It prints quite quickly in black and white and quite quietly too at 49dB. The Canon MAXIFY GX6050 passed all of our tests without any paper jams, misprints, or sheets stuck together. The only feature missing from our check list is NFC, but that’s unlikely to be a deal-breaker for anyone. It’s a useful trick that not every all-in-one can do. Thanks to the dual scan mode, you can copy both sides of the page automatically.

The ADF can process a stack of 100 pages copying them at a rate of around 12ipm. The duplex mode is not much slower, but things slow down to 15 ipm for colour prints. The scanner resolution is higher at 1200 x 1200 dpi and the print speed of 24 ipm is quite fast when printing black and white pages in simplex mode. It also works with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.Īt a maximum of 600x1200 dpi, the print resolution is not as high as Canon’s photo printers, because this is primarily an office printer, though it can of course print on photo paper. There’s no NFC module, but it is compatible with all of the popular wireless protocols such as Apple AirPrint, Wireless Direct, Mopria and of course Canon’s own PIXMA Cloud Link. There’s a USB Host port for walk-up printing from a flash memory drive and Wi-Fi is built in. That includes envelopes, labels, heavy paper stock weighing up to 275g/m2 and even light fabric iron-on transfers. It has a decent capacity for paper and can print on almost any type of media up to A4 in size. The mid-range model tested here is still very well equipped with duplex scanning in addition to duplex printing. If you still can’t live without a fax facility, then the slightly more expensive four-in-one Canon MAXIFY GX6070 is the one for you.
