Canon Pixma MG5550 Printer Review

Expert review of the Canon Pixma MG5550 printer

Our Verdict:

When instant web connectivity matters, the SOHO user can consider the Canon Pixma MG5550 all-in-one colour inkjet printer for its built-in Wi-Fi and cloud and mobile capabilities. With print, copy and scan functions plus Wi-Fi the Canon MG5550 printer offers great multifunctionality. This device helps save money and space with its all-in-one functions, too, but the Canon Pixma MG5550 photo all-in-one with Wi-Fi lacks a few features that could compromise its efficiency and user-friendliness.

Design

The Canon Pixma MG5550 printer is a stylish and sophisticated multifunction device with scan, print, and copy functions, a five-ink system for savings, and a colour 6.2cm TFT display screen for easy user operation. The Pixma MG5550 inkjet photo printer weighs 6.4Kg and measures 148mm tall, 369mm deep, and 455mm wide. The CIS flatbed scanner can handle documents that are a maximum of 216x297mm in size. The front paper tray can handle up to 100 sheets at a time. Wireless connectivity is a standard, but it is also possible to connect the Canon Pixma MG5550 from its high-speed USB B port.

Advantages

Versatile media handling makes the Canon Pixma MG5550 ideal for printing iron-on transfers, labels, stickers, and glossy or matte photographs. It features high scan and print resolution for accurate and smoother results. Time and energy-saving features include double-sided printing, an automatic document feeder, Cloud support, and wireless connectivity. PIXMA Printing Solutions app can be downloaded for remote control over the Canon MG-5550 inkjet printer. Apple AirPrint and Google Cloud Print are also supported. To be more cost-efficient, the Pixma MG-5550 printer can use high capacity XL ink cartridges.

Disadvantages

The Canon Pixma MG5550 photo printer is heavy and tends to take up more space. It is strictly an A4 device, so larger media cannot be used. The budget-conscious might find the Canon Pixma MG5550 all-in-one to be expensive to purchase.
