Canon Pixma MG6120

[pcb2x]

Bought this printer about 6 months ago but haven't had a chance to use it until recently.

Pro:
nice photo reproduction, good colour etc. Excellent for amateur.

BIG Cons:
1) Unable to print 4" X 6" photos from Gimp (that's big in my world). Must save photo in jpeg format (probably other formats can be used) then use other Windows program to print. It's a hassle.
2) Printer ink cartridge set comes with 5 colours for around $60.00 to $70.00 (I'm in Canada where everyting is more expensive for no discernable reason). The catch is no Gray cartridge! without which printer will not run. Single Gray cartridge cost me $20.00! Doubtless ink can be bought for less but still ------.

Recommendation: Buy something else.

Hi,

Have you tried it replacement Pixma MG8120. It is much better than the 6120. The MG8120 includes Canon's new Movie frame printing function built into Easy-PhotoPrint. The new tool makes it easy to find a Canon-captured movie frame to print, automatically enhancing the image for printing as a still.

The MG8120 also features a transparency unit for scanning strips of 35mm negatives and slides. Which can immediately be printed as photos in as little as 20 seconds for a 4x6 print.

The six-color ink system with individual cartridges for each color includes five dye-based inks including a dedicated gray ink tank for black and white photos. The pigment black is used for text.

The WiFi MG8120 can also print iPhone and Android images wirelessly using a free Canon app. Other connections include built-in Ethernet, a memory card reader, Hi-Speed USB port and a PictBridge port that can, with an optional adapter, communicate via Bluetooth.

And, of course, you get Canon's built-in duplex printing (except with borderless pages), auto-document fix and auto scan mode.

The duplex feature is just one of the several ways the MG8120 represents Canon's Generation Green program. Other ways the MG8120 goes green include being able to print as many as four pages on one side, individual ink tanks (and cartridge recycling), the white LED that requires no warm-up time, the energy efficient Quick Start feature, the restricted use of hazardous materials, Canon's hardware recycling program plus its own refurbishing program.
