And in terms of cost per page, it actually works out cheaper.Ĭolour documents also show good consistency and detail. Pages of text emerge with the consistency and quality you might expect from a laser printer, albeit at a much slower rate. The black pigment ink used stands out well, giving individual characters a crisp clarity right down to very small point sizes. It prints quite quietly and text documents look particularly crisp and bold. The Canon Pixma G6050 prints slowly, but steadily, turning out mono pages at around 13 pages per minute.

It’s a pity there are only four inks available too, as other Canon printers often use five or even six colours to compose a photo. Sadly, there’s not even a front USB port for printing directly from a thumb drive either.
So what features are missing? Well, there’s no ADF (automatic document feeder) or fax and no NFC connectivity or flash memory card slot for photographers. The quoted print speed is rather slow at 13 ipm in mono and only 6 ipm in colour. The print resolution is 4800x1200 dpi, while scanning is at 1200 x 2400 which are both reasonably high resolutions and promises strong copying functionality.
AirPrint, Google Cloud Print, PictBridge and Canon’s own Pixma Cloud Link are all available for easy cloud printing.
There are USB and Ethernet ports at the rear, and with Wi-Fi built in, you can also connect wirelessly via your network or using Wi-Fi Direct. That includes glossy photo paper, envelopes and parcel labels, which can all be loaded into the rear tray. It can automatically print both sides of the page for instance, and it can handle all sizes of paper up to A4. There’s no fax facility, but there are plenty of other key features.
