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.

Many users demand a versatile machine able to accurately print crisp color photos, but also need to be able to print black-and-white documents as well. Standard cartridges include dye-and-pigment based black, as well as magenta, yellow, and cyan dye-based inks for a full-color spectrum. Black-and-white photo reproduction has sometimes has an odd-looking tint in the past, and this printer corrects that situation by adding an additional grey-based cartridge that creates true black.

The 48-bit color scanner is a full 4800 dpi. Printing matches or beats the competition with an ultra-high 9600 dpi resolution. Scanning, photocopying and printing are all possible with just one machine. For a multi-use machine, scanning is comparable to some earlier Canon models such as the MP9990, which was already very good. The results are uniformly clear and sharp.

It takes about half-an-hour to complete the setup, including installation of the software and cartridges. Computer connection is made simple with USB, or it can be set up wirelessly for use within a network, or simply for printing anywhere within the home. It also has the capability of printing information from selected game devices, in addition to some smart phones and pads.

The overall package boasts an auto-opening output tray, in addition to two 150-sheet trays for paper input. Those serious about their photography will appreciate the editing options, which allows changing the aspect ratio, and making corrections to photo problems such as red-eye. People who want to produce professional-looking CDs or DVDs will also appreciate the adapter, which allows full printing directly onto white disc surfaces.

Print quality and speed is uniformly excellent. Photos turn out sharp and clear. A 4X6 inch photo print in standard quality mode takes only 19 seconds, and a full borderless A4 photo print is ready in around two minutes, even in the highest quality settings. For users who need a fast, versatile and stylish machine, the Canon Pixma MG6150 delivers in performance, and is a step up from previous models.
