We followed the instructions to the appropriate website to download the software but got nothing but 502 errors and garbled text. However, we discovered that the the iX6820 required additional software. We had previously set up the Canon Pixma TS9120 and the process was swift and easy, and since we already had Canon’s software on our test machine we expected an expedited installation process. During our testing phase, we had the hardware side of setup finished in about 25 minutes.īut when it came to installing software and connecting it to the network, we struggled mightily. Even if you’re not tech savvy, you should be able to set it up with few problems. The included instructions are picture-based with minimal text, and very easy to follow. If all goes well, you should be able to have this printer setup and running within an hour of opening the box. Lifewire / Jeffrey Daniel Chadwick Setup Process: Quick and simple if Canon’s website is functional This may seem like a small thing, since double-sided printing takes much longer and doesn’t reduce ink usage, but it does save on paper cost. Other printers we tested have spacious touch screens that allow you to access and use the printer’s functions without even turning on a computer or mobile device.Īnother feature this wireless printer lacks is duplex printing, the ability to print documents on both sides of a sheet of paper. It also means that you’re dependent on a computer to use it. This means that you’re essentially flying blind when it comes to things like setup, paper or carriage jams, or any other errors. One thing that makes this AirPrint printer somewhat frustrating to use is the lack of any type of display. Other Canon printers we tested have an additional “Photo Blue” color for added quality, but that’s absent from the Pixma iX6820. In addition to individual tanks, Canon also includes a second black cartridge called “Pigment Black.” This is aimed at not only giving you enough black reserves to handle both text-based documents and photos, but also to make the black in the photos as dark and true to your digital pictures as possible. With this model, you can just get the cyan cartridge and save cash and ink. For example, if you’re printing photos that drain cyan much faster than yellow and magenta, you’d have to pay full price for a new tri-color cartridge, even though your reserves on the other colors are nearly full. This is a great advantage because it means you can change out particular colors as they run out. The Pixma iX6820 uses five individual color ink cartridges instead of the traditional black and tri-color cartridges. It also prints to standard letter and legal papers, as well also U.S. The feeder can hold up to 150 sheets and is compatible with 4圆, 5x7, 8x10, 11x17 and 13x19 paper. It draws paper from a single source, the top feeder. ![]() ![]() Color, text, and graphics were bold and smooth, and there was no hint of print lines or uneven ink.
