus Glossy II and does not take into account data processing time on host computer.
