Canon Pixma Ix6850 printer, unboxing, setting up and testing | Small Business Diaries Vlog

[@BethFrostArt]

yes would love to see how you changed the settings and stuff for this printer! I'm looking to get a printer for my art prints in the future so would love some more info on this one :)

[@Artanddesignbykb]

Thanks for watching. I'll see what i can do about putting together a more detailed review and demonstration.

[@Antony_Oscar]

​@Artanddesignbykb I'd be interested too, I bought this same one and I'm a total noob when it comes to printer settings

[@manuelbrunner6247]

really appreciate these honest, not ai genereted, test videos :)

[@principlephotography]

Thanks very much! I've just bought one of these printers. After a few tweaks, the prints are coming out perfect for my exhibition.

[@Angelchakra]

My hubby just bought this printer for me and it arrived today, so I’ve yet to set it up - but thanks for the tip about the colour profiles, I didn’t know about that. I’m looking forward to now clearing my space for it (I’m looking forward to tidying? 😂) and to start printing my labels for my products 😊 a more in depth video of the different settings would be really helpful please 😊 many thanks, Kate (p.s. I’m only in Cornwall so nice to see another south west gal here! 😄)

[@Artanddesignbykb]

aww, thanks for watching! Let me know how you get on with the tidying (haha) and setting up your printer. It is really good once you work out the best settings for your designs. I'll try and do another more in-depth video when i get chance

[@craftyorigins]

Yay for new printers. They are fun to unbox but a pain to setup. I have the Canon Pixma I8720, which I believe is similar to yours and it prints beautifully on Canon paper. Still trying to figure out the settings for other paper brands. I would love to see a more in-depth review and some before and after printing 😊

[@Artanddesignbykb]

Thanks for watching. I'll see what I can do about getting up a more in-depth review.

[@galinawrench7365]

Hi Kerry, lovely video and your work is amazing. Just wondering if you are able to make a video about the colour setting and how exactly you set the colour settings :) Thank you in advance

[@vanessamacleoddesign]

I'm sorely tempted now. That 300gsm does sound good. The most my current printer will do is 200. Also A3! I have a great little HP Envy 7830 that does the job on A4 (but not 300gsm)...and an absolutely ancient Brother Laser that I actually want to get rid of, when I find a decent mono laser that can handle thicker card as well, so that I can get into foiling.

[@Artanddesignbykb]

I am really pleased with it now that I've figured out the colour settings can be amended to fix any issues that arise with different paper types. Being able to print on 300gsm is fantastic. If i run in to any issues with it in the coming weeks and months I'll make sure to mention it so you see how i get on with it. Let me know if you do get one.

[@ReodoraPurple]

Thank you, I plan on buying this printer very soon and this is all very informative. I would love to see an in depth video as well if you're still planning to make that.

[@Artanddesignbykb]

Thanks for your feedback. I'm glad you found the video helpful. I have started to film an update on how I'm getting on with the printer and more things I've learnt about it. Just got to find time to finish filming and edit it. Hopefully I'll get something up soon.

[@ReodoraPurple]

@@Artanddesignbykb That’s amazing news, thank you!

[@AishaMakhdoom-f1l]

Hey thank youu for the informative video 😊 I’m just going through your channel did you put up another video on how to change the quality settings please?x

[@elainevking1]

Love how helpful this is. Thank you

[@CarlPendlePhotos]

Great video. Just bought it. Mine only cost £122 as were doing a Canon 20% promotion so thanks for linking to printerbase. Way cheaper than Amazon as well. How much are the inks and where do you buy yours from?

[@Zoe-xg1tq]

Hi does this printer print boarderless? If so would you be able to do a video of you testing this please? Also whats the thickest gsm you can print on with this printer? :)

[@lfcmarkeb7124]

I've had one for a few years, recently started playing up with smaller prints, paper cocking to one side now and again ruining the prints.. nice that it does A3+ though.. bit finicky with paper sizes that canon doesn't like you using stupidly enough

[@sarahjbasith2556]

Hello, I just came across your channel. I am looking at purchasing this printer. Do you still recommend it? Also, what card stock and sticker paper are you using with this printer?

[@elainemyers3630]

I am getting this printer for my Birthday for edible use, did you make a video of how to change colour if the image comes out dark. Printers hate me so I’m hoping when I get it, I’ll be happy with the colour. Be much appreciated thank you

[@Reflected_motive]

Hey! First of things thank you for informative vid, very helpful! I just have one question, exploitation related; does this printer allow refilling ink cartriges or do you need to reset chips/buy brand new ones?

[@katemorrison7607]

Hi Kerri-Ann, I invested in this printer a while ago but I’m only getting around to it now. When you’re adjusting the settings do you use the canon print app? I can’t seem to find a way to adjust settings. I don’t have a Mac, so I’m working from my iPad Pro. Thanks

[@Angelika5378]

Hey, Did you try printing longer sheets of paper? Like something that is 60cm long? I'd like to make dust jackets for books but the specs on the canon website don't say anything about individual measurements (like they do for the pixma ts9550)

[@otherissu9274]

Whats the smallest size/dimensions you hace been able to print? And or csutoms sizes? Cheers

[@sharonbaker3032]

Great video thank you. I just purchased mine. May i ask will you use original canon ink or purchase compatible inks?

[@Artanddesignbykb]

Hiya, I used the Canon inks to start with and then a compatible ink offered by the company I got the machine for, one that doesn't affect the warranty of machine as they have approved it / sell it. Hopefully that makes sense.

[@debmon244]

I had a Canon Pro 100 before. I now have the same printer as you. It doesn't seem to print as detailed on my greeting card paper as my previous printer did. But your video is making me wonder if it's just the paper. To me it seems like the black bleeds a tiny but making things look slightly blurred.

[@Tashall]

Did you manage to find the culprit for the bleed, was it the paper? I am so close to buying this, but if the printer lacks detail on typography, then that's a major issue!

[@debmon244]

Yes! If I print with the quality set to high it looks great. And I recently bought proper photographic inkjet paper for my art prints and they look AMAZING! It was definitely the paper. @@Tashall

[@Tashall]

Great :D I think I am sold on this printer now 😄@@debmon244

[@paisleylis6181]

Does the bkack ink on glossy photo paper please as atm i have 3x espon including a A3 one and no matter what setting i use the black ink never dries so looking to purchase this printer Tia

[@gothicgorey]

You ever tried third party cartridges ? I have this printer and am looking at a way refill or buy the third parties

[@rebellucy6200]

Don't buy them.

[@Tashall]

Very informative video, just wondering how you are getting on with the printer since purchasing, would you still recommend. I am so close to purchasing from Argos, but one of the comments mentioned lack of detail with the black slightly bleeding onto greeting cards. How is your experience with fine detail and typography in general? Thanks :)

[@Artanddesignbykb]

So far I've had no problems and I'm still loving this printer. Different papers and cards do print differently but i had that issue with previous printers so find that its about finding the best paper / card quality i can for the printer. I use a lot of glossy papers, art papers, sticker papers and thick cards and all print perfectly. Hopefully that makes sense and helps.

[@tashal8879]

Thanks for the reply! Will check out your other videos. Always helpful to find a UK review 😊

[@rajeshnahar5585]

Is this inktank printer or inkjet printer?

[@mariumshafique7252]

how did you change the colour setting please?

[@vinayakkvideos]

Color variation is coming in my canon g 2000 printer. Is there any solution for this? Print variation is not clear until the cartridge is completely cleaned. Please tell me if there is any solution.

[@Artanddesignbykb]

Sorry, this isn't an issue I've come across yet, if i find any info that might help i'll come back and let you know.

[@estifanos5233]

How much is it

[@nouratamimi8426]

Hi! Can it be used for sublimation?

[@Artanddesignbykb]

I don't think so, I'm not too sure. I do have a different printer that i use for sublimation: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWi3equdfNt0pacsi=7ShetMIk2Jvp0Fqz

[@naemagraham649]

This is a pain in the a hole . I want to set up the wifi on it to print from my phone all now i don't get it hooked up smh

[@youjmac]

[@islanoor7085]

[@Artanddesignbykb]

Hiya, i'm so sorry i've no experience with a Macbook, if i find anything i think might help i'll come back and tag a link for you.

[@iqrashaheen1715]

Thank you so much, I still haven’t found anything 😫

[@barbaraperry6201]

Only bought today and haven't yet been able to link with wifi but I have used a cable instead. This definitely brings up different paper sizes, portrait/landscape etc. Hope this helps.

[@bosch2817]

Hi! How many prints can I make in A3? A thousand thanks

[@Artanddesignbykb]

Hiya, sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by how many?
