Therefore a printer for me can not cost €600+.Īt the same time it must deliver real quality. If I can't do that, I should simply keep using online printing services. The only way I can justify a photo printer is to offset the costs of online photographic prints. Selling point (or: Who is this printer for) It takes away anxiety to print, and that's a good thing. The tanks contain 60ml of ink, which is 4-8 times as much as cardridge based printers.

The printer comes with a full load (not 50% as some budget printers). If you leave your printer alone, it will dry out. One good way to destroy an inkjet printer is: "That image has a lot of color in it. But look at the price.īy focussing making this a dedicated photo-printer, leaving out the scanner, card reader and duplex unit, Canon can sell this printer for €209. That should lead to better quality ( I did not compare that, btw).

Here is another design choice: Since your documents are printed by your office-printer, pigment-black is swapped for another photo-color (red). Therefore, this printer can be focussed on photo printing. Here the design philosophy is: You want a refillable ink tank printer for photos, but you already have an office printer at home. The Canon printer makes a different choice. The Epson design choice is: A printer with large tanks is going to print a lot, so it must be versatile enough for all your printwork. It comes with a pigment-black ink for documents, a duplex unit and different paper-feeding options. The Epson Ecotank is meant as a complete printer. It is however not a copy, but a unique product. It is obvious this printer was inspired by the Epson Ecotank series, down to the individually keyed ink bottles. The printer presents itself on the network as " Canon G500 Series".

It is also branded as the G620 in other countries. The printer is the same as the Canon Pixma G650 (that model has a scanner and copier function). It offers a couple of design choices which make it interesting for photographers. This is a brief impression of the new Canon Pixma G550 photoprinter.
