When we finally got to actually printing anything the quality of the print was rubbish.

What customers say about "Cartridges"

Canon PIXMA MG3050 All-In-One Printer

Excellent printer. Good colors of this one.
Vivid colors, easy to setup, good connect. Great device.
Compact printer, knows everything what an usual household needs. Perfect colors.
The printer will not work with only a black ink supply. Awful.
Both (black and colour) of them seems a bit small to compare to my previous printer cartridges.

Canon PIXMA MG3550 All-in-One Printer

This printer works very well on the Canon cartridges.
It possesses two ink cartridges (no fiddling with all those individual colours) which are easy to replace.
Ink cartridges reasonable and don't seem to dry out if you don't use it a lot.
All in all a very good two cartridge all-in-one.
The drawback is the size of the cartridges. Cartridges didn't last long.

What customers say about "Features"

Canon PIXMA MG3050 All-In-One Printer

Great value, features and price, easy to set up with laptop. No complaints so far.
The print from mobile feature was also really helpful.
Performs well for the price I paid. The software it comes with is easy to use.
Lacking features and clumsy setup.
Not at all easy to use for iPhone, AirPrint cannot find it.
