Expert Verdict
There are two main uses of this wireless and all-in-one printer in the home: first to print photos and second to print documents. Canon’s PIXMA TS6050 has been made to fulfil both of these which makes it particularly an easy-to-operate printer to print using phones and mobile devices, as well as using cloud platforms. Its 5 single Canon Pixma TS6050 Ink Cartridges system is also a hit, as it allows you to replace the Canon Pixma TS6050 Ink Cartridges which run out of ink. Canon has redesigned its PIXMA range and reduced its desktop footprint with this printer. This TS6050 machine is around 30 per cent smaller than its predecessor and its neat styling helps to save a lot of space in the room. The top of its all-black case is built by the lid of its single-sheet flatbed scanner, an extendable, and a near-vertical paper feed pulling up from the rear of the top which can feed up to 20 sheets of photo or plain paper. The main paper feed of the printer slides into the bottom of the front panel. This paper feeder is able to take up to 100 sheets of plain paper, though photo paper can’t be fed from here.
The main part of the front panel slides in the upward direction and should be used in its horizontal orientation to allow for paper feed to pull out the output tray. The panel contains a 75mm touchscreen that has all of the information on the screen. This screen handles most of the controls of the machine, though it also has well-designed physical buttons for key features, including a Home button to return to the home screen. Coming to Canon Pixma TS6050 Ink Cartridges, This printer boasts five, single-colour Canon Pixma TS6050 Ink Cartridges clipped into place. When you lift the scanner section, you will find a pigmented black ink cartridge for printing text on plain paper, as well as a dye-based one for intensifying the darker hues in photos. Moreover, this Pixma model supports multiple software including Canon’s Image Garden and Creative Park Premium applications to provide basic support for all the printer’s functions. Though it lacks an NFC connection, there are free apps for iOS and Android which are simple and efficient.
Talking about its print quality and speed, on testing, we faced some trouble getting the Canon PIXMA TS6050 to print from its input tray. After a few trials, we found that it failed to pick paper correctly. However, when we shuffled and reloaded the paper, this problem appeared to be sorted out. The text and colour graphics document also prints very slowly, so none of the results will come close to the claimed speeds. The colour print speed is quite slow for this class of machine.
The quality of prints is pretty decent, with intense black text on plain paper, clean, well-saturated colours in business graphics and less than normal lightening of colours in a colour copy. Other than that, photo images are also sharp and natural, though some detail is lost in darker areas. What’s more, the Canon Pixma TS6050 Ink Cartridges are available in normal and high-yield versions and using the higher capacity Canon Pixma TS6050 Ink Cartridges gives accurate results which is far better than the device’s main competitors. Overall, Canon’s PIXMA TS6050 is a stylish machine and can be used with mobile devices and a PC. Although in testing it had an isolated paper feed problem, generally it’s an easy-to-use device and fits neatly on a desk or table. It’s neither the fastest nor cheapest printer to run, though it's in high demand in the market.
