Canon - PIXMA iX6820 Wireless Inkjet Printer - Black

Melissa, the department manager (amazing, knowledgeable, upbeat), showed us photos made with the printer and we were very impressed. I bought one for my office at school and liked it so much, we went back and bought another one for home use!

I have had other printers before but this one has gone beyond my expectations and just loving it.

After many years of buying Epson or HP printers, I finally tried a Canon iP5000. I LOVED it. When it died abruptly, I was up the proverbial creek. I tried to go inexpensive and bought a Canon iP7220. I do NOT need or want an "all-in-one" but I do want/need a printer that, on occasion, can do a quality photo. The iP7220 would NOT print an envelope correctly no matter what I tried; it also has other failings like a tiny paper drawer. I returned it and bought this model at approximately 2.5 x the cost. The iX6820 has the rear paper feed that I prefer and will hold, I think, up to 250 sheets in reserve. I am TROUBLED by the way you print envelopes, but it appears to be fairly standard these days. You must REMOVE all the paper in the feed slot. Insert the envelope in the feeder more or less centered. MOVE the paper alignment holders to center the envelope and print. THEN you must realign the paper guides and reload your regular paper. WHAT A PIA! Once we got the printer installed on my wife's laptop and signed into our house wifi (this took a bit of doing), it works beautifully in wireless mode! I can't tell if this one sucks up ink quite yet. I will revise my review when I have some observations on that subject. I understand that this printer WILL accommodate 11x14 or larger photo paper. That is an exciting possibility! Note that this printer has a large footprint.

I heard a lot of good things about this printer, and guess what, they're all true!

I've only had this for a couple weeks, but so far I'm very happy. I print inject decals for my business, so it's important to have the crispest images and the truest colors I can get. My previous printer was an Epson, but on recommendation from a photographer friend I opted for a Canon PIXMA. I love the wider format and the fact that I have fewer ink cartridge colors to buy.

I purchased the printer because I needed an inkjet printer with high definition prints that printed in larger formats than 8 1/2 x 11. This machine does 14 x 19.. which is the largest I could find at the time. I use the printer to make High Quality Photographic Negatives for Contact Exposures for Ageotype, Ambrotype, Cyanotype, Platinum, and Carbon Transfer Printing of photos. It does pretty good.. but I'd prefer that it allow hi def printing at the larger print sizes. It also drinks thru the cartridges like a two fisted drinker at a bar. Two complete sets of new cartridges costs as much as the printer.. I've been living at Cartridge World as the six cartridges the machine comes with are half filled. I'd love for a printer to be made that you can fill with ink like the commercial models.

great printer once it was set up. set up was a bit challenging but once done i couldn't be happier, i printing on 110lb card stock and it works perfectly. now i only print 1 page at a time. i dont want to take a chance of causing a jam. oh i have an hp7100 series and this printer is better, but i cant use it for copying but hp software stinks so for printing canon way to go.

This printer was an excellent choice! I was looking for a printer that would print up to 11x14 size. Be advised that this printer is large. It does take up a lot of desk real estate. Most images of the printer just show a picture coming out of the printer in a folded up state. By the time you open up the feeder guides and the catch tray, a lot of room is needed. I know some will miss having a small lcd operating panel on the printer, but you get used to working with the software on your computer or device. I wanted a dependable, high quality photo printer and that is what this printer is.
