Canon PIXMA MG5150

The PIXMA MG5150 is an everyday remedy to creating top quality prints, duplicates and scans at home while utilizing cost-saving specific ink containers. High resolution and also microscopic ink dots ensure you produce high quality borderless images at home.

The Canon PIXMA MG5150 mirrors the PIXMA MG5250's style, with a rear-loading 150-sheet tray and also a 150-sheet cassette. It has the very same clear and brilliant 2.4 in LCD that we liked on its a lot more pricey equivalent, along with the exact same standard button format. It's simple to set up the print head as well as the 5 ink cartridges, and also linking the printer to your PC or Mac through the USB 2.0 port is easy.

As well as the back USB 2.0 port the Canon PIXMA MG5150 also has a front host port for PictBridge-enabled video camera connection, in addition to Bluetooth 2.0 for sending material from a mobile phone.

The major downside of choosing the Canon PIXMA MG5150 over the much more expensive PIXMA MG5250 is its lower resolution scanner. You only get a 1200x2400dpi flatbed scanner in contrast to a 4800x2400dpi device. Scans serve yet great image detail is missing out on-- choose a better scanner if you're intending to digitise old pictures or crucial files.

The Canon PIXMA MG5150 makes use of the same print head and also modern technology as the Canon PIXMA MG5250, so its outcome high quality is essentially the same. Grayscale documents in Standard top quality are smooth as well as clear in spite of being a little under-saturated. If you hunger for strong, strong message the Top quality establishing serves completely-- although printing is slightly slower. Colour records in Common quality are equally just as good as monochrome prints. We would certainly have liked slightly more saturation however typeface sides are smooth and also prints are easily readable down to 6pt size.

Like the Canon PIXMA MG5250, the PIXMA MG5150 creates good outcomes when printing high resolution images on picture paper. In Premium quality setting on Canon's Photo Paper And also Glossy II stock we discovered our colour test pictures to be clear and detailed, with great saturation levels as well as no visible posterisation. The Canon PIXMA MG5150 also thrilled us when it pertained to creating greyscale pictures, with only a small amount of banding as well as graininess noticeable in pictures' darker locations.

One area where the Canon PIXMA MG5150 fails is in its print speeds. The PIXMA MG5250 could take care of 11 monochrome pages per minute-- one sheet per 6 secs in our testing-- while the PIXMA MG5150 takes around 7 secs usually per monochrome A4 page. This is only somewhat slower each sheet, with a total speed of 9.7 web pages each min. Colour printing is substantially slower, though-- the PIXMA MG5250 handles 9.3 pages per min while the PIXMA MG5150 could just result 6.3.
