Canon PIXMA iP6310D Ink Cartridges

In comparison to other cost-efficient personal photo printers, the Canon PIXMA iP6310D doesn't have the best bundle of features, but it does benefit from lab-quality output and a decent software suite. One of the iP6310D's setbacks is its slow speeds, taking up to a minute to print a 4x6-inch photo and nearly 2 minutes to print an 8x10-inch photo. Users don't need to spend much more to obtain an inkjet device with greater flexibility and quicker speeds, but those who are satisfied with simplicity, affordable PIXMA iP6310D printer ink and solid output may find a use for this device.

The iP6310D's build of 17x6x10 inches includes a limited range of on-board control tools, featuring a front panel with a two-line monochrome LCD, two task keys, a Save button to save files from a media card, and a button to launch the unit's Canon Easy-PhotoPrint software. This software works in conjunction with the media card slots, enabling users to make quick edits to images before they print them. Additional connectivity includes a PictBridge-enabled port, a wired USB port for connecting straight to a computer and an optional Bluetooth adapter that enables wireless printing from compatible cameras and phones.

One of the issues experts found with the iP6310D is its limited paper handling, which includes a single flimsy tray that folds out near the rear of the device and can only hold 20 pages of media at once. The unit can support standard 8.5x14-inch plain paper, as well as glossy photo and matte photo with a size of 4x6 inches and 4x8 inches. Using specialty glossy photo media can help the quality of images, which tests revealed print with satisfactory color detail and a resolution of 4800x1200 dpi using Canon iP6310D printer ink.

The device operates with a two-supply and six-color PIXMA iP6310D ink system, one containing regular colors and the other photo colors. The color Canon iP6310D ink cartridge has a standard yield of 100 pages, but it can be replaced with a high-capacity supply that can last 300 pages. The color photo Canon iP6310D ink cartridge has a maximum capacity of up to 710 pages.

This inexpensive inkjet printer isn't without its flaws, providing users with a minimal media input, printing photos at poor speeds and with lackluster quality. The printer does have some highlights such as its versatile connectivity to enable computer-free use, but overall it doesn't have enough to offer to make it stand out among other entry-level photo devices.
