Canon Maxify GX6550

Extremely low running costs ; Unusually compact design ; Reasonable quality and speed

Very expensive to buy ; Unusual scanner layout isn’t perfect

Canon’s whacky-looking MAXIFY GX6550 might be expensive to buy, but its ultra-low running costs make it good value to own over the long term. It’s a great choice if you want a small office multifunction for a cramped space, but otherwise, its oddball...

Convenient design ; Low TCO ; Lots of inbox ink ; Easy to use

Scanner bed smaller than A4 ; Rear tray is a problem ; High initial cost ; No fax or NFC

Canon’s clever under-counter design could be convenient for some, but it’s the strong print performance and super-efficient page yield that really sell this ink tank printer.
