Canon MG6120 Printer Review

In terms of home photo inkjet printers, the Canon PIXMA MG6120 is nearly unmatched with its full set of features, intuitive control options and the addition of copy and scan functions. Its speeds are satisfactory considering its intended use for low-volume personal users, printing monochrome documents at a rate of 12 pages per minute, color at a maximum speed of 9 pages per minute, and full-color photos on 4x6 inch paper in as fast as 20 seconds.

It includes Auto Photo Fix software to ensure users can optimize images, a PictBridge port for direct photo printing, and slot to print directly from memory cards without any cables. The large 3 inch LCD and control panel are intended to simplify use, that includes a sensitive touch wheel for navigation and provides regular updates on PIXMA MG6120 printer ink levels and other important information.

The unit has dual 150-sheet input trays that are versatile in the size and type of media they can support, such as specialty photo paper. With the built-in HD Movie print feature, users can print stills from videos as if they were snapshot photos.

The inkjet printer has a good balance of features and output quality, creating text, graphics and photos with dense characters and vibrant color. Photos and graphics finish with a maximum resolution of 9600x2400 dpi using color Canon MG6120 printer ink.

It operates with 6 individual cyan, magenta, yellow, black, photo black and gray Canon MG6120 ink cartridges, though the last two are optional. Each color and the gray PIXMA MG6120 ink can yield 510 pages, while the black has a capacity of 450 sheets and the photo black lasts around 340 pages. Its sophisticated print head system and Canon MG6120 ink cartridges can produce a minimum droplet size of only 1 picoliter.

Although it may not be the quickest, its host of features makes this an easy drawback to overlook. From efficient one-touch control features, HD Movie print technology and a variety of elements to ensure the quality reproduction of images, this device is among the better choices for home photo printers.
