Canon Pixma MG6150 praised for design and flexibility March 31, 2011 16:53 by Chris Rails

An all-in-one device that uses Canon printer ink has been praised by a technology reviewer for its looks and functionality.

Paul Lester of Pocket Lint said the Canon Pixma MG6150 offers printing, scanning and copying functions for documents and photographs and highlighted the three-inch colour display that can be tilted as particularly useful.

He explained that the printer looks good thanks to its touch-sensitive controls in place of rows of buttons.

However, Mr Lester pointed out that the device is not just aesthetically-pleasing, as it offers standard or wireless printing capabilities, a USB/PictBridge port, a multi-card reader, the option to add a Bluetooth dongle and "superb" print quality.

"This is an extremely attractive proposition, where a combination of excellent usability, impressive performance and a sleek design makes it a versatile choice for home or home office user," he concluded.

The manufacturer states that the Pixma MG6150 uses six single Canon ink cartridges so users only have to replace one at a time, which could be good for those seeking an economical purchase.
