The best printer I have ever had
It's a pity I didn't hear about ink tank printers sooner.....I would have saved myself a lot of trouble!
Pro
- Simple installation
- Prints well and cheaply
Canon pixma G5050 printer
Pro
- Very fast printing
Contra
- No photocopies possible
Light and shadow
I was looking for a pure printer, something that is hardly available anymore. The quality of the prints on standard paper is good, but paler and less vibrant than my previous printer (Epson Workforce WF3010 from 2012). The print speed is rather slow. Especially when changing print settings (e.g. quality 'high' and increasing intensity), the print speed can drop quite dramatically, to less than 1 page/minute.
Pro
- Compact device (printer only)
- Paper tray at the front and not at the back, placement possible in rack not accessible from the back
- has LAN connection
- Duplex printing
Contra
- Print speed rather low
- Tiny, poorly legible display (but normally only rarely needed)
- no proper documentation (only PDF of online documentation)
- Frequent lengthy, noisy cleaning procedures
Not bad...but
My previous model (EpsonTank) was significantly better, as well as easier to use.
Super printer, attention without scanner
Super printer if you have a lot to print. And you save a lot of money on ink. Have the printer in the office.

GGf look at megatank 7050 if you also want to scan and copy
Pro

Contra
- This printer can not scan and copy
Recommended color printer for home or small office use
For inkjet printers with the features:
- Color

there is unfortunately not much choice. With the G5050 I am very satisfied so far. Print image is nice, but I have not yet tested photo paper.Pro
- Ink in the tank, no cartridges
- 2 separate print heads for colour and b/w, easy to replace (if necessary)
- very much ink included
- replacement ink is relatively cheap
- starts fast

- runs without special driver under Linux
- Duplex
- Transparent, visible ink tanks

Quite ok
Definitely cheaper to maintain.

Beautiful color pushers

Economical ink printer
The priority for me was refilling the ink. Finally there are printers where you do not always have to replace these expensive individual cartridges. I hope that the ink refill from the bottle has a future. I find the print quality super.

- Single sheet feeder in the back
- large, visible ink tanks

- It is a color printer!

Bybye Windows!

Top Canon printer
Good printer, with plenty of ink when purchased. A little slow but quite suitable for normal use. Only downside, ink smudges on paper when marked with pen.
