Product Information

Much as I’d love to give an ‘approved’ list of papers for B&W, I can’t. I get a steady stream of people from the US asking if paper X or Y is OK? Sorry, I’m in the UK and only get to test papers available here – even then, some companies have never asked me to look at their papers and especially in current times I can’t afford to buy rolls/boxes of expensive paper on a whim… I always suggest using such images when testing new papers, rather than your own favourite photos. If you can print an image you like the quality of, from these, then it makes refining the printing of your own work so much easier. Paper Sizes: A4, A5, B5,A6, LTR, LGL, 4″” x 6″” (10x15cm), 5″” x 7″” (13x18cm), 7″” x 10″” (18x25cm), 8″” x 10″” (20x25cm), Square 5″” x 5″” (127mm x 127mm), Square 3.5″” x 3.5″” (89 mm x 89 mm), Card Size 55mm x 91 mm (2.17″”x3.58″”)Envelopes(DL, COM10, C5, Monarch),

I’ve tested several papers and in every case, the B&W results from using one of my ‘Mac profiles’ is better – I suspect this would be the case with Windows as well… Ok, it prints nicely enough on plain paper – not super sharp, and colour images on plain paper look much as you’d expect. Canon Print Service is a print plug-in for Android smart devices, which enables printing from Android v4.4 - v5.0 devices to many Canon printers via a Wi-Fi network. The plug-in does not work as a standalone app. Available for free at Google Play.

A very different set of expectations for print software.

It’s important to realise that any profiles I’ve created are just for Mac/AirPrint use– they don’t profile at a low enough level to match normal ICC profiles, so they won’t work on Windows systems (normally they are interchangeable). [UPDATE video: Using Keith’s Mac ICC profiles on Windows ]The printer does have an inbuilt web server, which makes several tasks easier than using the small LCD.

Using third party papers and printer driver settings was a mixed bag – you need to take care in selecting a matching media type. Art papers generally looked best on the Fine Art Rough setting, whilst the ‘Photo Paper – others’ setting produced good results when used with my profiles. However, you will need to experiment. To take advantage of AirPrint, your compatible printer must be connected to the same wireless network as your iOS device or Mac computer. With any printer I always start off with OEM papers – so, Canon paper for this G550 printer review.It was at this point I seriously considered cutting testing short, since AirPrint allows for no real colour management. No use of ICC printer profiles – something I consider essential for effective use of Canon and non-Canon papers. Photo print speed is based on default driver setting using ISO/JIS-SCID N2 standard on Canon Photo Paper Plus Glossy II and does not take into account data processing time on host computer.
