For those who demand versatility and a host of modern features in a printer, the Canon Pixma MG6150 is a good choice. With a high-tech, glossy all-black look, this all-in-one unit does not need to be hidden from view, and is visually at home in any setting. Gone is any trace of the myriad buttons that sometimes sprout from the front of some older printers. Instead, users are greeted with a spring-loaded touch screen.
A large portion of the lid doubles as that control screen. Some printers are difficult to use if not situated in a well-lit area, but the controls on this screen glow brightly enough to be seen in a dark room. Selections are easily readable, and navigating the menu is simple, if not totally intuitive. The symbols are large, and a four-way button in the center is the control hub.
The printer itself works both with and without a computer. Photography enthusiasts are able to print directly from a camera by using the PictBridge port, or by using one of the compatible memory slots. Memory slot users are able to browse JPEG selections right on the printer screen, allowing users to print without the computer. It has Full HD Movie print, allowing reproduction of individual movie frames.
