Pixma MG6650 Features
The Canon Pixma MG6650 is a 3-in-1 inkjet printer from Canon Pixma Printers compatible with canon ink cartridges. This is a high-end model, clearly photography-oriented with 5 separate cartridges. The Canon MG6650 also features a touch screen, Wi-Fi, and NFC. If the general line remains the same as the MG6650 there are some minor changes. We blame its ancestor for its somewhat outdated and unintuitive interface. Canon has revised the copy and now offers a touchscreen while retaining the physical buttons. A combination that could work if the touchscreen wasn’t too painful. Scrolling through the menus is quite tiring. We often select unwanted options by sliding our finger on the touch surface.
The paper tray retains its low capacity of 100 A4 sheets and its handling remains just as impractical. The MG6650 incorporates an SD and MS Pro Duo card reader for fast photo printing. Direct Wi-Fi is part of it – we often miss it on the technical sheet since Canon has chosen to call it “access point mode”. NFC functions for easier use on mobile devices and tablets. The print quality on plain paper is quite good, but with slightly visible drops and quite saturated colors. However, we appreciate the good general level for a printer of this range. If there is one point that Canon maintains at an excellent level, it is photography. Pixma printers are also sold by their manufacturer more as photo printers than office automation. The photos are well-detailed, the drops are almost invisible and the blacks are deep.
