CanonPIXMA iX6850 Wireless Printer (Black) - Compact, High-Performance Home Printer - Print A3+ Photo-Lab Quality Documents & Photos - Wi-Fi/Ethernet Connectivity - Replaceable 5 Single Ink System

I bought this to replace an ancient HP A3 printer. The installation was faultless. It was extremely easy using the installation CD, despite the opinion of some other reviewers. I can't comment on the photo output, as I use mine for printing large-print church notices, but the document output is excellent. It prints graphics clearly, so I have no reason to expect less from the photo output. Manual duplex printing is handled with ease, and the sheet feeder does not jam or feed double sheets. I'm very impressed with the ease of set-up, build quality and print output. For the low price, I don't think I could have found a better printer! I have used it for a few weeks now, and it's made my weekly print job much easier and quicker. Highly recommended!

I have had this printer before , and I recommended it then and recommend it now .. a great printer ..

The Canon PIXMA iX6850 is an excellent choice for those seeking a reliable A3 printer. Setup was remarkably straightforward, one of the easiest I’ve experienced. The wireless connection was seamless, requiring minimal effort to get up and running.In terms of performance, the print quality is impressive so far. Text is sharp, colors are vibrant, and the overall output meets expectations for both documents and images. Additionally, finding affordable replacement ink is refreshingly simple, with compatible options readily available on Amazon at a reasonable price.However, one notable downside is the misleading product description, which suggests that this printer includes a flatbed scanner, it does not. This was quite disappointing, as I had expected scanning functionality based on the listed specifications. If you require scanning, you will need to look for a separate device.Overall, the PIXMA iX6850 is a solid choice for those who need a high quality printer with affordable ink options. Just be aware that scanning is not included, despite what some descriptions may imply.

I am delighted with my purchase. I did a lot of research ahead of the purchase and decided that I didn't need a multi-purpose printer having two such A4 Canon printers already. Initially I was tempted by an Epson A3 printer, mainly because of customer expectations (I wanted a printer which could be used to print from scanned images of pen & ink and watercolour drawings). Epson have certainly built an enviable reputation for being able to produce long lasting prints. I had to dispense with this idea for two reasons - the Epson equivalent is much more expensive, and Epson are in the process of changing their ink delivery system but unfortunately their new refillable ink tanks haven't made their way to the A3 printers yet. As I couldn't wait to buy my printer, I decided that I would go for the cheaper option, namely this Canon. I am very glad I did. It was easy to set up, although I have not used the wifi option. It prints beautifully on a wide range of papers - I have been printing the pen & ink drawings on Fabiano No5 and the results are just amazing. On top of all that, I have yet to change the ink cartridges which came with the printer! One final word - it is very quiet and amazingly compact.

Are you for real??!! The printer comes with a 2 pin non British plug! Ffs! This printer is as useful as window wipers on a submarine.Edit- I've spent 4 hours Trying to connect it wireless! I have loads of gadgets and never had this problem. After factory reseting my router etc I managed to print via my laptop. After 6 hours - still can't print via my tablet or phone. Don't bother with this printer or Canon products in general. Absolute joke. Just realised you CANT scan with it either. Don't waste your money on this garbage. Update- 14.08.24- I've went and bought an HP office jet pro 9730e. This is miles better and not much dearer. Double sided prints and print from your phone and tablet is a breeze. Canon can go and take a flying you know what....

I've had this printer for about 9 months now, and I am absolutely delighted with it. If you print A3 photos, then you are going to whizz through inks pretty quickly, but third-party inks are both cheap and reliable. (I use these and have been very happy with them. 25 XL ( 5 Sets) Colour Direct Compatible Ink Cartridges Replacement For Canon CLI-551XL/ PGI-550XL - Pixma MG5450 MG5550 MG5650 MG6350 MG6450 MG6650 MX725 MX925 MX725 MG7150 iP7250 Printers)The only issue I have with the printer is that borderless photo prints require special paper, or the paper does not feed through and the printer jams, but that is more to do with me being a skinflint and not buying high quality paper than a limitation of the printer. Print quality is good, but not exceptionally good. It's as good as you'd expect from an inkljet printer, and benefits from high quality photo paper for photographs.Of particular praise is the speed of text printing, it really is surprisingly quick and pleasingly quiet. Obviously it's a fairly large printer, being A3, but it's no bigger than it needs to be, and the front and rear paper guides fold out and away quickly and neatly. I haven't used the wireless printing function of the printer, I've just used a LAN cable, so I can't comment on wireless set-up.Changing ink is quick and easy. The printer keeps you reasonably well informed of in levels, and tells you when an ink is low, and when it needs changing. Changing ink cartridges is quick and easy, simply lift the front panel, wait for the ink rack to be presented to you, the inks are all colour coded and the ink that needs changing will have a flashing LED on it. Remove the old cartridge, drop it carefully into the bin, peel the plastic off the new one and click it into place. Very quick and simple. It is likely worth re-aligning the heads after cartridge changes, but that too is a simple task.I've got no gripes at all with this printer, I particularly love how cheap it is to run with 3rd-party inks. If you want the very last work in print quality, you might need to buy some fancy paper, but laminated poster prints look great. Highly recommended!
