Automatic adjustments are available for those with limited skills, and more advanced features are also there for more experienced users.

Printer ink for inkjet models doesn't have to be expensive, and affordable Canon iX6550 ink cartridges prove this point. Compatible PIXMA iX6550 ink is available for less than OEM versions, and the high-capacity PIXMA iX6550 ink cartridges have a capacity of over 510 pages each, and the low cost per page to go with it.
