Canon PIXMA G650 Wireless 3-in-1 Refillable MegaTank Inkjet Photo Printer - A4, Print, Copy, Scan - Wi-Fi, Cloud connectivity, LCD Screen - Suitable for large volume printing photos

My previous printer was a Canon 5 cartridge variety which I thought was quite good. Then I bought this one because I wanted to sell A4 prints to collectors.Very well packed into its box, easy to get out with the ink bottles in a separate one at the back. Easy to wire up just used the old mains and USB cable from my other printer.Filling it was easy and I read that you can top the tanks up with new bottles and it will 'switch' a bottle off when full so no danger of overflow!The prints are superb my old printer was not even in the same street. Super colour rendered detail such as I've never seen even on a print house one. What amazed me first was a black and white print of some woodland with a small part of the image in the distance and faintly visible on screen as very light grey and there it was on the print so lightly done that I didn't notice it for some time.Then tried another black and white image and coloured it slightly Yellow and Red and lowered the saturation so there was just the faintest glimmer of colour on my screen .... held my breath and printed a test strip on some A4 paper I was totally astonished that it printed it perfectly.Worth every penny and with the bonus that the ink will last for ages.Cheers

This printer’s awesome for great photos. Six inks make colors pop and blacks look smooth - megatank means fewer trips buying ink - wireless so you can print from your phone no stress - small but does printing scanning copying no problem - not super fast and you have to flip pages for double-sided but still an amazing buy.

I bought this because the reviews claimed it makes better colour print copies than others. I found this to be true and I'm very pleased with the print quality. The software is pretty dreadful. Canon make their software so unnecessarily difficult. The instructions go off the screen because the the image designers want lots of white space on the screen. It doesn't tell you where it hides your scans. There are so few characters in the one line display it's not obvious what to do to scan. There is no point in this 10 or so character display as there is all the screen area needed on the computer screen. Why not just have a button labelled scan, one labelled photocopy and one labelled restart for after you have added paper. It is much better than my previous canon printer which had to be sent away to be repaired twice. A very expensive exercise as they are big and heavy with no guarantee they can be economically repaired. After the second breakdown I threw it away and bought this one. It's hard to see how much ink is in the tanks without a torch. Why not have a white LED behind each tank.

My old printer packed up ink absorber full, it was a ink tank Canon printer 5 or 6 years old.CONNECTION:The Pixma G650 so easy to install. I have no CD rom now, and computer is windows 11. You go to a web site to download. I was worried as once inks in bit difficult if have to send back. Need not have worried couldn't be easier. Connected to my router very quick, ( I have fibre broadband with sky), Connected to computer easily. A lot easier than when I last had to do this.SCANNER: works great just had to re enter (as it installs a new, but similar IJ scan utility piece of software), where I wanted scans to go to. You may want to make a note of your old settings, I nearly always use the ScanGear button on the software.INKS: Vibrant colours. Ink tanks definately cheaper to use than cartridges. Tanks lasted ages in my old canon.CRICUT USERS: It takes 200 GSM card with ease (to be precise Craft Creations 200 GSM cardstock from the Range shop) I tested a 300 GSM went through fine, although don't think you are supposed to put that thickness through. I think I will have to calibrate, again, via my cricut for the print and cut on cricut. No biggy.The user replaceable print heads and maintenance tank (which I believe is to do with the ink absorber) being replaceable is great. As far as I can see this part is about £9. The printer heads are about £44 each, there is a left and right one. The print heads are easy to put in. PS no usb supplied, didn't need it though set via wi fi. I'm not a computer whizz am an OAP so if i can set up so can anyone. I love it.

I am yet to find a printer that actually works for what i need it to do. I have only had this one for a month, it will not feed the photo paper through, i have to ask it for each and every page to print. I had not had a cannon so i thought i wouod give it a go but yet again i know have to go amd pack it up to send it back !!!i f anyone has had a great photo paper printer please god let me know....

Having being fleeced like most for years using toner cartridges that have internal bags with tiny amounts of ink, I purchased this printer as my go to daily printer after hearing some very good reviews from family and friends about it.I have also experimented with several photographic papers in this printer and have been impressed with the results so far (albeit that this not the price point printer to expect great black and white prints).Unfortunately you have less control over this printer if you are an Apple user, as the air print driver is limited in its capabilities compared to the Windows software and drivers that are available from Microsoft.But if all you need this for is printing off some family pics and general everyday things, then this is a very practical and cheaper route to follow, with some impressive results for its price range.If you are a serious photographer expecting great black and white print capabilities, then this probably isn’t the printer for you, and the Canon Pro 200 or Pro 300 are probably a much better option, albeit well over twice the price. So then you will need to factor in the cost of the ink and A3 paper, but the print quality and speed will ultimately be what you are paying much more for.Haven’t used the copying or scanning function on this printer yet, so cannot comment on those functions.
