Canon PIXMA MG3150

Canon's MG3150 is highly cost effective as it's valued at just ₤ 55. In spite of its low asking rate, this all-in-one printer handles to include support for Wi-Fi as well as two-sided printing. With Canon's credibility for creating inkjets with excellent print high quality, it looks, theoretically at the very least, to be a deal.

Standing simply 152mm high, the MG3150 has rather a reduced account style. This, integrated with a shiny black paint job, makes it a fairly eye-catching looking machine. However, the text of the printer is fairly large at 449 by 304mm, which's before you extend the input and also result paper trays.

Sadly, the MG3150 doesn't have a correct display. Rather it relies upon a single-digit numerical screen that reveals you the currently-selected variety of copies when you're utilizing the copying attribute. There are also committed buttons for duplicating and scanning, as well as a choice to make the product being copied fit the page.

The Tools button, on the various other hand, enables you to carry out easy arrangement treatments, such as cleaning the print head, activating as well as off the wireless link and also publishing a placement web page. However, these functions are stood for by single letters on the printer's easy display screen, so they're not easy to understand unless you have the manual to hand.

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

Easy-PhotoPrint includes mobile printing, which enables you to print from an Android tool or apple iphone without having to install drivers. You do need to download and install as well as mount an application on your phone, and it offers you more control over prints than either HP's ePrint or Google Cloud Print. You could define the size of the print and the number of duplicates, for instance. It's a wireless-based application, not a remote print center, and is of even more basic usage.

Regardless of the absence of a good display, arrangement is still very straightforward as the MG3150 is provided with a big, detailed paper chart that guides you through the whole process. The translation could be better on the setup software as excessive Japlish sneaks in. During the software application installation you could decide to hook the printer approximately your computer either directly using USB, or with your home network making use of Wi-Fi.

The top of the printer is the home of a scanner, which has an optical resolution of 2,400 dpi. Scanning speed is on the slow side, however the high quality of the scans isn't really regrettable, although at greater resolutions you do begin to see a fair couple of unwanted artefacts, like banding as well as image noise.
