Pixma MG6650 is a fairly compact all-in-one Canon printer. The Canon Pixma MG6650 has extra canon-compatible ink cartridges for printing. Canon Pixma printer fast, high-quality color prints, you’ve come to the right place with the MG6650. It provides excellent print quality and prints a 10×15 photo on photo paper in 51 seconds.

Pixma MG6650

If you need fast, high-quality color prints, the Pixma MG6650 is the right choice: the multifunction device prints with five inks. In addition to the four usual canon Pixma ink cartridges (cyan, magenta, yellow and black). It also has an additional black cartridge with pigment ink. This ensured excellent color print quality in the test. The Pixma was pretty fast, putting a 10×15 photo on photo paper in 51 seconds. Too bad: The print quality drops slightly in black and white. The Pixma MG6650 is one of the tougher devices. Low noise mode can be set about a third slower.

Although it needs one cartridge more than most of its competitors. Canon Pixma printer compatible Canon ink cartridges. If you mainly print in black and white, you can stick with standard cartridges. Not a matter of course with an inexpensive multifunction printer. The Canon Pixma MG6650 prints on both sides of the paper if desired – as with the Canon Pixma printer, you have to take the normal paper out of the paper tray when printing photos – an extra tray for the photo paper would simply be more practical.

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 We blame its ancestor for its somewhat outdated and unintuitive interface.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.
