Canon MAXIFY GX6150

With the Canon MAXIFY printer, the ink reservoirs and the clear touchscreen stand out. I can see at a glance how much ink is in the tanks. I can easily select the scan and copy function on the touchscreen.

Ink Level I don't trust the ink warnings and that's why the 4 ink tanks with this printer are nice. They are on the front so I can see how much ink is left at any time. I've always used cartridges until now, but refilling the ink with ink bottles is much easier. Place the ink bottles separately from each other on the 4 attachments and the ink automatically flows into the reservoirs. All this without spilling. Canon promises to print thousands of pages before refilling the ink. After printing 500 pages I saw that the ink level was still the same. I was skeptical at first, but now I do believe in the number of prints.

User friendly I only find a printer user-friendly if it is easy to install and you quickly understand how it works. I go through all the steps and connect the printer to WiFi. I have fairly large hands, so it's nice that the touchscreen is large. I quickly give a print job via the handy menu. This is sometimes different with other printers. The wireless printing options are also nice. Printing via Apple AirPrint and the Canon PRINT app is smooth.

Experience There are many options on the printer. The software on the control panel is clear and the Canon PRINT app is also well-arranged. You can make prints or scan images from the app. Handy for receipts in the administration. The ADF function is ideal if you regularly scan or copy large stacks of paper. The paper tray has room for 250 A4 pages. I put a stack of 50 pages in the input tray at the top and the printer copies all pages automatically. The print quality of the texts is fine, but photos are a bit flat with the default settings. At high settings, the quality is better, but a printout also takes a lot longer. The printer is not the fastest anyway. The printer took over 60 seconds to print 10 black and white pages. The speed is slightly slower when printing on both sides. Printing a photo directly from your computer takes about 30 seconds with default settings. If you make a scan via the Canon app and print it out, the print is ready in 15 seconds

Conclusion This printer is ideal for the home office. Due to the small dimensions, the printer does not quickly get in the way. With the ADF function, you can easily scan or copy large stacks of paper in one go. Due to the large paper tray, you don't often replenish the stock and the ink reservoirs offer a lot of convenience. Because you use colors, your reports are clear and your graphs are easier to read, but the quality is too poor for photos with many color nuances. The print speed is not very high.

I've really had all types of printers available, HP with cartridges, Oki LED printer, Brother laser printer, Epson ink tank printer, but this Canon is head and shoulders above it. Cartridges dry out quickly. The toners for laser printers are dying. With this printer, you get enough ink for years upon delivery and no dried out printheads.

My last printer was the Epson ET2550, ecotank. I can give this one a pass, print quality so-so, slow printing but it worked. After reporting "replace ink pads" (bring printer to Epson + the necessary costs) decided to purchase another printer. Hesitated for a long time for an Epson ET-4850, but finally opted for the Canon Maxifiy GX6050 because of the positive reviews on Coolblue.

What a device, fast, excellent print quality, top scanning. A bit special looking but it certainly doesn't look out of place. With its rounded corners, it is a somewhat playful device. May also be, better than those boring, black boxes... The screen on the front is large enough, clear and the software provides clear instructions. After connecting, my desktop found the drivers itself. Piece of cake. Network connection ideal for multiple users. Also not unimportant, here you can replace the ink pads yourself! No intervention from Canon necessary!

Conclusion, SUPER device and it never ceases to amaze me that a manufacturer can make this technology work so perfectly in a compact device.

Order via Coolblue perfectly fine. Perhaps a bit more expensive than other online shops, but the Coolblue website provides so much information + reviews that I am happy to pay this bit extra.

I am now done with expensive ink practices from HP. Canon is much fairer and product is much more user-friendly.
