![]() ![]() I’ve seen lower end printers that have just one or two ink cartridges that contain multiple colors. To avoid having to take the printer out of the bookshelf to feed paper into it when I use it though, there needed to be a front tray, like you see on many small laser printers, so this became another condition of my search, so I narrowed my selection down to a couple of printers from the range I’d seen advertized.Īnother thing that I paid attention too was individual ink cartridges. There’s a built in book shelf under one of the windows, and I could make space for a small printer in there if I bought one. I figured that if I bought a printer like this, I would put it in the room next to our living room, which is like my study, but I also use it as a studio when necessary, or to lay out prints to dry when I get a lot of orders at the same time. If that sounds expensive to you, these are Japan prices, and I just checked on B&H to see that the same model is available for just $95 at the moment, and I can only see the price dropping over time. When I checked the prices, I was pleasantly surprised to see that they had some of the latest models on .jp for just over ¥14,000, which is about $180 US. I Needed a Small Wireless Business PrinterĪt that price I figured I might as well just take a look at what is available these days in the small business printer world, and I’d already seen some Canon printer commercials for pretty sleek looking printers that were wireless and wouldn’t look too out of place in a living room or study. The problem was, these adapters, at least here in Japan, cost about the equivalent of US$80. I rarely plug my MacBook Pro into the wired network, so this would have worked. ![]() Basically this would allow me to plug my 13×19″ printer, the Pixus or Pixma Pro9500, into the adapter and then I’d be able to print to it from the Wifi network that I have throughout our two floor apartment. The first thing I looked into was a USB to Wifi adapter. ![]() Well, as I work at home, with my office/studio on the third floor, but with space also on the second floor of our apartment to work, as well as me now spending a lot of time in our living room, with my MacBook Pro on my lap or dining table, I started to get frustrated with having to go up to my office to plug the USB cable into my computer just so that I could print say a receipt for something that I just bought online, or a bill or receipt for a customer and a second copy for my accounts. ![]() If you already follow my blog or Podcast you’ll know that I’m an avid printer, and already have a couple of very good printers that I use for my fine art photography prints, so you might be wondering why I bought a cheap printer like this. I bought mine almost three months ago, for reasons that I’ll get into shortly, but having recently tried it as a photo printer as well, I have to tell you, I was very pleasantly surprised with the results. This is basically an A4 or Letter paper size printer, with a scanner built into the top, but despite that, it’s a sleek looking machine, with various feature that make it well worth the price tag of under $100 US, or almost twice that at around ¥15,000 in Japan. Today we’re going to take a look at the Canon PIXMA MG6120 Wireless Photo All-in-One Printer. ![]()
