Canon PIXMA MG3150

Canon's MG3150 is very budget friendly as it's valued at simply ₤ 55. Regardless of its reduced asking price, this all-in-one printer takes care of to include support for Wi-Fi in addition to two-sided printing. With Canon's online reputation for producing inkjets with enviable print top quality, it looks, on paper at the very least, to be a deal.

Standing simply 152mm high, the MG3150 has quite a reduced account style. This, integrated with a shiny black paint work, makes it a fairly eye-catching looking maker. Nevertheless, the text of the printer is quite big at 449 by 304mm, and that's before you expand the input as well as result paper trays.

Sadly, the MG3150 doesn't have an appropriate screen. Rather it counts on a single-digit numerical screen that reveals you the currently-selected variety of copies when you're using the xeroxing attribute. There are also devoted buttons for duplicating and scanning, as well as a choice making the thing being copied fit the page.

The Tools button, on the other hand, allows you to do simple setup procedures, such as cleaning up the print head, activating as well as off the wireless connection and printing a placement page. However, these features are represented by single letters on the printer's easy display screen, so they're not easy to comprehend unless you have the manual to hand.

There are just two ink cartridges to fit, one black and also the various other tri-colour, and they slide in flat behind an internal, flip-down cover, which isn't as simple as dropping them into place. Various other software includes Canon's MP Navigator as well as Easy-PhotoPrint.

Easy-PhotoPrint includes mobile printing, which enables you to publish from an Android gadget or iPhone without having to set up drivers. You do have to download and install as well as install an application on your phone, yet it gives you much more control over prints than either HP's ePrint or Google Cloud Print. You could specify the size of the print and also the variety of duplicates, for instance. It's a wireless-based application, not a remote print center, but is of more basic use.

In spite of the lack of a decent display, setup is still pretty simple as the MG3150 is supplied with a big, step-by-step paper graph that overviews you through the entire procedure. The translation might be much better on the installation software application as too much Japlish sneaks in. During the software program installation you can prefer to hook the printer approximately your computer system either straight using USB, or via your home network making use of Wi-Fi.

The top of the printer is house to a scanner, which has an optical resolution of 2,400 dpi. Checking speed is on the sluggish side, however the high quality of the scans isn't really too bad, although at higher resolutions you do begin to see a reasonable few unwanted artefacts, like banding and also picture sound.
