I set this printer up for wireless use right from the start, connecting to my MacBook Pro via our house network. Note that the printer only works on the 2.4GHz band. Apple AirPrint allows full colour, top-quality printing from iOS devices such as iPhones and iPads directly from within many Apps available from the Apple App Store. Where special offers provided by Printerland and/or the manufacturer applies, the competitor must also be providing the same offer/s for the

That’s not really a complaint – I’m a working professional photographer and use Photoshop most days. A very different set of expectations for print software.With any printer I always start off with OEM papers – so, Canon paper for this G550 printer review. In printing one of Karen’s iPhone photos, the image looked reasonable, but after importing it into Photoshop and editing on a colour managed system, and printing with one of my profiles, the results were a lot better.

Canon PIXMA G550

Easy to use, the 2-line LCD allows users to access information and adjust settings effortlessly, while automatic power off saves energy If you need an office printer, then get one – even the G650 with its scanner/copier is not really pushing this area. When printing on third party paper or card, it’s important to try printing known test images or profiling targets with different media settings to see which is the best starting point. These video FAQ's provide detailed, step by step instructions which are specific to your product and have been created to guide you through the most common setup tasks required to prepare your PIXMA product. There are also some helpful troubleshooting videos which guide you through some of the most common printing problems you may encounter when using your product. It’s important to realise that any profiles I’ve created are just for Mac/AirPrint use– they don’t profile at a low enough level to match normal ICC profiles, so they won’t work on Windows systems (normally they are interchangeable). [UPDATE video: Using Keith’s Mac ICC profiles on Windows ]

To take advantage of AirPrint, your compatible printer must be connected to the same wireless network as your iOS device or Mac computer. I always suggest using such images when testing new papers, rather than your own favourite photos. If you can print an image you like the quality of, from these, then it makes refining the printing of your own work so much easier. Follow the online guide or instructions in the box. I’d note that mine was a test unit, so didn’t have any instructions – I set it up just fine though. An example taken from my i1profiler profiling software, shows the gamut volume comparison between using the Pro-Luster (red) and Other Photo Paper (blue) media settings.

A4 MegaTank printer (also G620/G650)

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.

Wireless printing requires a working network with wireless 802.11b/g/n or ad capability, operating at 2.4GHz.

At this point I normally install the printer driver on my Mac and make warnings about not accidentally selecting the AirPrint Driver, since it’s a significantly dumbed down printer interface, and widely regarded as unsuitable for any serious printing.In terms of speeds, an A4 photo take a couple of minutes at normal quality, and just below 5 mins at the very best quality.
