Review on Inkjet MFP Canon PIXMA MG2540S, color, A4 by Mateusz Jamroz ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A really necessary purchase, Im glad I found this product.

A good printer requires some difficulties in operation if you want to print photos. The biggest minus. The printer has a software block for printing on glossy A4. Printing can only be done on 10x15 and 13x18 formats, and he will also print on them with margins. This is a failure. If you print on glossy A4 and select "Plain paper" in the settings, the ink will smear with your finger and crumble. Do not believe other reviews about the fact that you can adjust the quality and everything will work - this is the incompetence of people. I have done many experiments. For those who have already bought this miracle, I inform you. The only option to print a 10x15 photo on it is to insert a glossy A4, choose to select a "super glossy" sheet in the settings and print, then turn A4 180 degrees and print again, for a total of 1 A4 sheet you can make a maximum of two normal 10x15. This is a complete failure. If the photo album is not tied to the photo format, you can cram four photos a little less than 10x15 into one A4, for this you need to print one photo, turn the A4 sheet over, print another one, cut the sheet across, fold the white side to the right in the sheet collector and print again, then cut everything with scissors. The option is very labor-intensive; as a result, the result will be crooked from scissors and less than 10x15. To print 10x15 photos, I advise you to choose any other inkjet printer with the ability to print borderless and buy ready-made 10x15 paper. Unfortunately, when buying, I did not carefully study these nuances. However, not a single person in the reviews bothered to report about the ban on printing on glossy A4. If you are a masochist, you can choose my version, it is the cheapest.

Pros
  • Low cost model. Good print quality. Good scanner.
Cons
  • A small amount of ink in the cartridges included in the kit. The high cost of original cartridges, however, there is a nuance, read below. Program blocking of the press on glossy A4! There is no borderless printing feature. The color and black cartridge that comes with the kit has a low ink volume, 20-30 sheets. The original cartridges are fully refilled with 9 ml (color 3 ml for each color). The cost of original cartridges for 1200 approximately. refilling ink costs 400. My refueling went pretty well. But you can ruin the cartridge if you refill it incorrectly and you have to buy a new one. Bottom line straight hand and ink is our choice.
