Canon - PIXMA G660 MegaTank

That could be the Canon Pixma G650, or G550 if you just want a pure printer (US versions G620, G520). 6 coloured ink tanks for quality, user replaceable printheads and chipped waste ink cartridge for reliability and bottled cheap OEM ink for low costs in the long run unlike those costly cartridges. Great if you just print up to A4 size. Obviously, don't leave a liquid ink jet printer unused for too long. Let's say 1 week at max. If you live somewhere humid, maybe even 2 weeks

Pixma G650 if you need the absolute best quality with cheap ink

If you print at least once a week, a Canon Pixma G620 could be a good option. Uses ink tanks which lasts thousands of pages per bottle refill. Canon Print app is very intuitive as well. It's more of a photo/art printer, tho. So it will give perfect quality, but not so great for document printing Or if you want a good mixture between photos and documents, then a Canon G3270 or G4270 (or G4280 if you want a bigger screen). Uses pigment ink unlike the G620, so very good for documents but still good for photos.

Exactly as mentioned above; - CP1500 is perfect for 10x15 prints and it is cheap to run. approx 0.33€/print - G550 or G650 are a great option if you don’t want to deal with any cartridge printers as they both work work bottled ink - PRO-1100 seems overkill in this scenario, it prints up to A2 - PRO-200S or PRO-310 are better option as they give you more control over your prints with more colors to work with. Or if you find a PRO-300 on the cheap. Go for that. They are both cartridge printers. The cost of running is higher the a G650 but you do get better color reproduction. I hope this helps!

I am happy with my Canon g650! It does an amazing job for the price. It's so rewarding to print photos and hang them to the wall, door, fridge, whiteboard, everywhere!

Already have one of those :)

I have a selphy 1300 (second hand for less than £50) which is identical (as far as prints are concerned)to the 1500 without some os and screen features. I also have a canon g650 A4 printer The selphy is brilliant for postcards, photos for the fridge etc... I have a memory scrap book which I use those photos. Quality is ok, it's fun. Requires a bit of altering of the settings to get colours right. The PIXMA g650 is for my "art" prints. Quality is phenomenal and the detail is another level. With some satin paper, I adore the prints and they really look "wow". Both have their use.

Just ordered the G650. :)

Hey. It arrived earlier today and I have done 3 test prints. Far better colour and contrast than what the hp 570 was capable of. I’ll do some more prints this week and let you know my thoughts.  So far, I am happy!

I watched/read reviews stating the Canon is slow; whilst waiting for a print I didn't feel it were much slower than the hp (I will admit, I never measured or looked up the PPM spec for the hp). Setup process was fine though the dot matrix screen and cursor buttons could be better for entering the wifi password. Took me a few seconds to figure how to switch between lower case/upper case and numerals/symbols. I'll test printing a letter or 2 tomorrow to see how it fares for occasional/rare document printing. Far, far more sensible choice than the hp. :)

I'm researching currently and the clear winner is the Canon PIXMA G620 mega tank printer. I absolutely loved my previous generation tank printer (wore it out after thousands of gorgeous prints). The ink is a lot less expensive when you buy it by the bottle.

Pixma g620. Buy red river paper and download their icc profiles. Also buy an extra waste tank if you're gonna do a lot of printing.

I bought a Canon G620. If you're willing to spend a little time learning about paper types and print profiles, this printer will print beautiful, borderless prints for pennies each, paper and ink included. Printing at home is not for everyone. The printer itself is relatively cheap compared to higher end printers but incredibly priced for a 6 ink, tank based photo printer. It's the best bang for your buck printer out right now in my opinion. 

I haven't used the scanner so I can't comment there. As for photo printing, I've been very satisfied. There is a small learning curve to get the best results but if you take the time to work through setting things up to match your paper, I can't imagine you'd be disappointed with the photo quality. I was pleasantly surprised with the black and white photo capabilities as well. I wasn't expecting much but there is almost no color cast or gradient banding in the black and white prints I've made. Ink usage has been reasonable even on high quality and replacement ink is very affordable. My recommendation for getting the most out of this printer would be to order a paper sample pack or two from Red River Paper and download their printer profiles for the G620. They also include a PDF to walk you through what settings to select and how to use the profiles for each paper type. The first prints I made with plain Canon paper and default settings made just so-so prints with some visible banding. After going through some trial and error with papers and profiles, the prints are great. I'm very happy with this as a photo printer.

You probably already bought a printer, but I'll add this in case anyone else comes along with the same question. The G620 is the only photo printer I've owned, so keep that in mind--I can't compare it to anything else. I freakin love my G620. My main use case is printing dozens and dozens of photos of my dogs at 8x10. I used to get them printed at Walgreens or Walmart, but that was a pain and they'd mess it up fairly often, so I got the Pixma. If you literally (and I do mean literally) put it under a magnifying glass, you can tell the quality isn't as good as the commercial prints. But from six inches, I can't tell any difference at all. (Of course, you need the glossy photo paper.) I recommend it every time someone mentions buying an inkjet.
