Of course I guess people printing directly from a phone are not concerned with this. High quality photography and printing is my job, so I am… just bear that in mind if you think I’m being a little critical in some areas ;-) Choosing papers Where special offers provided by Printerland and/or the manufacturer applies, the competitor must also be providing the same offer/s for the A4, A5, B5, A6, LTR, LGL, 4" x 6" (10x15cm), 5" x 7" (13x18cm), 7" x 10" (18x25cm), 8" x 10" (20x25cm), Square 5" x 5" (127mm x 127mm), Square 3.5" x 3.5" (89 mm x 89 mm), Card Size 55mm x 91 mm (2.17”x3.58”). Envelopes(DL, COM10, C5, Monarch). It’s also important to try some known good test images, to get a feel for if your print process/workflow is working OK Quite a few people have asked just why I’d look at such a low-end printer, given the sort of photo printing I do? Why bother with a G550 printer review?It really is quite a simple process and many paper suppliers (here in the UK) will even make you profiles if you buy some paper.

What are Canon MegaTank Printers?

The dye based inks are the older Chromalife 100 inks, not the Chromalife 100+ inks found in the PRO-200 I reviewed a while ago – they are not archival enough for work I’d sell. It was at this point I seriously considered cutting testing short, since AirPrint allows for no real colour management. No use of ICC printer profiles – something I consider essential for effective use of Canon and non-Canon papers. I’ve selected my profile to use here. If you don’t have a profile, then it’s set to ‘printer manages colour’ giving you the colour management roulette of AirPrint. The essence of high quality photo printing is sound colour management, right through editing and calibration of your monitor to using the right profiles and media settings for your prints. Making profiles – Mac or PC?

Without a proper printer driver for the Mac, this is bound to be a little experimental, but results showed it could work.

Dimensions (W x D x H): approx. 445 x 340 x 136mm (trays retracted)approx. 445 x 564 x 249mm (trays extended)There’s the obvious consumer photo printer market – people who just want to print their photos and do it more cheaply than using a lab. For this it mostly works. It’s particularly good in its handling of small print sizes, where it’s fast enough and will churn out a lot of snaps to hand round.
