An economical machine, the Canon Pixma MG5550 uses five single inks meaning that you only need to change the colour that runs out and therefore will improve efficiency. Delivering a print resolution of up to 4800dpi, these inks will to produce sharp text and images in great detail.
That high efficiency is reflected in the machine’s print speeds with the MG5550 having a rapid ISO ESAT A4 document print speed of 12.2ipm mono and 8.7ipm colour.

Despite not benefitting from a touchscreen display, the MG5550 is still a relatively modern machine and retains the same design traits which have made the Pixma range so popular with consumers.
It is perhaps in its connectivity where the device excels. “Print photos in seconds from Facebook, Twitter and online albums like CANON iMAGE GATEWAY and Picasa or print documents from cloud services like Evernote and Dropbox directly from the printer screen,” says Canon.
