Customer Reviews
Effortless set up, even for WiFi
Excellent print and photographic quality
High quality scanning
Faster than older Canon inkjet printers
Slick interface/modern design
Buffed up Canon software
Front loading paper tray
Excellent customer support (see addendum)
Cons:
Memory card reader on WiFi works for Windows but not for Mac
Slow wireless 'upload' from printer
Shiny exterior picks up fingerprints
Completely redesigned ink cartridges means that you are stuck with expensive, proprietary
ones, at least for the time being
No continuous document feed
Long install time for proprietary software
Canon software is much better, but still a little slow and clunky
No printer functions will work (including scanning) if there is a missing or malfunctioning ink cartridge
The PIXMA MG6120 is one of Cannon's newest line of printers. It is long on features and really is an excellent, all around printer for home use. It was easy to set up using the supplied CD and worked without a hitch on WiFi immediately on set up. The text printing on normal paper is excellent and the photographic reproduction is nearly photo-lab comparable.
Note: I am using the printer on an Apple iMac with a 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM (for the truly savvy, this is a 17" MA590LL/A, late 2007 model). I am running OS X 10.6.4 on the Mac side and Windows 7 home edition on Bootcamp. The printer that I am comparing this model to, is my old Canon MX310[Canon Pixma MX310 Office All-in-One Inkjet Printer (2184B002)], bought from Amazon circa 2007.... Read more ›
The longest part of setting this printer up was waiting while the software installed. That aside this is a great printer, scanner, and copier. Photo prints are store quality. Setup was a breeze. I had started reading the instructions but soon realized they weren't needed as the printer walks you through the setup. Setting up the wireless feature was a breeze and installing the print cartridges easy. It prints photos and documents perfectly and scans very quickly at a fantastic resolution.
The controls are easy to understand and the software is easy to use.
Some of the pluses:
Sleek and nifty interface.
Easy wireless setup.
Very easy to use.
Easy to install print cartridges.
Touchscreen LCD.
Decent wireless speeds.
Photo quality is realistic and beautiful.
Print quality is excellent.
Scans at very high resolution.
Scans and prints quickly.
6 tanks of ink for perfect photographic reproduction.
A couple of negatives:
Software takes a while to load. Especially on multiple machines.
Piano black exterior begs for fingerprints and dust.
The printer is a bit on the large size.
It has 6 tanks of ink to replace.
There are two things I don't like about this printer. The first relatively minor irk is the black piano finish which I don't mind too much because I won't be touching the printer much if at all possible. Its going to be a dust magnet though. The second is financial and that is the very reason the color photos look so good. It uses 6 tanks of ink and so far you can only get them manufactured from Canon.... Read more ›
Set up was fairly straightforward. I tried the wireless feature and it was easy to configure my settings but when it came time to connect my laptop to it I couldn't find the printer. I assume I needed to load the CD drivers, etc. on my laptop as the instructions say to do, which I did not want to do.
This to me should not be the case. My Mac connects to all kinds of other printers and finds the drivers it needs. Anyway, I connected the printer to my desktop (not the laptop I was mentioning) with the USB cord and it went fine. No problems at all.
I really like the display that pops up and guides you through whatever you are doing. Depending on your job various options/buttons light up on the cover which is really neat. So what you can see are only the things available for your job. Very nice.
A major complaint I have is that the startup manual is so confusing. Rather than keep the languages separated, they chose to split the page for English and I assume Spanish. It became very confusing. This really slowed me down. But it wasn't the printer's weakness, but the person who made that decision.
Another issue I have is that the paper cassette doesn't hold a lot of paper. No big deal if it sits next to your computer. But if you are using the wireless option from another floor in your home, well that could become a hassle.
All in all, this is a great machine and is performing very well. The print quality and speed are superb.
