Canon Pixma iX6820 Wireless Business Printer with AirPrint and Cloud Compatible, Black

Keep in mind this is a speciality printer for wide prints and not an office printer or mass production printer. It's Great for CAD prints, Graphic Designers and photographers to print wide and long at a reasonable price.I have price all the wide 13” printer brands and looked at all the reviews. There are not many out there to print up to 13” and print custom length size like from a roll of paper for banners. The ones that are out there are ridiculously priced so much so they are a rip-off and on top of that everybody has problems with ink jets getting clogged eventually. So no way did I want to spend 8hundred to 1k for a wide 13” ink jet that may not work later because of clogged problems and just in general unreliable prints at some point.This Wide Canon printer has worked out very well for me and I am very happy with its prints, ink lasting and function. Especially for this remarkable price, even if it only last a few years the price is reasonable as a disposable printer and buy another after a few years, we hope not but have no problem comprehending it since the price is reasonable to see how it goes.I really needed the custom length size with wide format 13”... I can print as long of paper as I want. The only one other company that offers custom length size for a 13 wide printer wants 1k for their version.I was worried about ink lasting so I wanted this printer to have the ink tanks instead of cartridges, then I figured the price was so reasonable that I gave it a try anyways. I haven’t had a problem with wasted ink or cleaning heads a million times to get good prints like you know who...Eps0n.This is my 1st Canon ink jet and I can say they have it better engineered then eps0n does so ink does not get wasted. I saw that right away just looking at the cartridges and seeing how they have accomplished their engineering of inkjet cartridges. Not knowing what to expect I did purchase the 3rd party reusable fill cartridges to fill the ink myself but I haven’t had to use them yet so that’s good. Keep in mind I only use this printer to print large line art banners and not large photos.My old Eps0n wide printer that I paid over 5hundred for many years ago is going in the garbage now which I had nothing but problems with the print heads and ink wasting.I LOVE this Cannon printer and I will no longer use Eps0n wide printers.UPDATE: Printing wide and long paper for custom size must be inputted to 12.95” wide to any length for 13” wide paper or it won’t work right. Also if you find the larger paper jumps too much when the printer grabs it and makes it jam... the fix is to put a stack of paper behind it to bring it closer to the front so it doesn't jump. Another words keep it full for large paper feeds. Over all still happy with it for the price.

I had to write a review of this printer even though I've only had it a week, because I am so impressed by the print quality. I am branching out into selling my artwork as greeting cards and needed something to replace my diabolical Epson WF-3640 printer/scanner combo. To be clear, I was only looking to purchase a printer, as the scanner on my Epson is ok. I wasted hundreds of dollars in time and on ink cartridges trying to work with the printer on it over the past 18 months, and finally gave in. It is AWFUL and I will never buy another Epson printer. I took the plunge on this Canon Pixma iX6820 because it received decent reviews in the art world, and on Amazon. I had my eye on other Canon printers, but couldn't spend more than $150 so this fit the budget.INSTALLATION: Relatively easy. I had to download the setup files twice before I was able to run the programs, but once installed, it was an hour tops.WIFI CONNECTIVITY: Not so easy. Still haven't gotten that sorted out. It would be nice if I had wifi connectivity, but as my printer is located right next to my computer, it's not a dealbreaker to me if I don't have this feature. I've never had luck with any printer and wifi connectivity, to be fair.PRINT QUALITY: Surprisingly good. I am still fine tuning the ideal print settings, as I work mainly in watercolor, pen & ink. Watercolor is challenging to reproduce accurately. That said, I've already printed higher quality, more color-accurate prints on PLAIN COPY PAPER using this printer, than I ever did using very expensive photo paper in the Epson.EASE OF USE: I have not used the My Photo Garden or whatever it's called yet, and you are not required to use it when printing. It's just an additional print formatting option. I have had no trouble printing from Photoshop directly, from PDF, or from my default Windows Photo Viewer.INK USAGE: Can't really tell yet, as it's only been a week, but the cartridges that came in the box were easy to install (not messy or difficult like I read in some reviews) and still show full levels after about 15 high quality full-page prints have been made, plus various smaller proofs.I will update this review if anything changes.UPDATE 1 MONTH LATER: I am still impressed. Ink cartridge life is great compared to my old Epson. The only 2 issues I have are: it is a pretty slow printer. Takes about 15 minutes to print 25 full color "photo setting" 8.5x11 documents. However, it is quiet, and the quality is gorgeous. The other issue is that it still doesn't work to connect wirelessly. Since my computer is always next to the printer, it's not a big issue for me, but for those who must have wireless print capability, plan to spend some time with tech support if installation doesn't go smoothly on our own. I haven't gotten around to it yet.
