Canon PIXMA iX6560 A3+ Printer Review
By Regie Fernando

 



Many photographers will tell you inkjet printing is expensive, colors are dull and all the sort of negativity about inkjet printing. We can put that simply to, “print with a print lab” period. Most of the time if we avail of the services of a print lab, we often print the sizes like 4in x 6in (4R) or the bigger 8in x 10in (8R). Thats the normal sizes, little did we know that there are 8in x 12in, 10in x 15in, 12in x 18in and bigger. While these big sized prints are possible with print labs, most mall branches can only print up to 8in x 12in and those bigger prints are to be printed in their major branches.

Since 2003 I’ve been playing around with fine art printing (giclée). I’ve had one of the first affordable A3 printer from Epson, the 1160 (if I recall that right) which I had some really bad experiences. Now I’m maintaining a Canon PIXMA iP4300, MX347, Pro 9500 and an HP multi-function printer for work and personal use. All of these printers have their own special skills.

The PIXMA iX6560 is Canon’s first affordable A3+ printer. This printer is marketed to the amateur and professional photographers. I have a hunch that most photographers is eager to see their photos on large prints on their own but quite hesitant to buy an A3+ printer because in the past, these category of printers costs more than 20,000 pesos.

I extensively tested the PIXMA iX6560 for almost 3 weeks. Allow me to report to you the aesthetics and the abilities of this printer. Lastly lets find out if it can break the common notion of “print with a print lab”.
