Canon is a popular brand, mainly for their camera equipment but this time, they have truly outdone themselves in the printing department as well.

This time, we have chosen to test iX6820 and we were not disappointed at all.
If all you need to do is have your pictures and documents printed, then iX6820 is a really great choice for that.
Canon Pixma iX6820 Review
The Canon Pixma iX6820 Inkjet Printer is a high-resolution, heavy duty printer that is a perfect choice for professionals and printing enthusiasts. It produces excellent quality colored documents and comes with heavy duty design.
It may not be the fastest printer on the market but it does provide high resolution colored images along with black and white documents. If you’re okay with buying a printer that isn’t designed with an all-in-one perspective, then iX6820 Inkjet Printer is everything you need.
To give you a better understanding of what this badass of a printer can and can’t do, we are talking about all its features in grave details down below.
Design
One thing that we absolutely loved about the Canon Pixma iX6820 Inkjet Printer is that it’s simple and straightforward. It isn’t an all-in-one printer which means it doesn’t scan or copy or even fax for that matter. While for some people, this may be off putting but for us, it got rid of quite a lot of complexities.
This bad boy is designed for only one function; print and print, that’s it. The design is simple and there is no rocket science involved. It comes with a detailed user manual that will give you all the information you need to get the printer started.
It does take a lot of space in the rear and at the front. It isn’t an industrial sized printer neither it is a compact printer. Also, the Canon Pixma iX6820 is quite heavy duty it weighs around 18.7lbs so make sure you have designated space to keep it.
Speed
Speed is probably the only domain where the Canon Pixma iX6820 doesn’t get to flex. It takes around 3-minutes to print a black and white document where it’s only using one ink. The printing quality is great but the time consumption for even one ink is a lot.
Whereas when it’s consuming a number of colors to print an image, the device can take up to 7-8 minutes which can further increase depending on the complexity of the image. If you’re in search for a printer that can deliver printing at a fast pace, maybe the Canon Pixma iX6820 Inkjet Printer isn’t for you.
Efficiency
When compared to laser printers, one plus point of inkjet printers is that they don’t consume a lot of energy. The Canon Pixma iX6820 falls on the same line. It’s not only energy efficient but it also doesn’t sip too much of ink. You will not be going bankrupt because of the ink consumption if you do opt for this printer.
Printing quality
The Canon Pixma iX6820 Inkjet Printer is capable of printing 9600×2400 DPI. Trust us when we say that you’re not going to find any other printer that offers this much DPI at such an affordable price point. And even if you’re willing to pay twice the price, even then you won’t find a printer that offers DPI support of this level.
Point being, if you’re craving the results of a high-end inkjet printer than you need not to waste any more time and get this device right away.
Advanced features
Some of the advanced features of the Canon Pixma iX6820 Printer include having Wi-Fi support, AirPrint and Google Cloud Print. This means you can conveniently connect it to your laptop and all your smartphones. Printing images has never been this easier. Now you can directly connect it to your phone and get the prints ASAP.
Great value
The Canon Pixma iX6820 Inkjet Printer comes at a very affordable price point. Given the quality of image and utmost convenience that it offers, the printer adds great value to your money. You’re possibly not going to find such an incredible printer for this price anywhere else. It’s not difficult to use and would be a great option for regular home and office use. If you only require printing and not scanning or copying.
