Costumer Reviews

I've had the Epson WorkForce 1100 Color Inkjet Wide Format Printer for more than a year, and used it for demanding large-format jobs like book covers and art prints. I thought I was happy with it, until I tried the canon Pixma iX6520.

For comparison, we printed a 13"x18" art print on expensive matte stock. The art has many dark brown and pure black sections. The Epson does a very good job with the blacks, and like I say, we were always happy. However, the Canon correctly reproduces many more subtle shades of dark brown than the Epson, to the point where the Epson prints now appear muddy to us. The blacks are delicious as well and subtly different on the Canon. This probably due to the fact that the Canon uses two different Black cartridges simultaneously, one dye-based and one pigment-based. Whatever the reason, the blacks are pure and clear.

We generally print using the highest quality, lowest speed settings. The Epson is slow in this mode, taking over four minutes per print. The Canon is faster, taking under three minutes. This is very dependent on print driver settings, and note that the Canon and Epson drivers do not have identical settings for a perfect comparison, so your mileage may vary. We printed directly from Photoshop CS5 on a Mac.

Unfortunately, no third party companies make continuous print systems for the Canon, like they do for the Epson. Maybe they will soon.

Update: After another couple of months, an observation: The extra black ink cartridge on the Pixma makes a huge difference. It's a different kind of ink that is used for super black text and graphics. Didn't notice this at first, but now that we've got more samples to compare with other ink jets, the difference is real. Well done, Canon.

Although a dyed-in-the-wool HP advocate, I recently received the CANON PIXMA color inkjet printer and I am quite pleased with it.

A basic, no-frills piece, it does not have the now popular LED screen. Frankly, that screen adds little - if anything - to the product. It is a "quaint" feature but not a make-or-break deal and the PIXMA iX6520 does not need it to prove itself more than fit for the job.

Set up is extremely basic and easy. The instructions are clear and "goof proof". Canon has thoughtfully provided the user with ink cartridges. Naturally, following the norm of the day, they do not throw in a USB cable so be aware of this when you purchase the PIXMA iSX6520.

The machine operates quietly and extremely fast. The colors are not quite as good as you find on most basic HP products but they do manage to hold their own in the long run. Additionally, the unit gets bonus points for not shaking or rattling.

In short, the PIXMA iX6520 inkjet is a very good (and modestly priced) printer.
