Canon Pixma MG6150 Printer Description

The Canon Pixma MG6150 offers advanced media handling with a two-way paper feed that can accommodate different paper types at the same time.

Additionally, you can print directly onto compatible DVDs, Blu-ray discs and CD-ROMs.

Thanks to Canon’s FINE technology, the MG6150 can deliver a print resolution of 9600 x 2400dpi for detailed photographs and clear text documents. There is also an impressive print speed to match that print quality with speeds of 12.5ipm for mono documents and 9.3ipm for colour. In the case of photo prints, a 10 x 15cm photo will be produced in approximately 20 seconds.

An Intelligent Touch System allows for an enhanced user experience. Rather than needing to press buttons to navigate through the printer’s functions, users can instead utilise the light guided 7.5cm screen.

For Canon digital camera owners, the Pixma MG6150 has the Full HD Movie Print feature which allows you to pause and capture frames in your digital movies before using enhancement technology to produce a high quality photo print.

Another feature users will appreciate is Easy-WebPrint EX that lets you clip information from a number of web pages before piecing it all together on one page.

Canon Pixma MG6150 Expert Review

The Canon Pixma MG6150 All-in-One Colour Photo Printer is a high quality printer, scanner and copy machine designed for those who need to print photo lab quality images or who do a lot of monthly printing.

It features the Canon Intelligent Touch System for printing without an attached PC or from different online storage clouds. This system makes it very easy to print. The 7.5cm full colour touchscreen provides informative messages and makes it easy to tell which buttons to press for which functions.

The printer itself prints amazing photos at a stunning 9600 by 2400dpi. It uses Canon’s FINE print engine to make the most out of every small drop of ink. The printer uses six different inks, including three colours, one photo black, one standard black (for documents) and one grey cartridge to prevent draining the blacks. The printer prints 12.5 monochrome pages per minute and 9.3 full colour pages per minute, and it prints borderless 10 by 15cm photos in about 20 seconds. Users can also print images directly from HD videos via Full HD Movie Print.

The Wi-Fi on the MG6150 is very fast thanks to the built-in 150 Mbps modem. The Canon Easy-Photo Print App lets users print directly from their smartphones and tablets; the printer can even print from the PlayStation 3 video game console.
