Supplied with two standard ink cartridges are located next to instructions and a setup CD PG-540 (black) + CL-541 (Color). Please note: These cartridges are coded with chips and is there no cheap replicas and refilling the ink by hand can be a gamble, because the printer is exactly noted that the ink cartridges were used before as empties.
It has been my experience with this exact type of cartridge that the ink evaporates very quickly when not using the printer! So if you really rarely prints and copies, which might go and buy another model, otherwise increase the cost of printing into a bottomless pit.
Who but often times print photos or documents and generally rather tends to original ink that gets delivered with the MG3550, a really well-equipped and relatively fast model.
That there is no paper cassette Well, look calmly at higher-priced Pixmas who mostly no. However one has not a big hassle with paper grades and formats, because the paper feed rail can be adjusted very quickly and the printer without paper tray really happens very compact and is cleared sometimes quickly out of the way.
The decor I felt now neither particularly complicated on the home PC even on Android smartphone and tablet. The current Nexus 7 tablet can even be controlled directly with the current Android version KitKat the printer.
The print quality I found to be quite good. Both images and documents were quite sharp and detailed from the Pixma. Also borderless photo printing is possible with the device operates relatively quietly and without vibration in all types of printing.
The design of the MG3550 is kept very functional. A display there is none, but this is to be expected in this price range hardly.
Conclusion: The Canon Pixma MG3550 is a functional and inexpensive printer with many great features. It is suitable not least because of the durability of the chip cartridge especially for people who want to print photos and documents within a reasonable amount on a regular basis and so. On possible convenient and practical way
Replacement cartridges move priced in a higher context, for the purchase price of the printer is very attractive.
