CANON +Pixma G 620 Set up Part One!

[@ME2K23]

Glad you're taking a look at that printer. I've been using one of these for a couple of years now. Indeed, the worst thing about it is the much too simple driver - icc profile thing... letting the printer control the process, lead to good results (according to friends and relatives) but I felt it wasn't optimal... The driver limits you to only a few Canon papers but still, no perfect results, even with those canon papers... So, luckily, B&H got the Spyder Studio kit on sale shortly after I bought the G620. Using the Spyder Print, I created profiles for all the papers I am using (including those not supported by default by this printer) and then got really good results! So in my opinion, this is a very good priter for the price and operation cost, but Canon did a very bad job with the driver. If you can't get or create proper ICC profiles, it will still make good prints but you won't get the best results unless you can use proper icc profiles...

Canon finally allow full colour management in the G600 series driver at last. On that basis this printer could well replace my aging Epson ET2650 for my small photo prints with the advantage of having Red and Grey inks along with the more standard CMYK. Well done Canon, seems you really are listening to customer feedback 👍
