FAQs:

Does the PIXMA iX6850 support true A3+ printing?

Yes. It handles media up to A3+ (329 x 483 mm), which is larger than the standard A3 size. That extra size is useful for wide spreadsheets, technical drawings, posters and borderless photo prints without scaling down your layout.

Is it mainly for documents, or can it handle photos properly?

Although positioned as a business printer, it produces strong photographic results. The dedicated pigment black keeps text crisp on plain paper, while the dye colour inks deliver smooth tonal transitions and accurate colour for photo prints. It can produce borderless 10 x 15 cm prints in around 36 seconds.

Can multiple users connect to it at the same time?

Yes. With both Wi-Fi and Ethernet built in, the printer can connect to a wired or wireless network and be shared across several PCs. It also supports mobile printing through the Canon PRINT app and Apple AirPrint, which is useful for quick document output from tablets or smartphones.

How do the XL and XXL cartridges affect running costs?

Optional XL cartridges provide higher page yields than standard versions, lowering the cost per page over time. The XXL pigment black cartridge can print up to 1000 monochrome pages, which makes a noticeable difference in offices that produce a high volume of text-heavy documents.
