Canon Pixma MG2150 Printer Review

Not to be confused with the MG5150, the Canon Pixma MG2150 is now on sale for around £50. The new compact and stylish mult-function machine can print, scan, and copy.

Aimed at the moderate home user, the MG2150 offers an everyday solution to your home printing and scanning needs. It also includes some clever features such as HD Movie Print, Easy Webprint Ex, and photo editing software.

The Canon Pixma MG2150 uses a new range of Canon ChromaLife cartridges with a new ink formula. The machine uses PG-540 Pigment Black Ink cartridge (with built on print head), and CL-541 Dye-based Colour cartridge (also with built on print head). Also available are XL versions that print 600 pages instead of 180 for black, and 400 pages instead of 180 for colour). These are available for a few pounds more and make sound economic sense. The larger versions would be easier to refill also as there is more room inside of them to accept ink.

Print speed and quality is fine for the price of the printer. The price of the ink cartridges means that this printer is best suited for the occasional home user.
