Canon MAXIFY GX2050

I was looking for a cheap ink tank printer with an ADF for scanning. No double sided scanning but that's to be expected unless you go for a much more expensive range. So far the print quality has been ok for documents not the sharpest and does lose fidelity when copying from the scanner worse from ADF . No bordeless printing but that's not a big issue for me. In regards to setting the printer up having come from a hp 5546 there are far more options on the Canon too many. The alignment setup is either done auto without scanning the printout or is done manually which is a bit complex and requires the use of the online manual. With the hp printer all you had to do was printout the page and scan it. I tested out a few photo printouts on standard paper and was disappointed to see some banding and yellow ink bleeding over. Overall it's 'cheap' for a reason. Ok for docs not HQ pics.

The Canon MAXIFY GX2050 combines ink tank printing with a compact design and a decent set of features. It’s not that expensive by refillable printer standards, and it’s extremely cheap to run. This multifunction is heavily focused on home offices rather than general-purpose use, so it’s not ideal for helping the kids with their homework. But if you’re running a small business or you do a lot of printing from home, it does offer great value.
